The Great War is a modification for Company of Heroes meant to bring the war two decades earlier. This mod focuses on the later years of the First World War. Currently the two teams will be the British Expeditionary Force against the German Empire, however with time the team will try and bring some more nations in, such as France and Austria-Hungary. This mod will focus or realism but keep the game balanced enough to make it enjoyable. Things to look for in the mod are the famous artillery strikes and the infamous gas attacks. Trenches will provide vital cover for infantry while tanks will roll over the battlefield and instil fear into the enemy troops.
Showing off all the vehicle and crewed weapon models of the Imperial German Army faction in The Great War 1918 modification for Company of Heroes.
Fahrpanzer and Fokker D.VII modelled and skinned by Krätzer. It is used with the authorisation (and blessings!) from our inside1918 partners of the BF1918 mod.
Minenwerfer modelled and skinned by Cireva.
Other models by Rataconfusca.
The E-V/4 was skinned by Chopin; all other textures by don_Durandal.
These models are all ingame as of version 1.2 of the mod, released in April 2014.
They sure are nice :D
sweet april will be a good time :)
You mean "was". It was already released.
Toys, Toys Everywhere!
woo hoo nice i love this mod
Just out of curiosity, how much time do you guys spend on the average model?
Depends. It can be anywhere from an hour for a grenade to several days for a complex model like an artillery piece (and I mean full days, not just evenings after work).
Size doesn't really matter; it's more about complexity. The A7V for instance took relatively little time since it's mostly a box (though animating and setting it up in the editor was a pain due to the side MGs all needing their own animations and states). Any artillery piece on the other hand tends to be complex to make, with lots of parts that need to be modelled, UV mapped and textured.
The model that has taken the most time so far is the French Peugeot, since the autocannon's crew had to be animated from scratch.
'Animated from scratch?
i never thought scratch would do this much, i use this app at school lol
To "do something from scratch" is a common English-language expression which means "doing something from the beginning, without a previous base to work on".
It has nothing to do with the programming language.
Just a question- The beutepanzer( both female and male) used german or brithish weaponry?
Its just because i just realized how much logistical problems would the germans have...
The 6-pounders of the male tanks were replaced with 57mm Maxim-Nordfeldt guns. The Lewis guns were adapted to use German ammunition.
So the damage stats are also modified in-game?
No. A 57mm gun is the same calibre as a 6 pounder, and machine gun damage is the same no matter the ammunition. Adding different stats would be ludicrously pointless. The less weapons I have in the mod, the easier it is to balance and tweak stats.
how can I get the heavy mg08 team? ( not mg08/15 team)
The MG08 is only in strongpoints. The mobile MG for the Germans is the 08/15, as was historically the case by 1918.
Any idea when we will get to see the Austrians?
