United Front News Post 1: The Opening of the Ost Front
Quote
Welcome to our first public update for the United Front minimod. First I would like to tell you a little about our team. The mission of this mod is to produce materials for Fh2 for the use of the community. We are not concentrating on just one front, but we already have assets in place for the Russian Front, the Japanese Front, and also some miscellaneous fronts such as the Spanish civil war . As such our team is diverse in its make up; Our team is not only currently made up of World at War members such as Frodo, Kommisar, and Paasky, but we reached out to the Forgotten Hope community as a whole and received  two very valuable assets in the form of Kratzer and Jurgen[Rata], who have donated models and textures. We would also like to thank specifically Gunny and Sir Apple for all of their help thus far, which has helped us out tremendously.

To show you we are not kidding around our first update is something we are very proud of, the TB-3. The Model is by Paasky. The final textures [which these are a place holder] are almost complete, but this plane is in fact in game and works.


The TB-3 is a Russian heavy bomber aircraft that provided a myriad of duties, these duties include paradrops, bombing, transports, and even as a fighter mother-ship in a special Russian project named Zveno. Its armament as a  bomber will include three defensive dual DShK machine guns and its bomb load out will hold up to 4,000 Kgs of bombs. We at United Front  will try to recreate all of the duties this multirole aircraft had.

That is all the updates for today, but by far not all that we have. Our goal is to update in a consistent manner to keep your interest in our little project, expect an update in one week from now.

Would you like to help us out with anything such as donating items or working for the team itself? We need animation guys, texture artists, modelers, mappers, programmers, exporters, video guys, photoshop guys, sound guys, etc. If you believe you have anything to offer, at any skill level please contact Paasky via PM or email peksoft@mbnet.fi with the subject United Front Jobs.

A minimod, aka parasite? I'd imagine the purpose is to try and achieve to become officially part of FH2 instead of being a minimod that requires FH2?

Flippy don't be so hostile. The guys are porting old stuff and try to code new stuff. Perhaps it will turn out some skilled helpers.

cool  

Is it the same plane that has been posted in this map made by you?



I also found in older threads about converting 0.7->2.2 catapult code this picture of the plane



just a minor detail to improve  :P You should make something for the planes that look like they are flying next to it...

We'll be the I-16 to your TB-3 <3

Basically the same concept as FHSW: Get the stuff that isn't top notch quality (like FH2) or what the FH2 devs don't want/have time to do. So while FH2 has certain goals that need to be met, we can work on whatever comes to mind ;)

Samnadine: Yes, those pictures are of the same plane. Just in early stages of development.

Good luck to you all.

But why don´t you focus on one front at time? I think this would add much more value to the minimod, specially if you focus on not so famous armies and battles. The Spanish civil war, in wich you are already working, is a perfect example.

When you make one for us :D


But seriously, any help is appreciated. Even if it's just a few models of wooden cottages.
