Latest Statics Ingame
| MP40 SMG Ingame | Want to join the team?
Welcome to another update! Our static modelers
are working at a great pace and we have a bunch more to show off
this week, this time from both Smig and [BG]Geronimo|Ger. The
scenes, as usual, were made by Benseras. We also have another
firearm to show off.
Latest Statics Ingame
First up, we have some large crates. You can expect to see these
liberally sprinkled throughout our maps.
Next up is a lumber pile, an individual
log, and some small boxes. All will make great cover to lie prone
behind and give someone a nasty surprise.
Also we have the bane of all tank drivers,
and friend to the infantry: Dragon's Teeth. Expect to see these
at strategic crossroads to slow down tanks and other ground vehicles,
helping give infantry a fighting chance.
MP40 SMG Ingame
Last, but certainly not least, we have a new firearm ingame that
has its own custom animations and sounds, the MP-40! Some historical
data about the MP-40:
Maschinenpistole 40
Caliber: 9mm
Length: 32.75in (832mm) stock extended
Weight: 9lb (4.14kg)
Barrel: Six grooves, right hand twist
Feed System: 32 round box magazine
System of Operation: Blowback
Rate of Fire: 500 RPM
Muzzle Velocity: 365 MPS
In 1938 the German Army issued specifications
for a new submachine gun using battlefield experience gained during
the Spanish Civil War. The groundbreaking design known as the
MP38 had no wood anywhere in its construction and had a folding
stock. Beneath the barrel was a U shaped bump that prevented damage
to the barrel when firing through the gun port of an armoured
vehicle and also prevented the gun from being accidentally pulled
inside while shooting if the soldier lost his footing. It was
a great success though they needed a weapon easier to mass produce.
The MP38 was redesigned to make maximum use of stampings and welded
parts. The primary changes were that the body was now made from
a stamped sheet of steel, formed and welded; the magazine housing
was now ribbed; and the body top was now plain instead of ribbed.
The new MP40 was ready to replace the MP38 as the standard submachine
gun.
Want to join the team?
We are still looking for all kinds of talented modders to join
our team, especially vehicle skinners and sound engineers, as
we have a lot of vehicles waiting to be skinned and weapons waiting
for new sounds. As you can see our static modelers are getting
many rural statics done, but we'd like to expand to urban battles,
so we are going to need several more static modelers/unwrappers/skinners
as urban battles will require many more objects. If you are interested,
