Chinese soldiers using german models as of now.

I suppose we can count on at least the HE-111 finished, Vuorma?
And no Italian armor in open beta ?
So what will Germany use as a heavy bomber?

In the initial release? Depends if you want a open beta teaser/trailer or the HE-111.
And the italian armor has always been planned to be added if we had enough space, which I think we do not if we'll have to add a chinese soldier model too..
What is the current MB count of the map, (down to the last byte)?
7,01 MB (7 354 966 byte) when optimized over here, not sure if Fin has added something since tho.
Yeah but I think they wanted to add officers and flamethrowers to the allies as well, not to mention that Germans and Italians don't have them too.

We will also use some other stuff like the widgetizer to remove unused unit data sheets, and squshers, compressers and so on. Still, we can't go at exactly 8mb, i'd say somewhere around 7.9 would be max. Flamethrower variants require 100kb EACH in actual space, maybe 30-40 compressed, so it is a tight squeese, not counting the german bomber model.
Anyways, i also thought, and i think this was up for discussion earlier: do you think maybe we could have different untis for other nations instead of the flamer? Say, if one unit had mortar teams (that as i also once suggested, could fire smoke rounds that causes all affected infantry to dodge 50% of incoming attacks), or maybe medics that greately increases the life regen of nearby units (or maybe has an active heal)?
I'm just rabbling, but let me know what you think about this.. on the one hand the flamer has an important role to fill (low-cost anti building infantry) and besides, it would be cool to have some variation?
Basicly most of these ideas could be done by using attachments of course, so every side could use medics/flamethrowers etc.
Chinese Soldier > Italian Armor!
Remember to use MDX Squisher, and you can optimze your textures by opening them in Magos and saving them with a quality of 60%-80%. 70%-80% doesn't seem to harm the quality at all, and 60% is minor.
And optimizing the map will also reduce the filesize.
P.S: JU88 for filesize's sake! (They look very similar in my eyes, either way.)
Russian Spetsnaz snipers go go?
They want the texture to be different so that the units could be recognized at first glance, I suppose?

......
I don't really understand that. Infantry take more space than armor (1 soldier == 2 tanks) and Italy was a more prominent faction in WW2.

Finally, i think the choice between HE and JU is pretty damn hard; HE111 got all the good looks but JU-87 was used by all nations that will have it in the game. I have no idea which one to pick.
China participated by getting their asses kicked.
Actually, much worse (in terms of population lost, amount of land lost in square miles, military lost, natural resources lost, enemies killed).

Don't get me wrong but Italy didn't do that much during whole war... that's at least my opinion. Perhaps Chinese front wasn't as spectacular as any other but well, that is something new to most people who are not aware that China fought as well.
To be honest I think that JU-87 is more common, I've heard about it so many times that it convinced me that it was one of most common bombers ever used lol.
why don't you give to british solders sten II,bag,red hat to get a british soldier look.
Because they didn't raise hands up.
Definitely an accurate statement, Italy folded as soon as American boots hit the sand.

I wanted to give british soldiers a red hat like the one those guys have, but Vuorma thought it would look like they were all officers. Instead they got the tommy helmet.
Sten is so minor you would propably not notice, but yeah, i could fix that. Minimum space requirement anyways.
As far as I know they even lost against African people armed with spears.
Until they scared them off with tanks.
Not to mention that ridiculous fail in Alpines where they failed badly even with huge amount of men advantage.
Im not really up for flame wars now and I don't want to start them. But you just have to admit the fact that Italy wasn't really helpfull, it looked like they were pretending to do anything so Germans would be pleased and give them some nice gifts... Yet, in my opinion, Finland was more usefull.
But you are right, it is official that Italy was pretty important for Axis.
Sorry about that mistake with junkers and stuka, it was kinda late and I didn't think about that while posting.
We are just waiting for Spinnaker to fix some of the bugs in the map. I hope he will be ready by tomorrow afternoon so that i can make final preparations. I am also gonna work on some nexs posts for ModDB and the homepage.
better be out by saturday or sunday SL4v3
funny i wonder how mw3 is going to spell Canada. ?C4N4D4? but that'll neeed mw4.
so the release date is this sunday right?
Just asking because i hate to read old posts.
We are trying our best to make that happen, yes.
