Part III - Gearing Up for Soviet Victory

In our series on the WW2 Eastern Front theatre development for PR:BF2 we also saw in Part I and Part II that the amount of new content in this update will be massive. In this third article, we want to show you some of the new additions the infantry can expect to use on the new battlefields. But before we show off the goodies, we want to reach out to our fantastic community for a bit of assistance. As our development continues, so do the server costs. Your generous donations will help keep our servers running smoothly. So if you can, please donate today. Every bit helps, and we're immensely grateful for your continued support!

Soldiers & Kits

The soviet soldier and kit models were generously given to us by the Battlegroup Frontlines modding team and reworked heavily by our team to have a better variety of equipment, LODs, and textures. The Wehrmacht will also be given some warmer winter clothes for some of the new maps.

Weapons

And of course, we also have some new toys for the infantry when we introduce this new faction to the game. From the rifleman's Mosin-Nagant 91/30 (By Mr.Rifleman) and the sniper's variant with the PU scope, to the SVT-40 semi-automatic rifle and PPD-40 submachine-gun (by AtTheSpeedOf) for the breacher and officers on the team to the PTRS-41 anti-tank rifle (model by PotatoLord) of the rifleman-AT class. And some new grenades to throw around are also introduced. The Pomz AP and RPG-43 AT grenades are originally made by the BKF and Battlegroup Frontlines modding teams respectively. And while these renders below show the excellent modeling and texture work of the artists, we cannot wait until you see the effort that went into their animations, and sounds as well!

So how about the Bolt-Action AT Rifle?

By the way, what's the difference between this Mosin-Nagant and the one in ARVN's hands(Or NVA in PR)?

Hopefully we will be able to add the PTRD-41 when the art team finds time, for the early maps.

That is the m38 (shortened, different bayonet etc) carbine version of the mosin shown here. We hope to eventually replace the current mosin models with new ones.
