Hi !
 
I hope Battlefront does not plan any Marines or NATO forces module.
I would not buy them, yes they have different tools but it would still feel the same (Ukraine, Summer, West vs. Russia).
Also, it would feel kind of "cheap" do do a Marines/NATO module again, its most likely much less work because they already have the stuff from the Shock Force modules.
 
What would be cool would be Separatist Module with lots of new scenarios and a winter/autumn landscape.
Or a Crimea module about a fictional recapture attempt by the Ukraine military.
 
What do you think about that ?

To be clear, with "NATO" i was talking about the "already done in Shock Force" stuff (Brits,German,Dutch) a module with Polish or baltic troops would be cool !

Kieme CMBS T-90A
 
This mod starts with BTR 's research and conversion of russian vehicles into a realistic green color, so all credits shall go to him as the author of the original texture, which is in my opinion a great digital version of the original modern russian green, therefore special thanks to him and his work.
 
I decided to try the most famous russian 3-tone camo. Mixed feelings about it, it's quite hard to get the right sand color and this is only an attempt; besides, the game textures are not really camo friendly, you can't get exactly what you want, some compromise is necessary... Speaking of compromises, the side skirts should be Painted as well, I left them in black rubber because my techniques do not allow me to get the same sand/green colors on them, so note this as a necessary compromise.  
 
IMPORTANT
there are TWO versions of this mod. You must choose only ONE of them to install. They cannot work toghether. Therefore, please make your choice: plain dark green or 3 tone camo. The weathering is the same for both.

Yes, american soldiers will be next. Trying to mod some new faces for now.
 


 
I would like to add as many new guys as possible, but it's quite a long process, even with good pictures.

I left the less inspiring vehicle for last... with this one the USA vehicles are finished modding using these methods.

A few people have asked for them so in the time honoured tradition: if you want them bung me a PM.
 
Note: they are a V1, I haven't really gone to town on them. There may be a V2. There may not.

You have to do the same for all armies if you want them to show up for every army.
 
Example:
 
russian-soldier-skin
russian-soldier-skin 2
russian-soldier-skin 3
...
up to number 8
 
ukrainian-soldier-skin
ukrainian-soldier-skin 2
ukrainian-soldier-skin 3
...
up to number 8
 
american-soldier-skin
american-soldier-skin 2
american-soldier-skin 3
....
up to number 8
 
Cover all the numbers (at least) to substitute all in game faces.

If someone is interested in this little option... thanks to SeinfeldRules and panzersaurkrautwerfer for the idea.
it's the very same hull but with a VS-17 signal panel taped on the top.
Please note: all M1200 in game will have that taped on top.

Wheels for Stryker being finalized.

Here is a mod for one of the small barns : one concrete and a wooden one.  The building uses two different sets of textures that you can swap in game. Just copy the folder in the usual spot.
 
They're not perfect but I am getting tired of working on it.
Oh yes, I didn't bother modding the interior, didn't seem like it was worth the hassle.
 

 

 
I hope you enjoy them.

Start on Strikers...
 
As a first thing I wanted to make a very good wheel (the original one is still very nice); first of all, I doubled the resolution (HD wheel!) of the original file, then I grabbed the pneumatic (and tread) out of a real striker photograph, changed the colors a bit, and "mounted" it on the original rim.
 
 
Still needs weathering and maybe a bit stronger normal map (I have corrected the trim after looking at this picture to match the correct scale):
 

Wargames like Combat Mission want to be niche, thats just the truth.
The developers fear to attract a bigger audience because this will mean more criticism and more support work.
The players fear to become "mainstream", they dont want the Company of Heroes "kiddies" to play "their" game too.

Most games support 2 or even 3 cores.

I dont like all the "uhh poor Battlefront" talk here.
They sell games to people, those games are not cheap, especially when you consider that they use the same engine since 8 years now.
That they dont care about simple things that modders like Kieme do in a few days could be considered disrespectful to their loyal customers.

Kieme CMBS USA Hummer
 
Should cover all hummer variants.
 
The usual weathering and color changing to fit other US Army vehicle mods.

Kieme CMBS USA Bradley desert ERA add on
 
This is just an option.
This mod adds some ERA blocks of a different color (desert yellow). These blocks will be shown on each Bradley in a random fashion, thus making each vehicle different.
The texture for desert blocks has been imported from the old CMSF.
If you like the concept, it creates sort of a camouflage.
