The Russian faction was there at the release of the mod.

A new update was posted a little while ago - apparently they're not done sneak-peeking the Ostheer.

It's nothing major but it could prove to be quite interesting: it's modernization.

In order to illustrate the change of military technology on the eastern front from the years 1941 - 44/45 the EF team is adding a series of resource-costing switches at the HQ that represent modernization for Infantry, Tanks, and Support Weapons respectively.

Here are the details regarding what changes for each (taken from the EF update page):

Spoiler Alert, click show to read: 

Infanterie Gruppen Post:
Modernisation Cost - 330MP, 45FU

Landser Squad leader: MP40 -> StG44

MG Team: MG34 -> MG34/41 (Gains more or less the same stats as Wehr MG42)

Marksman: MKb.42 Scoped semi-auto -> StG Scoped full auto

AT Team: PzB 39 (Panzerbüchse Zug) -> Panzershreck (Ofenrohr Zug)

Kübelwagen: 985cc Engine -> 1.131cc Engine (Increase speed. Free with modernisation. Upgrades vehicles in field)



Schutzen War Camp:
Modernisation Cost - 450MP, 80FU

FlaK-38: PzII Luchs unlocked (Replaces towed Flak-38)

Panzerfusiliers: MP40 -> StG44

Panzerwerfer: Research becomes available upon modernisation completion.

Stormpioniers: Regular mines -> S-Mines(AI)/Teller Mines(AT)

Troop Halftrack: 2x MG34's -> Optional FlaK-38 (Sdkfz 251/17) upgrade for better AI (45 muni)

PaK36: Pak40 unlocked

LeIG18: 'Hollow-Charge Shell' ability unlocked. Grants LeIG18 greater AT abilities (30muni, 90 cooldown)



Panzer Kampf Kommand
Modernisation Cost - 520MP, 120FU

Panzer III: Gains additional armour on hull front and gun mantlet (Free with modernisation. Upgrades tanks in field)

StuG III: Improvised Armour upgrade -> Armoured Skirts upgrade (25 muni)

Panther Ausf.G: Available upon modernisation completion.

Marder II: 'Tungsten Core Shell' ability unlocked. Significant damage to Tanks. (40 muni, 90 cooldown)

Brummbar: Available upon modernisation completion.

This sounds like an interesting feature to include. It'll be interesting to see how such a feature acts against the other armies and how the balancing works out when the Ostheer have to not only purchase/build the appropriate techs and buildings for late game units/abilities but also pay a modernization "fee" to even do so.

A little late but in case anyone still cares EF is now at 1.4

Balancing changes, bug fixes, and the like as usual but they've also added some new stuff: new soviet inspired music, a new PTRD-41 model, reward units for the Soviets, replaced the Jagdtiger to allow the Wehrmacht the Tiger Ace as a reward unit (Tiger Ace also has been reskinned), the Panzer Elite has gotten the Nashorn as a reward unit, and finally the RMC got a few surprises (but I have yet to check them out).

They've also added three new team members and now have taken one giant step forward to releasing the Ostheer!

*Note* A new patch for CoH was released back in May so EF 1.4 works with that. However, there is some sort of issue with the auto-update for the EF launcher (it wont update). Apparently you just have to tell it not to auto-update for now and it should work fine.
