Well, the M4A3(76)W has been in the game since shortly before the WFA DLC, as the M4C, and we have been making use of it since. So, definitely! :)

An aside: Too bad Relic didn't model an actual M4A2(76)W for the M4C. The differences were minor, but still. :(

Cavalry Riflemen are something made up for CoH2, and nothing new asset wise. However, while Armored and Cavalry Reconnaissance units mostly kept to their vehicles, we will also have a dismounted option where they will have some support weapons and rifle squads.

We will definitely have Ranger Rifle Companies. They had a lot of mortars, submachine-guns, and bazookas in the Battalion HQ, so they will be much different from your standard Rifle Company.

Air support is likely something we will hold off on for after the first release.

More detail on the Cavalry Reconnaissance units...

By 1944, the standard was a platoon with three M8 Greyhounds and six Jeeps, as well as three M2 60mm mortars carried by the Jeeps to mainly provide smoke and fire support for withdrawals under fire. The Jeeps spread out to cover ground, and the armoured cars added a little firepower to help them out.

The dismounted variety happened because not all terrain was vehicle friendly, and sometimes the situation called for them to fight. So they pulled the machine-guns off their Jeeps and Greyhounds and left their vehicles behind, giving you an infantry scout platoon with M1919 light machine-guns, M2 .50cals, Bazookas, and M2 60mm mortars as optional firepower.

Oh god, my pants....

edit: oh btw, is there any distinction between the Nazi SS divisions compared to the wermaket? I remember in vCOH that PE was the waffen SS or something and they had a totally mechanized teir list.

Waffen-SS forces are planned. For the most part, they were organized exactly like Heer (regular army) units. Almost all of the Waffen-SS Divisions were Panzer or Panzergrenadier, with only a few outliers, so motorized and mechanized forces will be the norm.

The main differences only kick in above the Division level, where you'll find the Corps and Army level support units. In the case of the Waffen-SS, it stopped at Corps level, so the Army level support units that the Heer have are missing altogether. For example, Heavy Tank-hunter units, such as PaK43, Jagdpanther, Jagdtiger, and Elefant, are not available as SS units. There's a few others that also have no SS equivalent.

What you mainly get by picking Waffen-SS over Heer is a series of passive and active effects that make them more determined and willing to accept casualties, but at a higher purchase price per unit.

EDIT: And spiffy camouflage for your troops, of course. The Waffen-SS were the ones that used the camo smocks the Obersoldaten wear, as well as the ones the CoH1 Stormtroopers had.

AFAIK the only requirement is that we obey the various European laws regarding Nazi sybmolism, so we've made sure to not add in any such symbols. As was shown in an earlier screenshot, our Waffen-SS symbol is a generic black divisional shield without any runic symbols that would identify it as a specific SS division; no SS runes to be found. We've also removed the swastika from the Luftwaffe eagle and Kriegsmarine eagle emblems. I might later draw in an iron cross for those eagles, but for now they'll awkwardly be clutching nothing in their talons :)

That should be sufficient, since CoH1 did have SS show up in a campaign mission, and stated your enemy was from an SS division during the briefing.

As long as we handle it tastefully it should be fine. If this isn't enough, we'll remove them.

As many of you know, the Army Builder UI has been our main focus lately. We do not have anything new to show, as we are still working through some iterations. However, I can say that we remade the UI for deploying units after some feedback from you guys and thoughts of our own.

It is now built into the Tactical Map, which means that the Platoons you have purchased will show up on the right-hand side. You can click on a Platoon, and then click on a Section to deploy them. Since you are already in the Tactical Map, you can select these newly deployed Sections and give them commands from there.

It basically means that deployment will never get in the way of the normal UI and is only a button press away.

I am not sure how many people actually use the Tactical Map, but it should see more use in Fortress Europe.

If it was in normal vCOH i wouldnt mind, but omfg the tact map in COH2 looks utterly disgusting.
So im just wondering if there's any visual changes there, to make it not so... disgusting.

It is not a priority, but definitely something we can look into. The left and right sides, for sure, will be different.

Going into this I thought German unit names would be the longest, but Russian has proven to be the current champion for length!

Unless you make up stuff like Fallschirmpanzerfliegerabwehrrakatenwerferbatterie

Invissed a post. Come on now, I know it's the internet, but common sense please!
The internal battery has run dry, the game can now be played. However, clock based events will no longer occur.
