Nope. Please install the CoH new steam version!

Small personal note: No one at the team can speak or read russian. When u have idea/suggestions/criticism or a bug report please post in english. Thank you very much!

Nope. EF is an "unofficial" fan made addon and that is the reason why we will use the CoH dmg system.
And out of my personal view(!) mods like BK will never be able to achieve pvp balance.

Ostheer can build Tigers with the Elite doctrine (and some research). So Ostheer has access to the Tiger ;)

That is fixed for a long time now. Our internal beta is working fine with 3 factions per side.

To be honest i cant understand why everyone is so focused on BK? EF was designed to be an "unofficial" addon for Relic CoH. So EF will use the combat system and dmg system of CoH vanilla. It is already a pain to get a solide balance on this system. BK is - basing on my experience - a pvp balance nightmare and monster. The "realistic" dmg system (i hate already the term because you cant simulalte "realism" in an abstract system like the pc) is a nightmare for pvp gameplay.
But thats my (!personal!) point of view. I think the most important points were already posted by Mr Burro ;)

wow. impressive work. catn wait to see more. who made all the models?

There is an error in your installation.
Check our board at easternfront.org => Bug & Tech-Support.
Thank you very much.

At the moment you can download the mod only on paradox plaza. But we are working on a new version. The new version will be available here on moddb.com.

Use an other explorer please OR the second download link at paradox plaza.

Bish and Darc are working on the Steam files.
Closed Steam Beta is still running.

There are no news at the moment. I'm sure Bish could make some screens from Corsix but it wont help anyone here ^^

They arent released. They are part of our internal tests and will first released at the steam closed beta.

Well. This is more or less a question of company policy and company business. And keep in mind; When EF would become an independent game u have to pay it ;) At the moment its is free for everyone ^^ And i think that's the best part of a mod, or?

EF is released. When u talk about the patch we have announced: please be patient. We will inform u when we are able to release the new patch. Thank u very much.

U need CoH on Steam for the Easternfront-Mod.

Option for chose between combat systems isnt an option for us ;) We are a fan-made unofficial addon - we wont change key mechanics of the vanilla game.

U have done a mistake during the installation.
Check first:
CoH steam version installed and in running condition?
CoH EF last version (v2.10 FULL) downloaded?
When installation EF check the path: EF has to be installed in ../steam/steamapps/common/company of heroes relaunch.
Start launcher and download and install (check path again!) the small patch.
Have fun with EF.

Download ;) Wont be a "small patch".

U can deploy it in your base sector.
But this concept will be worked.

Interesting bug fix ^^

JUpp. Reinstall should be the best solution.

Russian firebase will be part of a new soviet reward doctrine.
So it is just a temporary removing for a new gameplay balance.

LMG team will be replaced by our new bombadier team. So we are changing one unique unit with an other. MP40/I will be used on a different squad (perhaps reward doctrine or special weapon for a squadleader). The Panzerjägers are part of an offmap callin battlegroup for army support doctrine. When u need early infantry anti tank power u can upgrade Landser with Panzerbüchsen 39.

Because we will use the Sturmtiger in an own doctrine? And the new doctrine need time to be coded and balanced? Dont worry. Sturmtiger has a lot of fans out there and it will return on the battlefield ;)

Keep in mind; computers and videogames are "programmed code lines". U cant simulate the reality with a computer (or better: with a limited engine like CoH).
Thats the reason why i call it "pseudo realistic" because it faked/cheated realism in the abstract medium "videogame". Just a simple "fact" of CoH BK and realism: What is the size of an CoH map? 100m? 250m? 500m? What is the range of tanks? 15m? 25m? 50m? When BK would be realistic tank would be able to shot from base to base. So u have to make "compromises" and that is again a reason for my personal opinion of "pseudo realism". I prefer the abstract system of CoH because it is basing on gameplay and balance and not on a simulation of "realism".

Nope. EF is an unofficial AddOn and wont change the demage system into a "pseudo realistic damage system".

Well. Like i said; It is not a matter of tanks. It is your gameplay and skill. StuG III was never designed to beat SU 100 in combat. Your main anti tank weapon is the doctrinal tank. They were designed to fight enemies armour. E.g. Ostheer Panzer IV is a kind of "german M18 Hellcat/M10 Wolverine". Not good against infantry but good and cheap against armour. On the other side u have the Pak 40 with high anti tank potential. Marder II can beat T-34/76s. There is a lot of anti tank power available.

That is more or less a question of player's skill and unit balance than adding "more tanks" ;)

Soon ;)
