Company of Heroes: Opposing Fronts mod | Released Dec 19, 2008
I would like to present you my Blitzkrieg Mod. This Mod exists since the end of march this year but until now it was only a german release, without any english speech support.
There are many features that I added, for expample a realistic wapon damage system I made. It´s the same system that is used in the actual BotB mod with my permission (Greetings to Halftrack). Here are the summarised main features of my mod:
- a much more realistic Weapon damage system (particularly the damage & penetration powers of tank guns)
- many new skins for infantry and tanks (and wrecks) also including many of my own made tank skins
- many new units for all factions
- modified and enlarged Commander Trees
- new abilities
- new sounds
- recommended new maps included
more features:
- historical correct vehicle speeds
- more detailed tank descriptions (armament & armour)
- increased line of sight & weapon ranges
- increased zoom out
- removed team colours
- removed transparency effects

New Tech Tree CW: R.A.F (Royal Airforce Tree) replaces the old Commando Tree. Here you can choose between 3 different Typhoon fighter-bomber ground attacks
This mod has only been an absolute Multiplayer mod because the AI can`t handle with tank crews. And since tanks don`t move and shoot without a crew inside no tanks are seen on the battlefield when you play againt the AI. So now with this new release I answer the call of duty from the german players for a single player version. So when you install my mod you can choose to install MP/SP or both.
The SP version has no tank crews anymore, so my absolute recommendation is to play the mp version if you battle against human players. Using the tank crews is a very nice feature.
My knowledge in optimizing the AI for the new units etc. is low so if you want to have hard battles you should use big maps (6/8p) when you play the sp version against AI! So if there is someone who has good experience in optimizing the KI please contact me!

Ok this will be my last post (hopefully) I got it working and all I had to do was install it to my desktop then take those files and drop em in the COH TOV folder, I have no more pink / beige errors. GREAT MOD GUYS! KEEP UP THE AMAZING WORK!
Sorry for a triple post but it seems that every time I install the patch, I get the pink buildings and units, please tell me what is wrong or fix this please. I love Blitzkrieg and I hate to see pink and untextured stuff in games, so thanks in advance for helping me out with this.
YES! THANKYOU! IT WORKS! YAY This is an excellent birthday present since my birthday is this Sunday (December 13th) This really made me happy! AND YOU HAVE THE JAGDTIGER! THAT IS MY MOST FAVORITE TANK DESTROYER! Once again, thanks, so much man, I will be watching this mod for a long time...
Sorry to be bothersome, but I would just like a suggestion on what to do, BK was installed on 2.601 (COH PATCH) and went in after I just finished reinstalling COH for it to work. It was awesomesauce until I saw PINK GERMANS! As I've stated before, it was the PE's Assault troops and all or their buildings were beige. Oh and about Noob55, i have had this mod before (earlier version) and the British are very powerful, provided that you use them right. (edit: I will try what you said but I will report back if that doesn't work thanks :)
I acknowledge that, i am Not trying to keep you here/ keep you busy. I am trying to make in intelligent point, instead of asking u "Why are units pink" or "When will the next patch come out" I am pretty sure i said in my comment specifically that when i played as the British, i had my units go behind cover and in trenches. I did Not have them just rush the enemy and still they were slaughtered in seconds. I am Not trying to start an issue, i am just trying to make a Point. I did play as the Americans and i am very impressed. You did make them exactly like they should of been. There soldiers are averagly good, like they can aim and kill German infantry but obviously at the same time they'll take losses even behind good cover. That's what it was like in WW II. I like everything you added to America alot but the only suggestion i would make is that you should of make their infantry build fox holes instead of trenches. I don't know if it would be really hard to program that into the game or not but the American soldiers built fox holes and i'm not sure if they ever used trenches...... Also a random question i wanted to add, when i was playing as the Wermasht Republic or however it is you spell that, when you register the Defensive doctrine where do you get the improved defensive structures like the Anti Tank ones. I tried to improve my bunkers after getting the upgrade but the bunkers only had upgrades for: Medical, repair station, heavy Mg and i think a mortar one also
There is a problem with the PE. The assault troops are showing up pink and the buildings are beige, can you please help me with this?
Have you really installed BK v1.60 BEFORE applying the lates patch? Uprgading from v1.5 with v1.6xx patches does NOT work.
If this isn't the problem: Have you tried completely deinstalling BK and then reinstalling v1.60 FULL with v1.603 patch to check if the error is still there? Mostly a reinstallation can get rid of those strange errors.
@N00b55: Sorry to say and I don't want to sound ahrsh, but this is the last time I'll be explaining this, I can't spent all my time around here. Seriously, you are like the only one who thinks that CW infantry is that weak. I recently played as British and slaugthered almost every german infantry I stumbeled over. Use cover and don't blindly rush at them (this applies to all infantry btw, not onyl the british), also use a Officer along with your troops and you should be fine. Remember that in BK the weapons do alot more damage then in vanilla CoH so using cover to your advantage and staying away from close-quarter weapons like MP40/StG44 is a MUST if your troops are equipped with Rifles (if it's vice versa: don't rush at rifle equipped guys with submachine guns, use cover or flank them, but if you jsut rush them they have plenty of time to kill your squad one by one, like in real-life).
Especially the Commandos are bad-ass units if used correclty [insert big exclamation mark here].
The British don't have the weakest infantry as you think, just check their unit stats in Corsix Mod-Studio yourself if you don't believe me.
Ok i mean no offesne and i really don't want to rant but it seems like u hugely downgraded the British soldiers. Look all i'm going to say is from playing this game, every single type of their soldiers gets fuacked up by standard german infantry. Infantry men, their sniper guys, engineers, and even Commandos get slaughtered by regular german infantry. Commandos should be the most elite infantry in the game so my quessiton is why did u guys make it so they get slaughtered in seconds by german infantry. Hmm? 0_o IT has absolutely nothing to do with realism cause i can have them go behind cover or go in trenches and they still get slaughted. I don't want to make any accusations, i just want to hear your reason for makeing the British infantry bad
Ooo nice heh yeah but i didn't understand at first, i love how realalistic you made it. Like soldiers can actually aim their guns now Yay! 1 Up! lol hahaha XD before/ Un Modded company of heroes soldiers were retarded and fired at the ground or now where near the the enemy. Now you guys made them actually smart so there is an actual point to cover and what not. Very good job on that :3 I Love it so far, the only problem i had was you guys made tanks and vehicles very expensive which gave me a sad face =( but at the same time this causes the enemy to take a while to get vehicles as well so yay! lol originally you all have to admit, Company of Heroes un modded is basically just a race to see who gets tanks or AT guns first which made the game kinda stupid. Luckily though u guys fixed that so people can actually play with infantry lol. Anyways great mod overall, i only got one question. Will this mod work with other mods? I Really want to keep this mod but i want to download Eastern Fronts when it comes out. I think it would be really cool to add Eastern Fronts to what you guys did =D
BK works with all mods that don't alter vanilla CoH files. Usually big mods like Normandy 44 and Battle of the Bulge don't alter any CoH files and just put their files (like BK) in a seperate subfolder. Those files are then only loaded when BK is run so you can still play vanilla CoH and also other Mods as long as they also put their files in a own subfolder and don't replace original CoH files.
I'm pretty sure that EFM will also be compatible like the others already are.
