I guess you've seen Enemy At the Gates then? Great film, but according to our guys, not totally historical.

Looks like a good mod, but i kind find much of the art work. Any links?
Great film? One of the worst productions ever, sorry. Totally unrealistic Hollywood production and one more thing I can't stand is when German or Russian troops speak English.

They speak English so people know what they are saying. Personally, i don't like subtitles. Most people would rather watch and enjoy the film rather than read the subtitles.

You do have a point. But every country that isn't English speaking has to live with those subtitles anyway. Great work on this mod btw. I feel I have complained enough. hehe

This is interesting:
The Red Army used several types of body armour, including the SN-42 ( "Stalynoi Nagrudnik" is Russian for "steel breastplate", and the number denotes the design year). All were tested, but only the SN-42 was put in production. It consisted of two pressed steel plates that protected the front torso and groin. The plates were 2 mm thick and weighed 3.5 kg (7.7 Lbs.). This armor was supplied to SHISBr (assault engineers) and to Tankodesantniki (infantry that rode on tanks) of some tank brigades. The SN armor protected wearers from the German MP-40 9 mm bullet at around 100-125 meters, which made it useful in urban battles (Stalingrad). However, the SN's weight made it impractical for infantry on foot in an open outdoor setting.

Yes, the Russians did produce some body armour during the war problem is it just isn't that common and at CoH ranges that effect is almost negligible. Unless we go totally realistic on things and redo all the German parameters at the same time.

in this forum i have herad allot about partisans and i like the idea and i think it would be usefull if they were like the PE falschirmsjäger that they can come out from buildings anywere on the map (pre-battle infiltration) it would make it realy good, besides allies have no counter prt to the germans falschirmsjägers so i would be a good balance.
