Nice update 

I wonder how the Mk IV behave compared to the Mk I, does it have more penetration with this new barrel ?

[Hockeywarrior]

So... what's left to do? The american truck, the American Howitzer, the Achilles tank hunter and the Sherman with 76mm gun are my bets for stuff "in the pipe".

That's pretty much what I think about every time I see there's a new update. I'm like "Okay, seriously, WTF is there that these guys HAVEN'T done?!..... oh shit, that's right."

They just keep rolling more and more equipment out the door! Honestly I'm starting to lose track of what is and isn't in the mod. I think the devs can't even keep up, because the vehicle sections of the site are woefully out of date, especially for the Americans.

[HadrianBT]

Of course it will have more penetration.

I mean, honestly, if you have something longer, while keeping the same diameter, it IS better
A cannon barrel is no different.

Even better. More ammo types where avaible (APC from 1942, APCBC from january 1943, APCR from October 1943, and the rare but migthy APDS from march 1944)

You guys better include some of these ammo's. If every German tank can have Special HEAT or Pzg 40 shells, so then the british can have their specials aswel

[Kev4000]

Just for reference. We have no plans to include it as of now.

You sure? That could cause some whining.

Plans can change quickly. Some modeler could out of nowhere decide to port it. So basically, all I'm just saying is we haven't started on it yet. At the moment, we have to balance how much content we want with how quickly we want to release, so don't expect all too much more content.

Also, if you guys had looked through 2.15s current code, the special 6 pounder ammo is already there, just not used in 2.15.

Then you try to release quick, and not making more and more things?

Achilles wont see the light in 2.2, I believe it first saw active service later in 1944,

I made a suggestion bout the Achilles already, it saw action at the very first days of D-day.It saw alot of Combat with the british. Around 120 where landed on D-day. It helped to defend a famous counterattack on one of the beaches, forgot wich beach.

It is defiantly a unit, wich should be included for 2.2.I mean, the Germans get the much rarer Marder I. Why cant the British get their achilles then?

[Flippy Warbear]

Come on they have a Firefly already.

[Kev4000]

We'll most definately be making some more things, just not an extreme amount. Don't expect every vehicle that saw action in Normandy to be included in 2.2, simply put.

[Tiny]

Not really expecting the KT to make it into 2.2, but it would be really interesting to see just how good you could make it seeing how well-made your Tiger I is. I mean, ofcourse all your items are high-quality, no doubt, it's just on these bigger toys you really see much detail, I mean more is more. I suppose then you would have to make the Achilles hehe.

[[CHN]Harrier]

That's all for now, but be sure to come back later this week for another update. 

[Eat Uranium]

That's all for now, but be sure to come back later this week for another update.

I presume that this next update comes on Friday or Sunday evening.  I wonder what it will contain...
