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.
We are close to release the second sneaky peaky video but we have decided to post some screenshots of some of the units of the Schutzen War Camp meanwhile. Hope you enjoy it!
This is the Schutzen War Camp, second building available for Ostheer. Model by Relic, modified and animated by Walki, the flak 38 at the top is only for eye candy just like the halftrack ausf. B.
Would be nice if you could get the Flak to fire... I know it is possible to put guns on buildings because the Wehrmacht Defensive Doctrine allows you to have MG's put up on buildings.
It would be pretty badass if you got the spotlights to 'search' in the sky when it gets dark.
Ostheer already have flak emplacements as base defense... I don't think they need flaks on top of their tier buildings :P.
My only suggestion then would be to remove those Flak batteries around the base and have the current ones as a sort of 'permanent base defense' (as long as the building stands, the Flak stands, but it has inaccuracy shooting infantry or something to balance it out).
It's up to you guys entirely though.
We are probably going to include a temporary fortress doc ability for that.
Sounds cool, keep being awesome guys!
Owh... I get what you mean... ur saying that there will be no base defenses... just except that the building has there own independant defenses...
I never had thought of that... that kinda sound awesome!!!
When is the ostheer coming out?
Soon
and how about that light on the rooftop, will it be shining? (Srry for bad english)
The texture looks really impressive, but I think it needs some more details. Let's say some sandbags around it, Ostheer flag, oil drums, ammo/supply crates perhaps a camo netting for the flak on the top. Looking forward to the Ostheer! Cheers!
Improvements are planned, other stuff needs finished first though ;)
Improvements are done already. We updated the building but now the screenshot is outdated.
Does that flak actually work?
No, it says in the description.
How about an upgrade similar to "Fortify the perimeter" that made it start working?
You already have flaks as a base defense. Why do you need more?
You can never have to much flak.
Mainly it has something to do with the balance. Having a 360° Baseflaks is already a huge advantage.
When I First saw the small images on the main page I thought it was some kind of mobile battle fortress >.<
me too
Oh that's nice :-)
@Woozle No it's eye candy.
amazing
Make the flak 38 a building upgrade in the production menu like the fuel depot uprgrade or like the mg for the bunker or something else, otherwise take it off
@AwayPeskyFlies
I don't think the flak 38 is going anywhere even if it doesn't have crew ^^. As stated it is there as eye candy, not to be used, just like the Halftrack.
*sigh...
@AwayPeskyFlies
Deal with it dude ;).
How adorable
I know, it is pretty cute how you are arguing about making it useable, when some of the devs have stated it "might" be used for a fortress doctrine ability.
i bet, but it wont
how can i know about my version?
Pedi, you already posted on the Summary page please stick to that one.
can you tell me what should i do?
Install Company of Heroes
I think you could make that building so you can garrison it and then the flak could fire?
We could but we won't :p. Simply because we don't want a new defensive faction. The flak will remain decoration.
Nice !
Are you going to prepare all new building ?
Yes, we have models for every new building and I'm sure you'll like them!
Nice, and are you going to do new models for USSR too ?
Well, we have to finish all Ostheer models first. After that we are probably going to push out some soviet base buildings.
Can you guess when will be ostheer finish , or it is top secret.
There's still a lot of work to do but we are getting closer and closer to the beta. I think (not offical) that we are going to finish it in summer.
Okey. How far are you in balancing Royal marines ?
It's in progress. Our Balance Team is working on the next patch atm.
a new german team? GREAT :D
this looks amazing, great job guys
BTW
Can you make AI to play as RMC ?
We are not planing to add that feature, sorry.
Why not as you know Brit is the WORST faction if it's controled by AI. Is it hard to make ?
Probably not but we are no longer focusing on RMC especialy not when related tp the AI.
