Are you also using the cone AoE that starts on the firing entity, or just a circular AoE at the impact point? Asking because I noticed the option for the former exists, but Relic doesn't use it, and was curious if you were and how it was working out.

Still progressing!

Our delay is due to realizing we had to rework our initial UI, both for future-proofing it and to make it fit with how different Nations were organized within our game. That and it didn't look all that great and had some flow issues.

One feature that won't make it until our first release, but will be eventually down the road, is a lot of Help and Information buttons through-out our UI. The Information buttons will give you a pop-up with details on the particular unit, vehicle, weapon, or item you're currently looking at, as well as drawing data straight from our game stats. For example, the Information pop-up on a tank will give an historical description of it, a table with it's armour plates with their thicknesses, angles, and an effective resistance value, a table of it's weapons with data on the shells they fire for comparison, and other stats for comparison.

To repeat, it won't be ready for our first release, but we want to make sure that not only is Fortress Europe historically accurate and authentic, but that it's also friendly for new players who are not history buffs, and that there's nothing obscured or hidden from our players.

Starting in late '43, tank brigades began replacing their T-34 tanks with T-34/85, starting with Guards units who got higher priority. The older T-34 was sent to other units - like cavalry divisions, for example - that had been using older or lighter vehicles for their armoured support, or the T-34 was modified into a specialized variant like a mine-clearer. By late '44 pretty much every tank brigade had a full allotment of the T-34/85.

tl;dr still lots of T-34 tanks in '44 and '45, but not in front-line tank units because they phased them out, so T-34/85 was more commonly seen

There's an ability Riflemen get when they upgrade to M1919 machine-guns. I think it gives Yellow cover when activated, or at least it used to.

You'll need to edit the EBP that is built and find the entry that lists what squad is spawned when the construction is complete, and remove the squad.
