Announcing you the North Africa Theater mod for Company Of Heroes. Company Of heroes: Afrika is a Total Conversation mod, that will bring North Africa to your game. Afrika mod will take you from the beaches and hedges of Normandy to the dreaded sands of North Africa. The mod not only brings in new environments, models and textures but also bug fixes, revamped weapons system to suit open desert warfare and a completely different, open desert tactics, where two world class generals clash together in an unforgiving battle over teritory and resources, who will win? You decide!
Medium strenght at gun of the Afrika Korps.
Texture by Slayerknecht.
Just want to say that development is going great and imo, quite fast. British models should start showing up soon and some articles aswell, so keep an eye on it.
Also wondering, should I use pak38 or pak40? Nothing is set in stone and everything you see could change, so don't hesitate to suggest and advice.
Thanks for all the support guys.
You can give the pak38 to all the doctrines and when you chose the Field Artillery Doctrine (or another doctrine), you add the pak40 as a building option or replacement for the pak38 all together.
The point is, that it would be nice to be Doctrine Specific (the pak40 I mean).
Maybe, It was rare though, but I'd like to include it and having it as a doctrine specific unit or upgrade might work. but definately not a reward unit, can't affor to have 75mm gun as the main at gun, will eat british tanks.
Yeah I'll say. You guys are flying! This mod will be out in no time at this rate.
Is Fallschirmjäger-Brigade Ramcke gonna be in the mod along with its British counter Stirling's Special Air Service?
Nice model aidas2.... Keep on good work.... I would like to see a pak 40.... Now is 1:0 for pak 40, let's see the other's :D
It's relics pak 38 with a new texture.
pak38, but it depends on the British armor imho
I'l try to include as much as possible, so you can expect all the main tanks.
Is there a estimated month or time frame of when this will be, and can you put up like a progress that has percentage complete
Don't know myself.
maybe like tov units, pak 40 for pak 38, the trade off is pak 38 is weaker strength wise, but is very mobile unlike the pak 40 and cheaper. but the pak 40 is stronger just moves slow and is expensive compared to pak 38
There will be reward units, but having a 75mm gun, opposed to a 50mm at gun as the main at gun is overkill. So no, it won't work that way.
My vote is on doctrine-specific...
I'd rather see only the 38 - the PaK 40 only started appearing in greater numbers in late '42 and '43, and since you don't plan on covering Tunisia and Torch, it'd make more sense to only have the 38 as it was more abundant. Not to mention that the Ostfront probably had priority regarding AT weapons due to the increasing numbers of T-34s and KV-1s.
Don't plan? The mod covers the whole North Africa theater. There's even Tigers that came later in the theater. One thing for sure is that Pak 40 did see some combat use in Africa, not in great numbers but it definately did.
Well, you mentioned that you didn't plan on adding the Americans as a faction, and in my mind they're pretty important if you want to portray the later part of the NA campaign. Hence, I assumed you'd be covering the NA campaign up to Alamein and the subsequent German retreat - sorry if that's an incorrect assumption. :)
Not planning to add Americans as they bring in absolutely nothing new, it would litelary be a carbon copy of vUS faction, doubt that many would want to play it, there's simply no way to make them different. While AK and Desert Rats are pretty much redone from the ground up, with completely different units, doctrines, playing styles. Americans would just be a simple reskin, not worth the space.
If you think, that nobody would play the Americans, I think you are wrong.
You could make a poll on relic news to get an idea of the general gamers thoughts...
Aidas, imo both should be included, but the Pak40 had a big mobility problem, it weighed a lot, and there was no way it could be moved like it is shown in CoH (pushed by 2 men). It should be immobile but can be rotated, like the vanilla coh 17 pounder, although your choice wether you'll give it an emplacement or not. I'd suggest it would have a primitive camo ability instead of an emplacement.
Yeah, I was thinking similiary, maybe as a doctrine specific gun, that is only buildable with arty or panzer doctrine, but is only static. Will balance out against a buildable by all 17/25 pdr.
no make one like in blitzrkieg when the 5 man crew pushes it wouldbe farmore used caus ei wouldnt use an AT gun that cant move cause it is just a vaste of popcap in my opinion :)
No, it will be op to have 2 movable at guns that can cause serious damage. Britons get static 17/25 pounder, axis get static pak 40 and flak 18.
Good idea, I know the damage system will be a tweaked Vcoh system but Real life speaking, the 17/25 (and late production 17pdrs)had armour penetration between the Pak40 and the Flak18 (or any 88mm, for that matter). So even though the British will only have one type of steroid AT gun, it is sort of an intermediate.
What about the Pak 40?
EDIT: Never mind >_>
ha!
hahaha! alright enough Laughing :)
