Hands on Western Fronts Armies

The fg42 was always used scoped. Probably no armor, high cost to deploy, and a high reinforce cost. The thing is, it does everything; it has a bundled nade for displacing units in cover, panzerfaust for stalling armored units, and a toxic smoke grenade to deny cover and block LoS. It also does not have the panzergrenadier problem - if a conscript squad charges an fallshirms and they are both in no cover, the falshirmjagers, in theory, should demolish the conscripts before they get close to damage it, and the fallshirmjagers should suffer no losses. fg42's should have stg44 dps at a much longer range.

Sad news about T-34-85. CP changed to 10.

Might affect 1 vs 1 a little bit ,not other formats.Players who wait 9 cps can wait 10.

Yes ur right,because it can dmg from long range it won't have as much trouble as pzgren.
But same armor as a gren model?Maybe more health instead of armor.

I am looking from 1 vs 1 perspective.

Obtained changelog. It's got really interesting things in it. Especially numbers.

The NDA extends past the end of Alpha, so just because it's almost over doesn't mean it can be talked about.

Finally some comment from Relic. Where have you been this whole time?

And as far as I remember Alpha ends in few days. Really good news.

Tuning the Alpha, silly

Interesting things you aren't supposed to post in public forums

Jump back to quoted post13 Jun 2014, 19:51 PMIpKaiFung

which means even after it ends you still can't post about the game on public forums

I don't think it was a "mistake", rather than a stand-in. I can't imagine how hard it is to find functioning WW2 vehicles. It looks like they went to a place that had quite a few, I assume they just didn't have any Jagdpanzer IV's, so they took a similar option.

The M24 Chaffee is certainly interesting though, since it called by name. Possible doctrinal vehicle?

Okay so some confirmation of additional recorded sounds:

-M24 Chaffee
-Hetzer
-Sherman Easy Eight
-M47 Patton (huh??)


The video mistakes the Hetzer for the Jagdpanzer IV.

Our list was as follows:
•Jagdpanzer 38(t) “Hetzer” – Inline 6 cyl praga engine gasoline
•OT810/Sd.Kfz. 251 ausf Halftrack – 8 cyl Tatra Diesel engine
•M4A3E8 Sherman – V8 Ford GAA gasoline
•M24 Chaffee – 2x 8cyl Cadillac 44T24 gasoline
•M5 Stuart – Continental 7 cyl W-760-9 A radial engine gasoline
•M47 Pershing heavy tank – V8 Twin Continental Twin Turbo gasoline

The Chaffee and Pershing tanks weren’t really vehicles that were going to be in our game but we felt they offered a unique recording opportunity. The Chaffee had twin Cadillac engines which were found in various vehicles in the war and the twin turbo of the Pershing we felt might translate well to some of the heavier German tanks.

.

No Pershing in the game very disappointed about that.
