KV-8 tickles PzIV with it's main gun, but Panzer IV doesn't do much more to KV-8 either. A KV-8 can just ignore a Panzer shooting at it and melt some more inf. And it's not like losing a KV-8 is a big deal, it's only slightly more expensive than Panzer IV. Too much butt armor imo.
I had a faust fail by hitting the bigger hedgerow by the left base entrance on Semoskiy. Maybe it needs to be a the kind of hedgerow only heavy tanks can crush.
Playing as the north player on Langreskaya, sometimes when my units spawn on the right point they will go southeast around the hedge and come to the field in the east corner. Is this a bug or is this supposed to happen?
The pre-game loading screen for Moscow Outskirts uses the decription for the winter version of the map. I remember it had it's own description that didn't talk about fires and freezing, but that got switched out at some point.
