I need some help on extracting models from Call of Arms: Gates of Hell; but have no idea how I would go around doing so. Can anyone enlighten me on the process?

Being a game developed on the GEM2 engine, I suggest you to search for topics related to the "Men of War" game on both here on this forum and on xentax.

In this case the archive .pak files are simple. zip files, so just extract the following .pak files to a temporary folders using the Total Commander:

\Call to Arms Gates of Hell Ostfront\resource\entity\construction.pak
\Call to Arms Gates of Hell Ostfront\resource\entity\entity.pak
\Call to Arms Gates of Hell Ostfront\resource\map.pak
