Apparently, old model was good enough for Ostwind, stubby P4(ToW), 250, 251, 222 and plenty others(inb4 you confuse texture with model).
Again, you're batshit insane and you have no slightest idea what you are talking about.
CoH1 models are OWNED BY FUCKING RELIC, THE SAME COMPANY THAT MADE CoH2. The IP belongs to relic and their -CURRENT- publisher, not past one.
So cut the bullshit before it overflows.
It is called blue-print in CoH-folders. It includes the textures, polygones and animations.
Relic doesn't own anything, it is Sega. And if you want to sell the rights of a game, you can't put stuff of a. and put it into b. without any problem.
Thats is why most mods of any game are more or less illegal, they intermix stuff of other games using same engine.
