Welcome CoH: Modern Combat fans,
We want to take the opportunity to thank you once more for your awesome support! You've voted us into the top 100 of this years Moddb Mod of the Year competition! Currently the final voting period is running and with your support we'll hopefully get into the top ranks!
As a thank you we promised you to deliver the first CoH: Modern Combat shoutcast in history! And here it is: A game from the current alpha version of our mod, between CoH:MC co-leader Darkbladecr and our map artist WmDSpanky. They are battling it out on one of the new maps, Senlin Lukou, by OnkelSam.
Spanky is not the only one from WmD clan, who is supporting our mod. In fact a large number of clan members are participating in the current alpha phase to bring the balance in line for a competitive future of our mod. In this context it seems just right to have two of their experienced members helping us out with the cast. WmDTommy952 and WmDSandland are joining OnkelSam as the gamecasters. A special thank you to WmD for all their support!
Now enjoy the show and be sure to give us your MOTY vote, if you like it!

Awesome. This video actually convinced me to go buy Men of War: Opposing Fronts JUST to play this mod. Fantastic job.
men of war opposing fronts? you just mentioned two totally different games lol.
I think you mean Company of Heroes: Opposing Fronts :P

Love this mod..! this is like waiting for a great game which comes out soon like it was to Bf3,
this would be the coolest christmas present dont u think :D *caught*
keep it up!
I love you guys!!
Will there be a Skirmish mode? I feel scared of the concept of other players pwning me :P
We have a working skirmish by now, yes.
YES! a working skirmish mode :D originally I wasn't going to download for a while because of there not being a skirmish mode, but now I can get it straight away :)
from what i observe, it seems that the chinese tanks are filled with ERA.
do they serve a purpose at all or are they just decorations?
They're a visual addition. Only the ZTZ 99 and Type 59D have ERA blocks on PLA side if I recall correctly.
That'd be a great Christmas present. -wink- ;D
Glorious shoutcast.
One cosmetic suggestion though, for accuracy sake.
The ZBD2000 is now actually called ZBD05. The "2000" designation was just its prototype designation, while the in-service nomenclature is associated with the year of its deployment - in that case 2005. The version armed with the 105mm gun is called ZTD05.
Good work as always.
Thanks for the suggestion, but as always, we need a source.
He's right on sites such as sinodefence or china defence its mentioned as well. should be a small text change
Ok, I'll get right on it.
:)
Hey great video guys, just one small suggestion,
Would it be possible to either beef up the M1A2 TUSK Abrams, make it buildable unit since it is unfair for the PLA to have a buildable tank, or lower the price since 1000 manpower is incredibly steep for the tank as it is. You guys had mentioned that it was equal to King Tiger from Vanilla CoH and by the looks it could be killed quite easily by a "medium" battle tank?! Other than that it looks awesome have you guys thought of a quarter of the year or maybe month for release of Demo or Full Version?
Thanks
P.S. just thought of a new sandbag for you, buildings or gerneral defense for the Americans, HESCO Bastion Barrier
Hesco.com, it is/was used in Afganistan and still used currently for defense for Base Camps.
Hey DDogg17,
The M1A2 TUSK (the heavier version of the standard M1A2 which is also in-game) really is a powerful unit. However, if you look closely in the video, you can see a lot of shells already bouncing off it's armour. Thing is, it was rushed in there, with no infantry support. It's a powerful unit, but not an overpowered unit (in our opinion). Combined arms is one of the most effective tactics in CoH, rushing a tank in with no support will make it (eventually) an easy prey. It's the right unit, but it wasn't used right in this case.
Regarding buildable M1A2; the PLA has the ZTD05 (105mm ZBD2000) and the Type 59D, while the US have the Stryker MGS as well as the Bradley which can be upgraded with a tow missile. Add to that, that the US have a strong non-doctrinal AT team (javelin, compared to RPG's of tankhunter), as well as AT4 upgrade for riflemen, they are more than capable of taking out vehicles. But not always 1:1, as the player needs to apply tactics to make it work. Also, 1000MP is the same as 3 riflemen squad + a grenade upgrade, so it's not as much as you think, just gotta choose wisely.
Release date will be when it's done.
Hesco's are already in the mod, we haven't showed them yet. They will be a map asset though, not buildable like sandbags or tank traps, as the VCoH one's are just fine.
The M1A2 TUSK did bounce a lot of shots (on its frontal armor as it should be), and did not have infantry support.
The fire power it has is laughable the T-59D a MEDIUM tank take a shell from the Abrams like a champ the rocket arty did as well, so you guys are telling us that a 2 T-59Ds' and a AT Gun can destroy an Abrams with ease without this Abrams getting a single kill.
The TUSK in this game should be like a Hero Tank like in TOV. This tank should have been able to snipe the 2 T-59s from long range. Granted this guy looks like he has no clue what he is doing. Is this tusk shooting M829A2, looks like a 75mm that the Sherman has.
No one knows the armor thickness of an Abrams nor what the armor is made of so making this a balanced tank based on the premise of armor thickness this is stupid. These Tusks have an APS system I never saw it explode a shell away from the tank well this game is not WIC-MWM.
If we would have turned this in a 'hero tank', capable of sniping Type 59D's, it would have been way overpowered. As said before, we don't want a super tank capable of destroying everything in it's path alone. We encourage the player to make use of proper tactics, otherwise as soon as you have the TUSK, you rush it into the enemy base and the game is over... not how it works. So it's fine as it is, make use of combined arms (javelins, rifles, engie's, bradley's etc etc) and you'll win. But just rushing it, no.
