Desert Rats (Africa mod)

[RandomPerson78642]

Due to lack of contributors we have to close down.

I know I tried to remain optimistic at first, but at this point there's just no way. ALL of our 3D artists quit, the others are far too busy, and honestly I've personally lost interest a while ago.



Sorry for the dissapointment folks, but there's just not enough time and not enough manpower.

Hmmmm, interesting

 

[Dumpfires]

Finally! I'm really looking forward to it.

Wasnt there a Lee Enfield in the game files somewhere? You might wanna use that.

wasn't HotW working on the british in normandy?

 

[Dziga Vertov]

Well they got Western front uniforms only i think.

There's an select icon for the Grease Gun, but no Enfield.

For now I'll use the Mosin Nagant as a placeholder for the Enfield, the Type 100 as a placeholder for the Sten, and the Type 96 as a placeholder for the Bren.

Awesomeness!

Yes HoW is working on the British. However, voice pack needs to be different for an Afrika Korps vs Desert Rats. Can't be yelling something about France.

As I said before, if you are interested I can provide a German voice for the Afrika Korps.

 

[RandomPerson78642]

Custom voices would be lovely, but for now the stock German/American will have to do.

Looks like a lot of stuff needs to be done, before this is finished?
Have you renamed, and modified the coding for the weapons, ie making a enfield using the mosin nagant model?
(probably the only thing you can do atm.)
Look forward to seeing what becomes of this, still seems like a lot of work is still ahead.

That's what I was going to do next.

This is really a good time for RO2 modding!

The British BD uniform was used in Africa. But yes it was mostly the KD uniform.

Sten also was barely used in Africa. In Africa british rifle sections were similar to American rifle squads. Squad leader with a Thompson, a Bren gun LMG (replaces BAR) and the rest rifles. Size of 10 rather than 12 though.

It wasn't really until 1942 when the sten started becoming available in large numbers in Africa. Didn't perform very well in sandy conditions lol. Misfired at bad times too. Like the assasination of Reinhard Heydrich. One assasin steps infront of his car and pulls the trigger only to have the gun misfire. A second assassin chucked a grenade in the car.

Can't really have misfires in the game though.

So Enfield is the only weapon needed to be created?Bren and Jap LMGs are about the same anyway.

Think the enfield was part of the extras given by Tripwire / AMG

Wish they'd give us all the extras
