Eastern Front is a free mod for Company of Heroes. Following the ethos of mimicking a Relic Entertainment expansion pack, Eastern Front has succeeded in adding two full new factions, the Soviet Red Army and the German Ostheer, packed with unique and exciting units to the existing armies - a feat never before achieved in the Company of Heroes world.

umm, where is the guns??
its rifle men that hasent a rifle, look at enemy at the gates, every second soldier get a rifle there
These are Mechanics.
alesi08 you are half right,half wrong.It was like that in the beginning of the war but after 1942 every Soviet soldier had a rifle.Enemy at the Gates is just a movie,a dam good one,but still just a movie.
There were millions of Rifles, enough to fill the hands of every Soviet Soldier even during the early days of the war. However, limited numbers of Weapons reached the front due to supply lines being bombed. There was one time during Stalingrad where a Train full of supplies was destroyed and therefor a squadron of Soviets had to make do with a very limited supply of Rifles, one to every second man I presume, but it was not the same situation throughout the entire Red Army for the entire duration of the war as some may believe.
Anyway, These are Mechanics.
Yes, they would give one soldier a clip of ammunition, and the other would get a rifle. When the one with the rifle died, the one with the ammo clip would pick it up, put the clip in and open fire.
Stop playing Call of Duty and go read some history books. You'll find your statement is wholly inaccurate.
Actually, it is true that a good part of Rodimstev´s 13th Guards regiment entered Stalingrad without enough rifles. While I wouldn´t believe the distribution was exactly as in the movie, they certainly had problems to supply the men with enough weapons.
I think you can read this fact as true in Antony Beevor´s "Stalingrad".
yes...many people play a game and think its the reality...but it isnt...
xD that was precisly what i was going to say is Call of Duty is an entertaining video game with minor parts of history in it, but the game isnt Fact, because i got shot sooooo many times in that game and my dude was still able to pick up 20 different guns and shoot.
so i believe its safe to assume if you have played call of duty You dont know jack.
That's what I said.
How do you delete comments?
Yeah I have that movie one soldier gets a rife next doesn't but instead he gets ammo for the rifle so when the guy with the rifle gets killed the guy behind him with the ammo picks it up so they probably didn't get the rifle.
in Call of Duty(first version) Russians Rifle are very Limited and you was just given a 5 Rifle Bullet!
Well its still a game that doesn't meen its reality.Read BurroDiablo's comment
Well there are animations for soldiers without weapons in COH, why not use them?
We are. This screenshot is of the skin *before* it was coded into Eastern Front. It is just a preview.
It is a tank crew?? so they have to be armed with TT-33 pistols!
These are Mechanics, they're a Doctrine unit who can Advance Repair and Salvage.
Please, Bloody_Hell, read comments before you make assumptions on units. You have done this on just about every unit and ended up looking a bit silly.
man some of the people watching this mod seem to complain a lot...lol
Some want historical realism more than great gameplay, which is silly really given normal CoH isn't exactly the most historically accurate game on earth. This is acting like an expansion pack, as if Relic had made it, so we can afford to make small historical errors and exaggerations (like the lack of rifles thing) in order to keep the game interesting.
Some can be quite anal about it though... like wrong coloured lapels on the Commissar... that's just plain nitpicky.
too bad that you can see that they have invinsible weapons xD
Soviet camouflage at its best XD
The invisible weapon thing is fixed anyway, this is an old screen.
playing soldier
Noooooooooooo :'-( if i want install the patch there stand i have a unrecognized version :'-( what does it mean :(
1)У меня последняя версия мода, когда я загружаю карту с одиночной игрой почти всегда появляется ошибка о там, что во временной папке Temp недостаточно места. В оригинальной игре такого никогда не было.
2)Почему солдаты в шинелях? А снайперы и бронебойщики ещё и в шапках-ушанках. Это же зимняя форма.
3)Почему у офицера на рукаве повязка с серпом и молотом? В РККА таких не было.
4)Противотанковые ружья не те что были в РККА.
5)Почему у половины призывников нет оружия? Использовать "фильм" "враг у ворот" в качестве исторического источника - оскорбление (да и просто глупо).
6)Красные флаги в РККА использовались либо на марше либо вешались в казармах. В бою их не использовали так как был риск повредить или потерять. Лишь в редких случаях и то в качестве исключения. Лучше передать его в отряд офицера и дать знаменосцу автомат, чтоб от него хоть какая то польза была.
6)Так как в советских отрядах солдат больше, может нужно удлинить траншеи, что бы солдаты не пропадали?
7) когда ждать выхода новой версии мода?
