Inspired by the Worldwar series by Harry Turtledove

The year is 1943 and the Earth is under siege. Hundreds of spacecraft have made landfall and established footholds across the globe. The invaders call themselves the Race. They are on a divine mission: To conquer the Earth and enslave its inhabitants, in the name of their Emperor. Their knowledge and manufacturing capabilities are several decades more advanced than human technology. However, they have never faced an enemy armed with more than pointy sticks. The nations of Earth, on the other hand, have been embroiled in total war for years.

This sounds like fun.
Ima check this out right now.

Let me know what you think of the mod! I'd like to know which weapons need more balancing, in particular.

It's based on the Worldwar series of novels. Basically, probes sent by an alien empire called the Race find Earth in the 1200s. The Race musters an invasion fleet, expecting an easy fight. They arrive in the 1940s and see that Humans have got tanks, planes and firearms as well, but decide to invade anyway. A few chapters into the book, it's made clear that the Race only has 21st century technology, not including the spaceships. To answer your question, it's both.

The Race has less accuracy than the human sides

Version 1 is now live. Includes 2 pistols and new HUD textures for all weapons.

edit: I've also decided on giving the Race a Napoleonic Grand Armée theme.

This is coming along nicely.
Especially liking those hud icons.

Balance seems ok too, but I'm not sure I got to test all the different weapons yet. Pistols might be a bit OP.

Also while testing I happened upon this nice little anomaly.

Seems like alien tampering to me!

i gotta say, wacky huds D. i actually raise hat to you fuggets because you have pretty well done pistol in this mod, other mods havent succeeded on that quite well except this mod, ill ask at the same may i use dat pistol animations? would easy up my work alot and i could focus more on the stats and model and hud.
