Infantry approximations

[Leon_Portier]

If I would have infantry in a TC mission, with only American and British units available in the editor - could you see yourself playing scenarios where the russian infantry is approximated to british and american to german?

Probably not.

Hmm those "russian" soldiers look barely british at combat distance, eh?

You mean those British soldiers barely look Russian at any distance..?

Well, suggestions?

I think we'll just have to hang tight while they do us some German and Russian infantrymen. Playing on AAS with the US infantry standing in for Jerry is a little uncomfortable.

In some of my missions I'm using the light German guns to represent smaller targets for allied tankers.

Thats pretty good, unfortunately the guns can't move. I don't think too that the devs will ever make german and russian infantry, if the current infantry models are unused, since they've been asked to make those infantry for 2 years by now. I think I'm gonna do it like on AAS, so I can put the infantry assault into my mission instead of having none.

The infantry have been in the game for less than a year. I'm just going to wait until they add the rest.

Good that you are telling me, I had no idea! Well, since I'm already in the middle of having the mission made, I'm going to keep my stopgap solution and just upgrade the models whenever the german and russian one long term arrive.

I'm trying to promote this request again. If you have a minute, please add your support to the effort.

 

 

In the Q&A video they just released they addressed the question only from the perspective of why they did it for Normandy (The Priller Mission).  They then talked about how important it will be for the new Korea Sim when it is released, and all the variations of Infantry type targets they're planning to have. Somehow the importance of this simple enhancement (Russian and German AI Infantry Squads) for Tank Crew didn't occur to them.
