Forged in Europe

[brazen oak]

Forged in Europe, now with 82% less crashes

[magic cypress]

Great work 🫡

Is this available for install currently?

[brazen oak]

Yes it is

[magic cypress]

dope

[brazen oak]

It's back under heavy development after a few month hiatus

[magic cypress]

All good man. Glad to see your name back around here. Love the work you do 🙌

[brazen oak]

My pleasure! Thank you!

[sage sail]

@fading vector

[plush cape]

Will any of this be released as standalone mods?

[brazen oak]

After the content is in a more sustainable, and functional state, I'll release them as modules. I originally released it this way, and consolidated everything into 1 at the behest of the community.

[plush cape]

Sweet

[sullen jetty]

is it still laggy as hell

[rare mountain]

It would be nice if this worked but all it does is crash peoples games

[sullen jetty]

yea

[brazen oak]

The recent updates have helped a lot with the stability

[austere summit]

from what I've tested all the Sherman's crash the game. the other vehicles are pretty nice but they are jank, same with the weapons and characters. the mod has tons of potential tho am exited to see where it goes

[brazen oak]

New objective coming soon

[fervent flume]

What did the newest update add

[wicked raft]

I didnt test yet but thank you for the work

[brazen oak]

Getting reports it fixed the tank spawning issue in GM mode

[fervent flume]

Are you going to add groups for the Germans ever

[brazen oak]

Yes, but first a panzerfaust or panzershrek for AT and a machine gunner

[shadow burrow]

I like what I see here!

[brazen oak]

Next update should include a new faction. I've heard that most of the crashing has stopped with recent fixes, which primarily occurred on consoles.

[fervent flume]

When is it dropping and what’s the new faction

[brazen oak]

Should be out this Thursday

[fading vector]

Got a tease of the new faction? @brazen oak

[brazen oak]

Hopefully by this afternoon!

[fading vector]

Can’t wait to see it!

[brazen oak]

Sneak Peak:

[silent mason]

War thunder imports 👀

[brazen oak]

Definitely not, get out of here with those types of harmful accusations

[silent mason]

Idk how that’s a harmful accusation 💀

[brazen oak]

Insinuating I'm using stolen content is harmful

[silent mason]

World of tank imports 💀💀

[silent mason]

You modeled a puma body with a 23mm anti air cannon that is identical to the war thunder one??

👀

[brazen oak]

I'll take that as a compliment

[silent mason]

Did you model them or take them from online?

[brazen oak]

I modeled it

[silent mason]

Glad somebody else appreciates the kfz 243/1

[brazen oak]

There will be more 234s as well

[silent mason]

Why’d you model a jeep that is already in the game 💀

[brazen oak]

It's an earlier version

[silent mason]

I mean you do you lmao

[austere summit]

because yes definitely warthunder invented the puma chassis

[silent mason]

Nah it’s just such a rare vehicle even large games don’t have the /1 variant of the puma

Only plays I’ve ever seen it was on war thunder and maybe a mod on a very old game

So if you read what I said a puma chassis with a 23mm auto cannon and mg

[austere summit]

kinda, but saying someone is using ripped assets is something really serious. these accusations could even lead to the mod being taken down.

[silent mason]

It won’t get taken down if they have proof they made it lmao

All I was doing was pointing out it looked like war thunder imports

[austere summit]

the equivalent of saying "is that the guy from Fortnite"

[silent mason]

Not really, especially since the model looks so identical

But he said he made it so there isn’t a problem. 🎉

[sage sail]

Will the Allied have an equivalent? This model looks great!

[brazen oak]

The Allied will have the British, which certainly isn't equivalent to SS in function, but equivalent as another playable faction. It will be some time before the British are added though

[mental plover]

AI?

[mental plover]

Oh fck yeah

This mod can go somewhere

[rare mountain]

I love how the tanks don't spawn in

[brazen oak]

Are you on Xbox?

