Iron Thunder is an upcoming mod for Rising Storm 2. Focus is on the early years of the invasion of the Soviet Union. Using most assets from Red Orchestra 2 and adding my own additional content i aim to create a fun experience in the Rising Storm 2 game. Most weapons from Red Orchestra 2 will be retextured and possibly further modified. As 83 is being developed for Unreal Engine 4, i might move this project to that game once it releases. For now it's an opportunity for me to learn more about unrealscript and how to add mod content to the engine.
For those interested, more work done on uniforms. I have gone back to remodeling the german uniforms to match the soviet ones better. It's less contrasted but a much cleaner model that will be easier to animate and modify. What you see on the image is the german M40 tunic, the early war variant, with ankle boots and gaiters to match. A boot variant is to come, as well as a tunic variant with rolled sleeves and an open collar for the veterans.
A quick update on current work being done on the mod.
Not bad. First time I see the Feldmütze M34, M38 and M40 properly in a game.
However, you need to know the difference between Feldgrau Colours used in this Campaign, dunno if with "early" you mean to 1941-1943, but Das Heer (not the Wehrmacht, because this one comprises the total of German Forces, not only the Army) didn't used one single Feldgrau pattern. The same applies to the Stahlhelm.
Anyway, looking forward to your Project.
PS: the title will be Iron or Dark Thunder?
Best wishes and greetings.
Hey there, thanks for your input. Most of the german stuff uses a texture with the feldgrau RGB values, but slightly greener i think. I made these last year so hard to remember. I will probably add an M36 uniform with the stone grey pants, with the early war stuff for higher level unlocks. What’s your take on the SS tunic, same colour as the Heer or a lighter grey as in the picture?
Not sure on the title, Iron Thunder sounds better but i don’t know. It’s the content that matters.
And the same to you, cheers
