Michael Dorosh Posted September 26, 2002 Share Posted September 26, 2002 Just took a walk through the Kharkov Zoo - I must say, the SS smocks and helmet covers are extremely well done in the stock art! Terrific attention to detail, and the colours look great. I notice the unit portrait is in Wehrmacht uniform, though - with the duplication of these bmps, as well as the Soviet ones, I am concluding here that many unit portraits will be released in the first patch (to include Waffen SS and late war Soviet) - I take it this has already been confirmed?

There are a total of 6 Waffen SS smocks in different camouflage patterns. Look at the Waffen-SS Infantry, Panzergrenadier and Mountain units at different dates I don't know if the unit portraits are going to be patched. I don't think so, but I may be wrong.

Chad Harrison Posted September 26, 2002 Share Posted September 26, 2002 The first battle that I fired up had the SS in it, and I loved their camo. Great work whoever did it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Madmatt Posted September 26, 2002 Share Posted September 26, 2002 Unfortunately there are no plans currently to re-do those images in a patch, at least not the first one that I am aware of. Every time we have looked at how best to re-do the unit portraits the time and effort to do them all is simply not available to us. We first wanted to use color pics, like what we did in CMBO. After a lot of time was spent we found that we simply could not get good pics of all the units required. Then we looked to use re-enactors, but again we could not find enough source material. We then toyed with using in game screenshots, but the time to do it was simply not there and the results were sometimes a mixed bag. The current implementation was the best we could do with the resources and time we had. However, they are fully modable. Any takers?

Rob Murray Posted September 27, 2002 Share Posted September 27, 2002 Really well done graphics overall!!! I can't see anyone finding fault with any of them. I especially like the little Orders of the Red Banners, ( what looks like an Order of the Patriotic War ( 2nd Class ) & I'm pretty sure; Combat Service Medals on some of the Russian officers.
