Hello and welcome to another update of Traction Wars. This month we have the finished Lee Enfield No.4 Rifle by [TWDEV] Sir Apple as well as the Lee Enfield Scope and Mills Bomb Grenade by the latest artist to join the team [TWDEV] Brrr. Welcome aboard Brrr!

Lee Enfield No.4 Mk.I Update
In Update #09 we presented a WIP model of the Lee Enfield No.4 Mk.I. This time we are pleased to present the finished textured Lee Enfield by [TWDEV] Sir Apple with all it's attachments including the new scope modelled and textured by [TWDEV] Brrr.



Mills Grenade
The Mills Bomb was the standard British hand grenade during both World Wars and many years post-war. The version used in World War Two was the No. 36M, in service since 1917. Initially developed for desert warfare it proved to be a superior design and therefore was used as standard hand grenade into the 1970’s with over 70 million being produced.



Spanner
Finally for this update every army relies on it's engineers to keep the machine of war moving and the British Army was no different. The finished spanner below was modelled & textured by [TWDEV] Brrr.



The team is looking to recruit Animators & Riggers so if you think you might be interested please have a look at the recruitment page of our website.

That's all for this update, see you again next time. Until then be sure to check out our community forums and comment on news, post suggestions and become part of our rapidly growing community.

oo that is great

but why does everyone have TWDEV in their name ?

Traction Wars Developer possibly

The grenade looks strangely colourful.

But nice work, definitely one to download on release.

Because they ar Traction War Developers?

Looking good, some nice assets there

yes great

TWDev means Traction Wars Developer. The reason we have those in our names even in news update is because there are also TWCON, meaning Traction Wars Contributor.

This way you know whos who :happy:.

Very good models, accurate as well. My only issue is with the colorfull grenade. The model is right, but i think the colors are wrong.
I think a mat-metal would suit it much better.

Im very interested in how the damage / reload times will behave.

Doomlord52:
We got a historian helping us with the correctness of the models etc., and from what I understand, the "color-full" Mills bomb, is a variant that's more accurate in what we'll develop the mod too. As in where the grenade was in action etc.

dude, awesome lee enfield - takes me back a few years to the british section of the cod2 campaign, and fellow soldiers shouting 'take that, ya dirty jerry rotta!'

Keep in mind that, that is an old grenade, most likely one from ww2. So the color is gone.

This would be closer to realistic color.

Nonetheless you have a point. Brr knows of these changes that need to be made, but its pretty accurate as is (the render also plays a role in the brightness of the texture).

nice models.

The rifle models are nice, I don't like the textures, to bright and not "woody" enough atm (just something it made me think of) the colour looks like some furniture form Ikea atm, ie : has a very "new pine" feel which isn't right at all for a a millitary rifle that has allready (literaly) been in the wars.

The rifle looks great,but the textures need to be grunge up.Looks way to new and should look more like its been used and abused.

I wish it came through on the renders, not sure why it didn't... but I feared a comment like this - the texture is quite dirty near the bolt mechanism, more dirty then I normally would do. It may be hard to believe me so once you see it in game you'll see what I mean ...same goes for the wood color.
