Tunic for the Heckenschütze got terrible colouration. Never exists in this way in WW2 for German army. Your skin maker watched too much "Enemy at the gates" I guess . Better and historicaly correct would be some camo like a Splinter smock with hood. The hood got a net to cover the face. That was what German snipers wore in the russian campaign.

And this is why we are playing a game not fighting a war, Caen.

He is supposed to look unique and the Devs choose to give him this particular tunic camo, so you can tell him apart from everybody else, plus he isn't a sniper, he is more of a Marksman than a Sniper, because he doesn't use a sniper rifle, he uses an MKb42 w/ scope to provide MID-CLOSE RANGE support, not long range support

[BurroDiablo]

The video has saturated his tunic a little so it seems much more luminous than it actually is. I am well aware the tunic isn't historically accurate and I don't really care, just like Relic didn't really care. It's very difficult to find uniforms that are different enough from the other factions to warrant making and since the Ostheer is an early-mid war faction we want to use as little camo as possible.

Also, there's nothing wrong with a little movie inspiration... game developers do it pretty much constantly...

You can't tell me that doesn't look like a screenshot from a freakishly realistic future Company of Heroes. Anyway, I digress.

CoD7: Shaving Private Ryan 

[Seeme]

CoD5 already did that

Whoa, looking at the image i thought,"Which map is this?" and then realisation dawned

[Sommarkatze]

I remember the HL1 mod DOD having that entire scen as a map. It was called Ramelle or something I think? Even the record player with that French song what its now called are there XD

I'd give the MG-34 a different sound that isnn't the 42's buzz, unless they really made similar firing sounds.

And what rifle does the Heckenschuzte (or whatever) have? What does Heckenschutze even mean? Hell-shooter?

First i must say: I LOVE this mod,great job dudes. about the MG34: I'm not sure but doesn't the Tiger have a hull-mounted MG34? i remember reading it in the tiger-ace campaign and i have to say that the sound of that gun is very similar,but not exactly the same as the MG42 HMG, so it's hard to hear a difference

@Lt.Gottlieb
IIRC we already have custom files for the MG-34, just that we didn't check them if were right or not before recording the video.

AFAIK CoH don't use MG34, hence no MG34 sounds but only MG42 ones.

ok i see. i know it's a little off-topic,but since we're at it, the Sd.Kfz 251 Halftrack of the wehr has two MG42, the one at the rear has the proper sound,the front one has a completely different one,any chances of changing that?

[BurroDiablo]

Yeah, I've always hated that, I'm sure we can change it.

The sound is different because the frontal MG is supposed to be a MG-34.