[urban adder]

Just checked on console the tanks don't spawn but the 243 does

I think it maybe a mods conflicting as I've disabled all my mods apart from this one and now it spawns in

[brazen oak]

If you have the kubel wagon or any of pingus mods, they conflict with mine

[rare mountain]

The tanks went from crashing my game to not spawning the true arma experience

[brazen oak]

Update 0.0.53:
Fixed tank compatability issue which should fix tank spawning on consoles
Fixed 8mm Mauser ballastic properties
Increased some larger caliber gun reload times
Added .30 Cal carbine ammo type
Added M1 Carbine
Added SS Faction (Still a work in progress)
Removed PzKwIV hull gunner position to prevent crashing, will fix at later date
Fixed muzzle effects for various large caliber guns
Recreated semi-auto rifle animations for future compliance
Retextured various small arms

There are probably additional changes that I forgot to add to the list

[urban adder]

Look forward to checking out the update when I get home, keep up the good work dude🤙🏼

[narrow shard]

The M151 is completely different to the Willys.

[silent mason]

Really?

[narrow shard]

Yeah, just google it.

[urban adder]

I've known a few people to convert m151s to look like ww2 willys Jeeps they aren't that different

[silent mason]

👀

[brazen oak]

Hoping to get some feedback if the console users are able to spawn tanks now?

[flat compass]

Cant wait for more content been dieing see more ww2 but for some reason the mods pack wont work 🙃 keep loading saying error tank?

[brazen oak]

Error tank? That's a new one

Sneak peak

[urban adder]

Oohh that's looking like a panzer II

I found I could spawn tanks but there seems to be some sliding when in the driver's seat.
I noticed the BAR is broken like the hole animation when holding it and I also noticed that lovely carbine rifle really good job on that it's looks awesome, works great 👍🏻

[brazen oak]

Sweet thanks for the update. I've been doing a lot of fixing of broken things, as well asntrying to add new things the community has requested. Hopefully the bugs will dwindle faster than I can add new content

I'm also updating existing assets as i learn more about modeling and texturing and the Enfusion engine

[urban adder]

Yeah the tank models are decent, the interiors look awesome they just need some fine tuning 👌🏼 I will take another look today and let you know if notice anything else.

[urban adder]

I've noticed that the mg42 animation like the way the ai hold the gun are a bit off and it's when firing its shooting towards the ground, I don't know if it would be possible to base it around an exsiting animation like the m60?

The ss uniforms look good but I've gotta ask what's with the double ss runes, also the the m36 tunic with blank runes and chest eagle I'm guessing just place holder for now?

Tanks seem to drive nicer now they are not so bouncy the view in 3rd person does seems abit far away but all in all working fine.

Animation for BAR seems to be all good bow.

Hope this helps 👍🏻

[brazen oak]

Thanks for the feedback, I'm always working on the models, as I'm still learning and finding new references

[brazen oak]

Ya i only noticed the mg42 last night, not sure how that happened. It was one of my earlier creations and needs and update along with quite a few other weapons. I'm initially trying to increase the breadth of assets available, and then doing more tuning, so a lot of stuff starts very broken, and will be fixed as it's brought to my attention.

The collar emblems are temporary as i am building a rank system that will support different materials.

But this is much appreciated feedback, thanks again!

[urban adder]

Man I just appreciate the amount of time and effort that goes into creating mods I take my hat off to any that does it

[brazen oak]

Its been a fun few thousand hours

[urban adder]

Yeah that makes sense to do it that way and I thought that might be the case with the uniforms haha

[urban adder]

I can only imagine lol

[urban adder]

Looking good dude I will give her a test at some point 🔥🔥🤙🏼

[brazen oak]

I finally figured out what I was doing wrong causing a lot of vehicles to drive super derpy, so that's fixed now

[rare mountain]

https://tenor.com/view/christmas-miracle-story-time-daydreaming-blinking-gif-15685661

[brazen oak]

Now with working Opel Blitz and better functioning wheels!

