Not fully ready yet, but should be out soon.
Finally we get to play against or as the Russians.


Methinks this may get me back into CoH when I get back my proper net connection all sorted out

It's been so long since I've played this game I will have to relearn how to play it.

In fact it's been so long since I've had a gaming computer I'll have to relearn a lot of things.

*le sigh* :surrender:

Nice 1 Woody, that looks pretty impressive. CoH has needed something new for a while now.

[Killerfurby6]

don't worry drayu all they do about that mod is posting things they are going to make!!
the thread about eastern front is allmost 2 years old and they never said something about a release date ... they are just spamming every coh related forum with their "advertisement"
in my opinion this mod will never be released!!... well maybe when i have a grandchild :P

[zilong]

the mod is out, and it's more or less unplayable. top 2v2 teams are being beaten in 1v2 by 1 decent soviet.

[Hellcat]

What's the problem, mostly balance?

[zilong]

more or less. 1v1 is impossible becuase you can have like 5 units out by the time the first mg or volks comes out. i think it's a bit better on team games, but it could use some work.

as a mod it's pretty well done, but it will need time to balance

Congrats on the grandchild Furby:woot::)

This mod needs some serious balance patches done to it, once you figure a few things out, like the capping speed of the Ingenery is the same as US rifles and you can have like 6-7 when the Wehr guy can only get a MG/Volks in the same time frame, you tend to not lose .....

Hey I'm having trouble downloading from the main site. Does anyone know of any mirrors?

[Toe]

Rabbid, this is where I downloaded my version.

Ahh thanks toe.... I finally have it now

Toe we have to meet up and coh it up some time mate

[StaticV]

I tried this a few weeks ago, it seems to hardlock coh every time the russians build a slit trench. also the russian tanks are really overpowered so one ISU at a time is a good improvement, but the IS-2 is still overpowered as well. =\
