Why do the units in screenshots don't look as good as the ones from vCoH 2? I don't think it's just because of alpha. :s

All looks pretty nice to me, could mainly be the fact that they have no camouflage skins on the vehicles that are usually seen in multi-player. Infantry, not enough zoom to make judgement.

There is jadgpanzer and jadgtiger.

It makes absolutely zero sense to add marder and jadgpanther for the reason other then adding stuff for the sake of adding stuff, so I wouldn't be surprised to like... never seeing them.

That and the fact that we already had them in vCoH and I for one would like to have a new meal served instead of eating old burger.

Hurtgen forest is cool because it has sections with dense forests that tanks can't pass though unless they have heavy crush. It makes for some interesting infantry fights even into the late game.

Shermans vet ability make them see further and perform a bit better when there are other vehicles around and riflemen get access to their at rifle grenades to disable enemy tank engines.

I was wondering what Riflemen's AT was going to be, neato!. OKW will probably use the Panzerfaust, no reason to change it.

Do you remember that expensive direct shot from B4 to an enemy tank that CAN be blocked by terrain or somecrap that is infront of him(even little things)?. Dont worry, Sturmtiger also does this bullshit thing XD

Here's some info about the sherman:
-It can switch shell types. AP for for tanks, HE for infantry.
-It can fire smoke canisters to block the line of sight. Not on itself like the german tanks but further and slower to cover advances.
-Can buy a top gunner.

What about the infrared halftrack? It very much reminds me of the vampire halftrack. Can you tell me exactly what it does and how it works? It seems like i can handle it like an opel blitz by hiding it in areas hidden in LoS, but the thing itself can see everything around it.

It's actually quite different then that. It has a big spotlight thing on top and when it's not moving it will rotate back and forth, revealing the enemy units in the fog of war ahead of it in a large cone.

It is a real good tool to use with artillery and long range vehicles. It also has no offensive capabilities so you have to put valuable resources into something that can't actually fight anything itself.

All allied factions vs all axis factions. You can mix it up even further in custom games though.

-Rifleman are easily the most solid mainline infantry.
-Their Garands are pretty good at all ranges.
-Can get grenades.
-They can be upgraded with bars and bazookas, but need to grab them out of a weapon shed in their base.
-Can fire smoke grenades to block LOS.
-get at riflenades at vet 1.

The king tiger is pretty much exactly what you would expect. A slow moving beast of armor, health , and firepower.

We can't talk about prices or balancing right now.
