hehe.. those hats look cool though, and almost every other nation is going to have a helmet, so we made the japanese look a little different.

[Mastermind]

Well, just wait and see then. You might be surprised.

[Godwin]

yes they wear those caps too, but they do have helmets, when they invaded china and stuff, but im drawing experience from movies (rape of nanking, thin red line, etc.), and in indochina/south east asia, they have those flaps behind the caps, local TV productions recounting the war always depict them as wearing those caps.... i was just rather amazed that they had no helmets, helmets sure make a soldier look different, more intimidating, tougher

[IndigoSpyder]

Are those new models? A little detail on their rifles will be nice. : ) How about some German troops?

Japenese infantry:

...getting mashed

[tanka]

Yeah, We were gonna have them fighting GIs, But we had a few problems. We'll try get some out though.

the rifles look a bit odd... I'm not to familiar with the small arms rifles of the japs during WWII, but I would think them to be smaller, made of as much wood as metal, and not look like modern assualt rifles... but the rest looks good in my opinion.

But like I said I don't know much about Japanesse weaponry during WWII, so don't flame me if I'm incorrect...

[Mongoose]

nar they were full metal.

[tanka]

They wern't full metal, Like he said, alot of the japanese rifles were mostly wood. This gun is a basic version of the type-99 LMG..

[Mongoose]

well i can see about %80 metal on there. if that mostlywood then WOW.

[trevor]

what the f**k are you talking about, the basic Japanese rifle was practicaly made of all wood, except for the barrel and the bolt pieces....80% metal, ya that gun...But what you said about all of their guns, thats just bullshit. Teh damn basic rifle was as tall as many soldiers, and taller than alot when the bayonet was added. It was a very ackward weapon.

Japenese Type-99.

That looks more wood than metal to me.

They are carrying a light machine gun, not that rifle. :rolo:

Mongoose was talking about the type-99 machine gun, not all of the Japanese weapons.

How about some German troops

They're working on it, just fixing up a few problems with bones

[Stino]

You were faster Daz

[IndigoSpyder]

Great! Hope you could put real emphasis on their helmets

[tanka]

They are wearing those caps, although they do seem a little big. The 'bullet proof vest' is actually a back-pack, although i can see why you are mistaken, as all the screenshots are taken from behind.

And the helmets..? shhh.. secret.. :tocol:

[Stino]

Look in screenshot section of site for more german infantry screens. http://tfh.game-mod.net

[Paranoid]

lookin' good.
