it *was* real

@Murdercore Banicus Its not confirmed what happened to it, nor does anyone know who reservist Hellriegel is. There are just theories. Im planning to actually message Vienna Library archive to find more about those photos and maybe solve mystery of Hellriegel. SMG 08 mystery was solved already, so why not Hellriegel.

We don't know what happened to it, so that comment is irrelevant. It's real.

It was real for about, a week, and then it wasn't anymore

So it's real then. Glad we agree.

they made one, found it was unsuccessful and immediately scrapped it, its a prototype

What the hell does that mean?

its a real gun in the sense that it existed, but its not real in the same sense the pancor jackhammer is real

"only one was ever made"
It is real then.

We have three photographs confirming the weapon's existence. What we don't have is concrete information on the mechanics of the device or what the left side of the gun looked like.

uhhh no its not, only one was ever made, and even then, the only evidence we have that it ever even existed is some shotty tape, plus it was scrapped almost immediatley

It is real.

this gun isnt real, nonetheless its a cool one

What?

The gun that was never put together.

There are no observation balloons afaik.

can u make bf1 observation balloons and zeppelin plz both sky box and props german,french,and british balloons plz

UPDATE:

Added more skins with new, darker metal.

UPDATE:

Fixed a couple of rigging errors.

Speculation or not, not bad.

Make no mistake, I hade EA far more, I just believe that noone is free of blame in this situation. While EA gets most of the blame, DICE still must have had some hand.

Regardless, we should be positive. Let's instead celebrate DICE's excellent handing of the models in this game, and the details they managed to put into them.

Sure do but we hate EA more so aim at them both but mostly EA for this, Thrill Kill, Road Rash, Strike games, Battleforge, Battlefield Heroes, Need for Speed, Dead Space, Command and Conquer, etc. Bastards.

I know it's EA, although DICE probably still had something to do with one of them.

I guess I can understand that. It's EA so blame it on them like we always do.

It's partly because I have a fascination with history, and I am actually studying history in University. That is why I find most of these things so hard to excuse, and why I see many errors and mistakes most other people do not.

Well, I'm glad I don't got your issues then.

I have no interest in Lotr no.
BF1 really is one of the few cases where this race thing bothered me, because of how absurd and contrived it is. Not to mention it's obviously just for sake of political correctness, which is something I utterly despise.

WoT is still problematic, it's nearly impossible to play vehicles in historical configurations without being at a massive disadvantage.

SOMEONE WEAPONIZE THIS QUICK!

I see, its a shame youre so uptight, WoT has atleast some if not all historical accuracy, atleast visual and performance wise? Its not exactly per say, a middle finger but it is somewhere there... and youre wrong, the game actualy respects the people who fought and died in the war, the epic voice guy even acknowledges it in the honest game trailer. But whatever, good luck in dealing with such trivial issues as race, i hope youre not a Lord of the Rings fan too then with one of the characters being black where he shouldnt be at.

Thekiller:
I made it perfectly clear in the description that this was a limited prototype. I even said most of it's specifications are unknown.

Martini Henry not for now. Got WT stuff to work, and when I come back I will finish the Remington 8.

I am more pissed off about the weapons mate, the soldiers are the second thing I hate most about this game. First being the lack of a proper historical mode.

World of tanks has no historical accuracy however, it's putting a bunch of historical vehicles in a box and bumping them together. BF1 actually tried selling on the historical accuracy angle, which makes this kind of shit unforgivable. If they had just made this an alternate universe thing, I would have had zero issues with the game, but as it is, it's an enormous middle finger to history and a complete lack of respect for the people who actually fought and died in the war.

It does not matter how little of a chance there is, they were in the colonial army, and never were in Europe. The fact that there are no blacks in the French army also pisses me off equally.

It is quite poorly made but the fact remains that they were aprt of THE ARMY, just shut up about your specific army sub division and accept the fact that they were in THE army. It is shitty that they pulled a political correctness move but the fact that they utilise this fact is fine by me. Its kind of the same thing in World of Tanks, most tanks there were never used in war, never made it to action, but it didnt stop them from being included in the game as usable tanks regarding the fact that they EXISTED, same case as with the german soldiers. You should be more pissed off on the stupid automatic, scoped and pump weapons, too much anti tank weaponry that makes vehicles a deathtrap, and trough shootable full plated knight sentry whatever body armor. I see what you mean, totaly, but its awesome to use this fact on such a wider scale, like, its not fair that something was somewhere else, not there where the main event takes off, its more fun to give this kind of chance.

No. It is not. You cannot take the fact that the German Colonial Armies, which were separate from the main German army, and had different equipment to cap it off, as an excuse to piss over history for the sake of being politically correct. This game already pisses over history enough.

If they only appeared in an african map, that would be okay, but you cannot have them in Europe. The only people of color fighting in Europe were African-Americans and blacks that the French army brought from the colonies to bolster their ranks. Germany does not get blacks. Australia does not get blacks, I have no idea where they even got that one from. And the British army had INDIAN people in it, not blacks.

The fact matters that they served in the german army pal and thats enough to make it canon, true and useable as a concept in the game.

No. It is not. Africans only served in the colonial armies, they never came to europe. Their uniforms were also different.

And there is also the issue of the black people in this game being African-Americans instead of actual africans, which is fine in the US army, and nowhere else.

Black people in german armies is realistic though, check all facts mate. With that being said, hate this gun.

Also, I updated the size scale of the pistols.

Thats it! Im making a swep out of this one.

Mmh.

just like now

It really depends on how quickly I notice the message.

Damn you type fast as fuck

The fact that it isn't historically accurate is what pisses me off about it though.

That's what im saying

Having another person hold the drum wouldnt work in gameplay.

Battlefield 1 isn't trying to be even REMOTELY historically accurate. Otherwise there would not be so many automatic and prototype weapons or have bizarre shit like african americans in the German army.

The fact that they should the game on historical accuracy is just further insult.

Battlefield 1 isn't trying to be historically accurate 100% people

I think DICE connected the drum so you could shoot accurately and not have another person hold the mag or go prone and shoot.

Name is bf1hellriegel.

I cant find the model in the spawnmenu. I'm looking around the Battlefield 1 models: ---- area but I dont see it.

I like your work, but I really want sweps. Never the less good work.

I don't stop, I merely take brakes.
