Realism?
« on: April 02, 2012, 06:51:41 PM »
I was curious if the team was planning on modifying (NOT CHANGING) models, skins, sounds, etc to be more accurate. I'm not asking you to add swastikas onto all German units, more like change the camouflage and uniforms. This doesn't need to be a super realistic mod (Blitzkrieg and such already do that), but it would be nice to add some realism that doesn't change gameplay, though it improves immersion.

You can change skins on your units yourself. There are lots of skinpacks avaiable

If you mean, to modify vanilla factions uniforms to make them more accurate as official addition to EF, no we can't, because:

a) We are not going to implement massive changes to vanilla components, it is our policy.

b) If Eastern Front is laggy for some users, adding custom skins for every faction will make it unplayable for them.

c) At the moment we don't have time for this.

Maybe in the future, someone can make a "realism" skin pack for EF that doesn't cause conflict with the mod though ;).

Thanks Blackbishop. Also, anyone know of any skin, weapon, AND sound mods that work well? Yes I know there is a skin mod thread. I'm asking about more than just skins.
