Alright, thanks for the throughout response. Some 'nostalgia' serves this map quite well, anyway 
As a side note, the classic duel at Elsdorf would be nice (Pershings vs late Tigers). I hope some dev would have time to ponder this, at some point.
Sometimes even whole vehicles kind of sit on the back burner just because we don't have a map to put them on which sucks (like atm we have no place to put our BT-7 or Pershing

Great map and all, but just curious and no harm intended, but what's the reasoning behind Jagdpanther on Seelow Heights? Tiger II is ok (in a sense, Tiger I would be historically more accurate), but why Jagdpanther when the most nearby JP unit was located in the northern Germany?

Happy to hear! Pictures come from various sources, from own collection (books, photographs), fellow collectors, archives (NARA, ECPAD, TsAMO, museums...), misc WWII groups and such.

Singleplayer and Coop / Re: I say, has the new update changed the loadout for the STG?
« on: 15-06-2020, 11:06:54 »
Yup, there were no factory-issued StuG IVs with coaxial. Even with the late production StuG III Ausf. G, only a part of delivered vehicles were equipped with a coaxial MG.