[sage sail]

Now put a cannon on the back >:))

[brazen oak]

Armed versions, a tarp, and high side version is coming as well

[vernal oracle]

fuckin hated that thing in war thunder

[brazen oak]

Say hello to Jerry, he'll be your tour guide today:

[sage sail]

Is that a new uniform?

[brazen oak]

This is the M43 Uniform

It'll be in next weeks update

[median solstice]

Will it be smoothed out

[sage sail]

Looks pretty smooth lmao. Think it needs more of a clothing textures

[median solstice]

Yeaa

[brazen oak]

There's not currently a way to properly render the wool with a diffused fuzzy look

[median solstice]

How did overlord get it to be more textured

[brazen oak]

They're just better at it than i am

[elder silo]

Are you guys working with them or are you guys just working on your own project?

[brazen oak]

We have separate projects. Fundamentally, Forged in Europe is supposed to focus on tanks and armored vehicles, but there were overwhelming requests for uniforms, factions, small arms, etc, so I incorporated that. With Operation Overlords release of their weapons, uniforms etc, I'll be able to narrow down my focus back to developing tanks

[elder silo]

Oh okay you think you can do planes?

[brazen oak]

Planes are my favorite, but that will be another mod I'll release when there is official fixed wing support

[elder silo]

Oh okay keep up the good work

[brazen oak]

Thank you! I always appreciate positive feedback 🙂

[elder silo]

Your welcome excited for this project

[rare mountain]

Think they said there wouldn't be any fixed wing aircraft

[plush cape]

Nope. They said they won't focus on them

[brazen oak]

I'm expecting it to moreso be towards Arma 4, but it's taken forever to learn how this all works. I have a lot of aircraft already models, whereas it's taken most of the time to model the interior of the tanks

I did publish a new update today with some further development, visually, and gameplay wise. I'm going to try to get a server going, but it's not something I've really tried to do yet

[rare mountain]

@brazen oak you should ask the guy who made the a10 warthog for some help with planes and stuff cough cough and ww2 helicopters cough cough

Up to you tho couldn't hurt to ask

[brazen oak]

Ya, i would have to use his mod as a dependency, which i would rather not do, especially because I'm still deep in vehicle development

[polar bloom]

Ww2 helicopters? What?

[urban adder]

Look up the fa 223 drache

[plush cape]

Prototype

The R-4 wasn't though

[polar bloom]

Yeah nah there were like five made iirc, hardly enough to really be relevant I'd say

[rare mountain]

But ww2 helicopters

[brazen oak]

I'm currently still trying to get the existing content in a stable and aestheticly pleasing state. Helicopters are probably last on the list unfortunately, unless i get a weird helicopter itch

[plush cape]

Neither. They weren't that relevant until like Vietnam maybe Korea?

[polar bloom]

They were in use in Korea, yeah, also then used by France in Algeria

[plush cape]

So like 56 and onwards

[icy summit]

Damn I ain't seen any servers run this mod
I don't even know this mod existed till now

[lyric pebble]

Korean War would be a wild time on refoger

[umbral shell]

Have you ever thought about doing a WWI mod like this?

[brazen oak]

Coming Soon:

[urban adder]

250?

[brazen oak]

Indeed

[sullen jetty]

Will it have a mg-34 mg-42

[brazen oak]

Yes

[elder citrus]

Is there an everon GM scenario?

[brazen oak]

Not currently

[delicate saddle]

For some reason I am having trouble spawning in the M4A2s, the game says that they require more than max budget to place.

[mental plover]

Delicious

[wicked raft]

Mod dies ?

[rocky knoll]

been dead for long time now

[rare mountain]

My guy this mod always sucked balls

[crimson moat]

Nah nah he’s the og for ww2 mods on reforger Also a one man army I’m pretty sure

[upbeat crown]

@brazen oak I have a quick question, when we place down the tanks they don’t have barrels, and the PII you can’t place it just disappears, any help would be appreciated, thank you In advance 🫡
