German Support Units

[Zess]

It is necessary to slightly fix the support bracket.
In the case of my model, it is hidden behind a shield and its movements are not so noticeable.
Hm
I think I should try to make alternative triggers - which were in reality, and not those that I originally did.

UPD.
Made an updated version: I think, the attack animation now looks better, because the soldier no longer rests his face on the triggers.
Also now MG has a bit more place for ammo and ironsight.

Will the French and Americans also use a Maxim-style Heavy Machinegun or will you swap it out for the Hotchkiss Machinegun?

the americans had m1917 MG which looks extremely similiar to maxim MG, so no need for weapon swap i guess

Perhaps but the gun was used mostly in the last months of the great war, as with most American kit during the great war. There were many pieces of American equipment that was slated for use in 1919, only for the war to end in November 1918. American soldiers, for the most part, used British and French kit.

I do intend to have the Americans use the French MG during WWI and the Maxim during WWII

The chauchat MG? but what animations are they gonna use? will they be also wheeled?

 

[Anglo Warior]

That's better(you mean chauchat?) but what animations are they gonna use? will they be also wheeled?

I don't think its be terribly odd to have the Hotchkiss machinegun on a wheeled mounting. I've only found pictures of it on tripods, but I've also seen maxim-pattern machine guns of tripods.

Good work on the German HMG (WW2)

 

[SonsOfSami]

You missed some triangles on the top of the tripod.

Spoiler: MG42

Also, one side of the MG is UV mapped differently from the other, is this intended?
If you want to go for a more historical accurate look, you should have based all HMGs, except the russians, on the WW2 one, instead of the wheeled MG, but it seems that what is done is done : (
If you want that, i can do it to save you time.
Anyway, well done!
Edit: the jaw is unanimated

 

[HerrDave]

Shiiiit! D:
One second

Also, yes, it is supposed to have a different wrap on one side (It weirded me out too)

Concept gun

 

[Hazop / Sarven]

What are the 2 semi circles on the sides of the WW1 HMG for?

I know it seems a bit off, but it was based on this:

Spoiler: MG 08 "Spandau"

Edit: Now its updated, and doesn't look weird and more close to the reference above

Ah, thanks for the clarification

 

[General Frank]

Works in-game, performs appropriately and is a good addition to the model section. Excellent work!

I think reloading animation for AT-infantry (exept british) need to place in attack animation (like wc3 mortar team), because "stand ready" animations between shots looks like he's endlessly reloading his grenade launcher. Perhaps I did not understand something, but I will still say it.

Everything else is cool. Pardon my english.

 

[HerrDave]

Hey Syczewski

The Stand Ready animation was built to look like a reloading animation, and to be short enough to still mix with basic attack delays in vanilla Warcraft 3

Technically speaking, it'd have been wiser of me to include the reload in the attack animation instead, but it's already part of the base animation skeleton, so I probably won't be changing it, or at least not any time soon since I'm behind

Love it, allows me to imagine new games to make.
