Panzerjager Squad image - Company of Heroes: Eastern Front mod for Company of Heroes: Opposing Fronts
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.

Description
Just something to tease ;).
(buried)
very well)) in them ability will hammer together working to the tanks?
Are the loaders actually gonna help loading? Or are they just gonna do nothing?
Also I think that it'll be more realistic if you gave them rifles. A squad really needs some more firepower to defend themselves from enemy infantry.
Maybe they set it up like the flag bearer of the strelky squad; when the loader dies, the panzerschreck's fire rate decreases?
If they were given rifles to protect themselves from infantry that would make them far too spammable. You're supposed to use them in conjunction with the rest of your force, not run them around in massive blobs obliterating everything you come across.
Yes, that makes sense. But maybe give them decreased rifle stats, like the US mortar (I believe)?
@ubermensche
That can be done as well.
Or mp40's (with about zero accuracy for balance) to further differentiate them from most other AT infantry (sappers got rifles, rangers got rifles by defualt, russians got rifles, both Panzer Elite and Wehrmacht got rifles...
what about pistols?
yeah they deserve some Mauser C96, a high fire rate yet not accurate to say the least, can be either with or without an elbow grip.
Yeah, give them rifles or submachine guns with weaker stat is better than carrying a P40, no commander is going to like the infamous p40, its small, its shot sound like pop gun, and makes those infantry carrying them unconvincing and look really pathetic on a battlefield. I rather they carrying rifle with power of pistol, sure its weak but at least they don't look that pathetic.
i love those mask XD
Stop teasing or I'll bite =)
That soldier with rockets loks a bit creepy.
I mean that bag with rockets.
His aim going to kill all of them. Because he is aiming at the wrecked truck which it is just a few inches away :3
i love it
I was looking at COH 2 then I saw this mod, I was like... am I a time traveler?
Btw, why you guys wont change the damage system? With this damage system, this mod stays second class to BK...
Both mods use different systems and have different goals. I think that's enough to explain why.
@kommissar
Atm the only mod which we can say we stay second class is to Modern Combat and not anyone else ;).
I like to play other mods, but to be honest Eastern Front is among the best ones(this is truth no matter if you disregard this argument because I'm a dev of the project). And not having a different damage system is not a detriment to enjoy EF, because as mentioned a lot of times CoH is not a game designed with such objective on mind. Which we understand and use it as starting point for everything we do.
If you want our "second class" soviets with "realistic" damage system you certainly won't find them here, because we are never going to implement them. Try Normandy 44 instead.
