Oh oh oh!!!!! I got the duck tape!

 - Not long ago, we discussed giving soviets a 'border guard'
 unit (1 max, can't be replaced, 0 build time unit). Nothing
 strong, Maybe an weaker engineer/conscript...
 
 How about we put soulless's face on it and name it
 'no soul' or something - With duct tape -
 He'll die quick (in-game)... and we can blame it on the axis!

On the other hand, you need space to put your (future) campaigns, you cant add new (`couse it`s hard coded)

Not True.

Right now, I'm working on a new campaign (not related to EF tho), without removing any of the previous ones.

[Loupblanc]

 Hey, Rizz
 Well, everyone here knows we have to remove old factions
 to install new ones. Removing Wehr and PE to install Soviets
 and OE, right?

 Personally, I wouldn't know if it's hard-coded or not, but it
 would definitively be preferably to add as opposed to replace
 .
 
 - New maps. God thank you for them not to have to be
 replaced
 - New factions : Read above
 - New Campaigns : Need I say more?

 Now all we need is to convince Relic to add 'em to
 forthcoming patches (As long as they are compatible
 to current way of doing things). (ie: Vanilla).

[Rikard Blixt]

No, no, no factions are removed for Soviets / OE.

There are only a few things that are hardcoded, both we found walk-around for most.

thanks I have seen that thing in Red Orchestra in the map "Arad" I call it the block of cheese the seven year old cut 

[Loupblanc]

 Don't laugh about the KV-2 :p
 My only regret is KV-2 made it into the game (It was
 phased out around 1941-42) and the KV-85 didn't :p
 (And the all-sexy KV-8). However... if you think the
 KV-2 looks like a block of cheese, look at this puppy

 It's called the Bishop Mk1
 
 The bottom is 1x KV2 + 2 bishop Mk1 for size comparison

[ford_prefect]

LOL I use the kv-2 in Red Orchestra its got a big cannon on it ill give the "Cheese" tank that

[BurroDiablo]

Bishop was tiny compared to the KV-2, but the Hull Size to Turret size ratio was a lot more ridiculous

KV-85 would be pretty pointless since we already have the much more common T-34/85 in. It was basically a stopgap tank between the KV-1 and IS tanks. It was already obsolete by the time it was fielded in late 1943 due to the emergance of Panthers and Tigers and production was cancelled in favour of the IS-2. I know its nice to see these rare tanks in action, but they are rare for a reason

That said, KV-2 serves its purpose in game, even if it was very rare.

[Loupblanc]

 - KV2 is a 152mm on a KV1 (Tiger)
 - Bishop is a 25pds on a Cromwell (Sherman)
 
 - I WANT to see Kv1 in-game :p How about in campaign?
 Replacing IS2
 - Well T34 was built in such huge numbers it IS the soviet
 tank Hope you make it so yummy in-game we'll all HAVE
 to overload on it
 - IS2 : Built by Kirov industries, it's thus by default the
 successor of the KV line Sorta.
 - KV2... ... WTF is it doing in-game? About as rare
 as King Tigers, obsolete, and outclassed by 1944+ I'm
 just about certain there were practically none left by then
 (Finnish killed 'em all)
 Gimme SU76 and ZSU37 and SU122 instead!

 SU122 would be a fairly awsome replacement choice, no?
 Not rare, right period, fairly common, and reloads faster
 Plus it's the ultra-common T34 hull

 But, yes, the KV2 is a fetish hull... so... meh
 (hint : So is the KV-1/85/8).
 - Why no Soviet flamethrowing tank? QQ

 * Yes, the KV-2 has a 152mm. That's a BIG cannon

 * What are chances of making the ISU152 into a hybrid
 puppy? Like I've beggeg/requested everywhere?

[bastex]

maybe im wrong wasnt this topic about the russian campain ?

i have some suggestions could we get the t35 in the start of the campain

but indeed kv2 is obsolete maybe put in the t35 instead

yes yes replace a crap tank whit an  other !

[luz777]

I actually really like the KV-2, dont really know why, just always thought it looked cool...in a weird not-actually-that-cool way.

Anyhow it'll be good for the early war campaign parts.
I think that reward units will be said early war units that will come when the campaign does.
