Mod Request: Infantry mods to extend what we have.

[PatrickAWlson]

German infantry is the most critical item lacking.  Russian infantry would also be good, as would WWI infantry.  Any talented modders out there that can 3d model and skin these guys based on what is already in the game?

I tried to find a back-door way to do this but it would take program support from 1C to make it happen properly.

Current infantry in 2 additional colours would be enough to get by.

I'm talking devs doing it.

I know it's often easy said.. but surely that wouldn't take long to do.

Honestly yeah. At the end of the day this is a flightsim and we don't need super detailed infantry models. Copy paste the Infantry, paint em grey, and boom. Germans.

This is the most desperate need in this tank sim. Its  a sin it isn't there. It reminds me of Panzer commander, a solid sim but instead of infantry they got lazy and just added bunkers. This is the main reason I always find myself going back to Steel fury with mods. It surpasses this sim in almost every aspect except graphics which Id gladly sacraifice for infantry.

 

There is just so much more immersion in steel Fury that is lacking in IL-2 ground wars. The Ai and pahfinding is also way smarter in SF.

 

Its just sad to see T-34s with no infantry support hanging off them that can dismount and engage. Same for the dangers of infantry assualting armor with AT weapons, molotovs, and grenades. It just makes this feel very bland and unfinished. Even Panzer Elite decades ago had all this even though the infantry was basically 2D , they still contributed to the battle around you.

 

It can totally be done if the Il-2 team wanted to, they know a huge group of people have wanted it here and on steam. I just feel like they dont think its important and ignore the community. They just focus on more marks of payware planes. Hell Id pay for infantry if  they made it a priority and charged for it.

Tank Crew obviously being harder hit by the lack of more diverse machine-gun nests/firing positions and anti-tank teams

 

But I agree - a reskin would work well. We also need them for Flying Circus (ground fire from infantry being a significant issue in WWI, as well as exposed infantry representing targets).
