I think his bolter would like a word with you. Perhaps it can change your mind? By scrambling it?

In all honesty though I agree

About the low kill chance: It makes charging into battle without any concern for safety more possible

I've already experienced this a few times now, very epic indeed!

Oh, and a minor suggestion:

I read you're looking to implement chainswords at some point.
A temporary 'fix' would be to simply change the currect THUNK melee sound to a very short chainsaw sound...

Okay, let's see if I can get all this in one go.


I agree about the Rhino, making a tank that handles well in RWR is beyond my skills. Some of the reload times are getting a bit shorter in the next update.


Like ComJak said, the white helms are supposed to be there. Once rank-specific models are a thing, only veterans will spawn with those. The the tank gun barrel issue seems worrying though. Are you sure it's a white color and not a flat gray?


The Space Wolves will be making an appearance with the next update. I've got a soldier model and ranks but the names haven't been added yet.


I really like the low kill chances since it makes battles last longer. In smaller battles, Instead of murdering a bunch of dudes, walking a bit, then murdering some more, you get a more protracted engagement where it feels like the enemy is being pushed back. Not to say this doesn't happen in vanilla, but that rarely happens in small battles. Moving from cover to cover or becomes less dangerous as well. And, like you mentioned, you can move in and stab the fuck out of them


I'm actually going to add a Power Sword in the next version. Charging into battle will be at least 10x more awesome! Unfortunately, remodeling the knives to chainswords doesn't really work and a chainsaw sound coming from a combat knife doesn't work in my opinion. I won't change the sound in the main mod but I'll upload a chainsword sound as an optional replacement.

I'll see if I can get a screenshot of the supposed tank barrel glitch.

Looking forward to the optional chainsaw sound and Space Wolves!

I have no clue if this would be of any use with melee weapons in this mod, but basically it's possible to have a weapon that you switch into, i.e. either primary or secondary weapon rather than the quick stab knife, that essentially has the same effect as stabbing when used without having to model the interaction via short range invisible projectiles or another hack.

E.g. in vanilla, medikit weapon declares its effective "character_state" as "unwound", it could also be "wound", "stun" or "death". It also has consume enabled, which means that this item vanishes as a result of a successful action. It could be turned off to have a short range weapon that can be used several times as expected.

One of the frames in medic1 animation which medikit uses for "recoil" (=think of it as "action"), has '<control key="shoot" value="1" />' which marks the moment when the actual stun/death/wound/unwound event gets triggered in the nearby in-front characters. Range is same as with stab, and unfortunately not customizable yet.

Space Wolves as a third? Why would Salamanders fight Space Wolves?
