Documentaries usually come with comments that ruin everything... reconstitutions are a good idea, any lead on where to find some ? I already searched YouTube for hours but didn't find anything interesting. Perharps I wasn't using the right keywords.

Thanks Kashchei too, by the way. I need them in german ; I already got some great "Tally Ho !" from Battle of Britain, but none of the germans evers yells "Horrido", unfortunately. Maybe it's just another historical cliché, but it really kicks ass, so I'll keep looking around with the ideas you gave me.

Ok... I'm slowly walking away now... keeping my hands over my head... without any quick move...
Thanks for the film, Killar, I'll start watching it right now. Where does it come from, by the way ?

Hi there,
I'm part of a team working on a modern warfare-based mod, and we're looking for voice-acting, namely for luftwaffe fighters. Do any of you guys would know of a movie featuring luftwaffe pilots yelling "Horrido", or any other badass battle cry, that I could download and rip ?
Thanks !

You mean, with exactly the same abilities, but just a different skin ?

Still not a fan of these rare weapons compared to good ol' Mosin-Nagan or PPSh, but that's not the main point anyway...
Limiting them to 3 seems a little odd, given that they were quite common on the battlefield, and Guards are not limited in number. Also, without retreat, every pinned squad can be considered lost, and limiting them to 3 for the whole game seems a little harsh.
Returning to the very core of the question : are we talking about an off-map reinforcement ? A buildable unit ? Short, or long-ranged ? Offensive, or defensive ?
I personaly stand for an off-map unit, with assorted long-range weapons, and tough defensive soldiers.

Thanks. I read that production of these "exotic" weapons such as the AVS-36 or the Fedorov Avtomat was stopped by 1941... plus, I think I read somewhere on the old Eastern Front ModDB page, that creating a new weapon model is really a lot of hard work.
How about going unusual and having a short-range defensive unit, particularly well-suited for warfare in dense battle environments ? Zeal - AT Molotov Cocktails - PPSh ?

I think the above screenshot is drawn from the World Builder, there is a skin there for Marines too, they are wearing field uniform, which is more realistic, but really less beautiful, alas. I prefer the black one.
I wasn't talking about adding all these abilities to the standard Guard, but about a full replacement : no fire-up, no resistance to suppression... SVT-40 should definitely be an upgrade, with Mosin-Nagant being the basic equipment. Maybe once given the semi-automatic rifle, they could be able to shoot slowing-down volleys, like Panzergrenadiers with G-43 ? Just throwing up the idea, though.
They wouldn't match the KCH, by lack of automatic weapons and offensive abilities, but would be tough defensive units, fitting well with the propaganda doctrine (luckily enough, since the deeds of Naval Infantry were really an important part of war propaganda).

- Actually, their uniform was black but never mind - Well, maybe we could look at the archetype and see what to do with it : in soviet propaganda, they're usually associated with defense to the death and man against tank. How about anti-tank Molotov Cocktails (destroying engine, maybe), and a passive ability similar to the Wehrmacht Terror Doctrine "Zeal" : the more losses in the squad, the more resilient the survivors become ? They could be armed with rifles, either Mosin-Nagan, or SVT-40, maybe the second being an upgrade, and have grenades. This would eventually make a rather versatile defensive unit, keen on self-sacrifice. How about that ? EDIT : Just to support my words, a soviet propaganda poster featuring marines :

Well, yes, and a large one : North Sea Fleet, Baltic Fleet, Black Sea Fleet, Pacific Ocean Fleet. Although the surface ships themselves proved quite useless (with the exception of Baltic Fleet, whose naval artillery was key in the defence of Leningrad), the submarines did quite well ; actually, the most deadly naval catastrophe of all times was the sinking of the ship Wilhelm Gustoff by the soviet submarine S-13 in 1945, when almost 9400 people got killed ( mostly refugees). Anyway, Naval Infantry played a role in many land battles : Leningrad, Stalingrad, Sevastopol, Moscow (I think so)... There's kind of a dispute amongst historians about wether or not they were good fighters, but propaganda was quite enthusiastic about them, and most important : they had a hell of a style and a beautiful uniform ! EDIT : There, I found this one skin I was talking about :  There is some clipping around the ammo belts, but all in all, they look awesome.

Hi comrades,
I've been following the forums for a long time without intervening, mostly by lack of having something to say (beyond "great mod", of course), but I feel like someone is being unfairly forgotten here : where has Naval Infantry gone ?
There was once a topic about the opportunity of having them as a reward unit, replacing either Guards or Partisans (IMO, they should replace Guards), and someone even showed a terrific screenshot featuring a fully-skinned Black Sea Marine, in his distinctive black uniform with ammo belts. But since then (more than two months ago, I think), they've gone into oblivion, and this thread seems almost only about tanks.
So the aim of this modest contribution is just to remind people of their existence, because I think they would definitely fit in great on maps like Leningrad or Sevastopol, and there seems to be already a great skin ready for them, so I guess I wouldn't be too much work to implement them in any upcoming patch.
Thanks for reading me !
