One of the major overhauls that Ostfront has gotten is that we've tried to give every vehicle a facelift wherever possible.

A lot of us didn't like the previous 'das panzerrust' look -- and we've tried to go for a cleaner look.

First up, the Jagdpanzer IVs.

Jagdpanzer IV (Late)


Jagdpanzer IV/70A


Jagdpanzer IV/70V

Flipped the last one around so you can see the engine deck clearer.

I can confidently predict that this one will be seeing far far more use than it ever did historically. [:D]


DAS MAUS.

Okay. This is the Panzer IV series. Fairly big ~1.1 MB JPG.

Linked so as not to murder people's bandwidth suddenly.

You can see how 95% of the Panzer IV Fleet has been totally facelifted with new textures which are less rusted up.

Very nice.

Those are some of the best models I've seen for a long time, I mean all of them on the site. Can't wait to see them all, wheels turning, rolling over the Steppes.

I never thought I'd see a Maus in any game, not sure what use the bloody thing would ever be in real life though! Aircraft target practice perhaps?

If an afv takes a track or wheel hit, that side wheels/track do not turn as the unit moves as a visual clue that the unit has damage.

Edit in addition to the HUD symbol for damage.

And wait, I am working to improve more the PzKpfw IV models from Ausf E to J... [;)]

As you might expect we have a scenario for the Maus. We did an extreme amount of research to locate it's last resting place the fate of the beast.

There are several versions of it's demise and we tried to clear up as much of that as possible.

Good Hunting.

Yep. And there's recoil and body-rock and destruction animations.

I have no talent but the team members that did all of the work are amazing.

Junk2drive did the sounds. Stereo spaced too.

They are much better than the previous.

And he did the drafts (better than that actually) for all the manuals with their extensive updates (over and over as new updates developed).

This is looking really cool.  I have not played any CM sense BF dorked up and stopped supporting what got them where they are, CM.  But, this sure looks a lot like it, and it sounds like it has some really good fectures....still fence sitting....I have too many Japs to kill playing "War in the Pacific:AE", but we'll see.

Guys, the more I read about this, the better it sounds.  So youve re-done all the models, and the sound.  I hate comparisons but the changes Im reading about, the screen shots Im seeing and everything else leads me to believe that this is following directly on from where the original CM games stopped.  With all of the improvements and changes that a lot of guys had suggested and wanted.
 
Knowing who a lot of the guys involved are and a tiny bit about their gaming backgrounds, this does not really surprise me.
 
I dont do much other then Moderate at a few gaming sites, but I shall spread the word for you, and if any of you need me to do anything at all for you, give me a shout.
 
I am definitely feeling that this may be the game for me to fill one of my voids - WW2 Eastfront.  Cant play CMBB any more since I lost my XP equipped laptop.

I am with you G, Matrix is trying to get all my money!
