Oleksandr

Working on some alternative history mod. 
I've noticed that a lot of equipment in SF2 would fit cold war era. 
Using my spare time to play around with some models. 



 

BMP pack is almost ready but them infantry models will take time. 



I have a plan to make it somewhat like CMA but with Warsaw pact units. Will be meant to play red on red - with German forces on one side and rebels on the other. Mod is planned to cover time period of mid 60 till late 70s of the 20st century. Syria represented within the game will be treated by mods of this series as Afghanistan. No modern tech will be modded - simply Warsaw pact go against rebbles in Afghan/Iran area. 

Based on your past successes, am sure this will be an xnt mod, Olek.  Looking forward to it.

Great job as always, Olek.  When you went dark for a few months I was worried you had burned out like so many of our best modders.  Am happy that you are back! 
 

In a meanwhile - working on my first Sherman tank mod: 

Indeed - thank you Bootie! 

Always welcome! 

Always welcome! 

+1 NICE!!!  I have the above unit crest on one of my old berets.  I spent most of my time in the 313th MI Bn. of the 82nd (the unit crest in my moniker).  But I also did a few months in the Division's HQ, HQ Company in the 1980s.  The above crest was worn by HQ Company.  Maybe a few other Division level units also wore it?  I don't remember now.  Of course we all wore the division shoulder patch except it was subdued on our BDUs.   Cool mod, thank you.

Enjoy! 

The mod should be avaliable for download soon!) 

Working on those Airborne forces: 

The base of my work is 82nd Airborne Division. 

adding up some details


Will be doing American gear separately due to different branches represented in the game

Adding small eyecandies as usual:

Do far the biggest problem was to put American flag on them troops. The problem was that making them big and added to a white bondage would look horrific within the game. 
So the flag will be kind of small yet the very same that've been used in real life: 

Obviously work on uniform never stops:

Reading and listening a lot about US Airborne forces. It became more than a mod but a small interest of mine. I think it would be fair to say that Airborne forces got some charming operations in their backpack.

Might be working on this mod longer than usual due to the busy life and the fact that I might include few variants of uniforms. 
So we'll see what happens when the mod is ready. Enjoy your week gentlemen.

Superb stuff, Oleksandr, keep them coming! 

CMFI: Vickers MG by Oleksandr

Retextured model of Vickers MG for CMFI originally made for Armed Forces of Poland. Yet, it will run perfectly to all allied forces that are using these machine guns. Major changes: ammo box, barrel, tripod, etc. Enjoy!

new details were added

ammo boxes were retextured

Tripod textures were added

overall a lot of small changes were added as well. Will not conflict with any other mod.

CMFI: Armed Forces of Polant V1.0 is ready for downloads: 

This is my first CMFI mod. In this mod I worked on uniforms, patches, insignias, medals, coronations, worn look, and helmets. This mod does not include winter uniforms as they would be placed into separate modification. This mod will be updated within time.

Key features:
Uniforms are updated and edited. 
Decorations added to Jr and Sr officers. It was a big deal for me and it was important for me to make those decorations represented within the game as they are important parts of Polish history.
So company level commanders are decorated with the Order of the Cross of Grunwald:

The Order of the Cross of Grunwald was conferred to Polish or the allied military for valour or merit in combat with Nazi Germany.
From the other hand - the Battalion level commanders are decorated with Order of Polonia Restituta.

It is conferred on both military and civilians as well as on foreigners for outstanding achievements in the fields of education, science, sport, culture, art, economics, national defense, social work, civil service, or for furthering good relations between countries.

Other patches and insignias were added as well. 

Work on those patches was a bit confusing for me as I'm not that good in terms history related to Allied forces. Mostly my knowledge about World War Two comes from Eastern Front events as both of my grand-grandfathers were fighting nazies. 

But two people @Frenchy56 and @Falaise helped me with that insignia problem. By following their advices I've changed my uniform configuration few times. 
I will be editing this mod in a future to achive greater results but for now it is what it is and I'm pretty happy about it. 

In this mod regular soldiers are wearing way dirtier uniform than their officers. Jr Officers are wearing pretty decent amount of dust and dirt on them while Sr Officers are wearing nearly new uniforms. Different types of Polish style helmets are added as well. 


Overall it is first modification of mine within CMFI setting and I'm pretty excited about it. 
I hope that some of you will enjoy it!

Certain work on helmets: 

In game: 


In game: 

One of my first mods in this series will be related to Polish infantry. 

Patches will be updated, also I was watching some photos from Italian war theatre and was working on adding some dust to those uniforms. 
Another modification which I'm currently working is a Lee Enfield SMLE MKIII. I wanted to add more details to existing model and I wanted it to be made out of the dark wood. 

Now I've added few authentic details to this rifle - list of additions will be posted along with the mod itself when it will be ready. 

Historically wise it is an extraordinary weapon because it was used in so many wars. I'm new to the British school of weapon making and it was very interesting for me to focus on this simple yet, important element of the game. 

 
 

Recently I was introduced to this game, and it was totally new experience for me. I found it interesting how this game changes the way you think on a tactical level. Furthermore, I found few elements of 
this game that I would might want to change a little. After some time playing it, I've decided to make few steps towards allies and their operations. It was their equipment that made me interested. As a history lover, and as a person who enjoys this game I've started my work on few modifications. World War Two setting was an initial insparation for me. Modders that were modding World War Two games here were are masters of what they are doing. The amount of details that some mods are providing is mind blowing. I did quite a few mods here and there and I got a feeling that I will try to enter this room with a big hope to add something that will be enjoyed by other players in their battles. It is time for me to try myself in a big boys game. I'm not sure that everything what I will do will be 100% accurate - but I will try to do my best. With a deep respect to this community I'm opening my new modding space. I hope that some of you will enjoy my stuff.

This looks very impressive! 

CMSF2: 7th Infantry Division by Oleksandr

This is my last mod of this year - US Army Infantry mod. 

I've been insipired by the history of this unit and I've decided to give it a go here in CMSF2. 
This mod contains a lot of small details. Such as patch of the US Army Signal Corps on each back of each man carrying radios. 

Now you have actually opened PDA with the map of Aleppo streets on it: 

Your soldiers are finally well camouflaged 
this is without icons

this one is with some icons on 

Closer look: 

Harris details were added as well: 

Enjoy your battles gentlemen and happy holidays to everyone!
