I forgot they also use the original T-72, this looks pretty much the same as the T-72M but has a small sight aperture infront of the Commanders hatch for a coincidence rangefinder. The T-72M has a laser rangefinder so this is blanked off.

T-72M - No smoke grenade dischargers + Gill armour panels along the sides if still fitted
T-72M1 - Smoke grenade dischargers at front of turret + Rubber track skirts
T-72M1V - T-72M1 with EDZ reactive armour

122 Syrian T-72's were upgraded with the TURMS-T package by Galileo Avionica which includes improved day/thermal sights and gun stabilization as well as the capability to fire 9K119 Refleks (AT-11) ATGM's, a percentage were fitted with a panoramic viewer for the commander.

From what i recall 'Co$t of Living' was lost during a strafing run, one of the 20mm mounts failed and it shot off the front rotors, the ACH-47A plummeted to earth and was destroyed on impact with all on board killed.

Been looking at the aircraft on strength of the 2nd VA and Luftflotte 4 during the battle and think the following would be most appropriate.

Luftflotte 4

Observation - Fw 189A-2
Air-to-Air - Bf 109G-4 or 'G-6
Ground Attack - Fw 190A-5 and/or F-2
                      Hs 129B-2/R2 (30mm MK 103)
                      Ju 87D-5

2nd Air Army

Air-to-Air - La-5FN
                Yak-1B
Ground Attack - Il-2M (aka Il-2 m1943/Il-2 AM-38F, note, not the Il-2M3)
                      Il-2M NS-37 (Il-2 NS-37)
                      Pe-2FT

The LSSAH had four operational Tigers on the 10th of July, which is what the table shows on the first link, not the entire II. SS Pz. Korps.

You can actually see in that photo, they're doing exactly that, Thor.  They're skipping the front two road wheels, which look a bit messed up.
What's that US star doing on the rear end of that PzIV?

Belongs to the 15. Panzer-Grenadier Division in Italy (Divisional insignia).

The Panzer IVH Should have smoke shells, didn't have dischargers. The only Panzer IV in the mod with dischargers is the Ausf.D

The truck on the left is a Ford V3000, there is a sIG33 in the centre too.

Surely, these would not be made for just one map (as seen somewhere), right?

Surely, this means we will get P-38, P-39, and P-40 soonest?
Hopefully yes  ;D P40 can be used by the brits

^ Fixed.

Nice update, hopefully will we see the M3 Halftrack later on.

Vehicles are TOTALLY underpowered.

This is no longer vehicles with infantry support like the last games ; It's now infantry with vehicle support.
And could they over power the engy's even more ? repair + AT rockets + AA rockets + mines. Also I don't like it that MG gunners get C4. There should have been an explosive specialist class IMHO.

Vehicles are fine. Engineers can have an AT launcher or MANPAD + Blowtorch or AT mines, not all at once.

MBT + Autoloader + Coax HMG + Zoom optics = win

Had a CQ match on Seine Crossing and we were getting raped by the enemy Abrams (with IR optics and proximity scan), it took dozens of SMAW round hits and took out three T-90's, basically it was crewed by a squad of engineers, two manning it and another following on foot. After about five deaths i managed to flank it through an alleyway, fired one RPG into the engine bay, disabling it, the guy on the aamg spotted me as i sprinted towards the tank, luckily he missed i dove for cover behind it, and fired my last RPG...

KABOOM!!!!...             Triple kill + suicide.  :D

Anyway i'm really enjoying the new tank mechanics, tanking is certainly a more cerebral activity than in previous iterations.
