[NW][M]Iron Europe - WWI Mod (RELEASED) - Old Thread

[Kammin]

Better then nothing anyway xD

I saw a video somewhere of Italian armor troops that pretty much wore huge cans on their heads with very thick metal plating on their chest, thighs, and shins...

Just like this...

I couldn't stop laughing when I saw it. It's the most bizarre thing any modern soldier could have worn on a battlefield.

Is that a Percussion cap musket, that the soldier is holding in his hand?

[TheBoberton]

I think they were going wrong making suits, a small but thick piece of armour over the vitals at the front would have probably saved thousands of lives.

I dunno about that. If it's light and cheap enough to have been issued to every soldier, I'd rather take my chances without it, because some asshole behind a desk somewhere decided 'That's just enough to stop a bullet, and still be cheap!'.

Although I imagine it would have prevented a lot of shrapnel injuries and deaths.

Springfield trapdoor rifle

Looks more like a watergun to me.

Something that would be cool for this mod would be being able to move while crouched , kinda like in arma .

There's an animation for that.

[Kammin]

Awesome , it should be in the mod then :3

[kpetschulat]

So, I found this very interesting picture...

We already have seen the grabbenpanzer for the German infantry, will we see the armor for the French and Commonwealth?

French armor experiments were mostly unsuccessful and used extremely rarely unlike like Grabbenpanzer. The British did have a few that were issued widely so it's very likely that we'll include an armored class for the UK when we start working on them.

Yeah, there were some attempts from the italian command to use medieval armors. Especially, i remember of a very famous action taken from a book of Emilio Lussu, "Un anno sull'altipiano - A year on the Plateau", referring to Asiago's one, main theatre of war in the italian front. I think they even made a movie out of it.

That's the exact movie I saw! Except it was dubbed in English.

Crouch walking would be immensely useful. I wouldn't even care about a prone if we had that. I do believe it was in BF.

[Hammerstout]

If I recall correctly the crouch walking was really buggy because the hit box was the same as when standing and bullets flying above you would still hit.

[Joseph Graham]

Limitations of the engine. There's not much that can be done about that without creating new hit boxes and reworking the animations + scripting.

I have 2 questions maybe one of you can answer

1) Will there be different classes e.g. inf, light and Skirmishers and if so how will there equipment be different will they lack grenades or not be allowed a machine gun?

2) will there be anything about artillery anytime soon or will that not be in for the first release?

I ask this as my regiment is trying to figure out a name and a type and so it would help knowing what they will use and what they shall not have  as we are signed up for at the moment as the 2ndRSR

sorry if these questions have already been asked i have not noticed them

thanks for your time

Well. If I can recall all infantry at the time was light. Your best bet would be to first decide which side you want to be on, then find a regiment or battalion that suit your groups play style. I.E say you wanted to be a German Stormtrooper battalion.
