I have an exam tomorrow and I need my 8PM - 3AM period to study.

(Which is also why I'm not on IRC, in case you were wondering. You guys are way too distracting...)

All looks very good.  To be honest, I wasn't expecting any churchills at all, and now three come along at once.  The brits sure have a lot of tanks now.

Edit: Nice Birthday present for me tomorrow as well.

Damn you were fast with announcing the update on Steam, Flippy! Kudos on that.

Anyway, BEAUTIFUL models. Really. Simply stunning. The Brits' armor cache is shaping up nicely. :)

Sorry for double post, but hell yes. And as you can read from Lightnings message, he wasnt in IRC telling us about incoming update. I am just *that* good.

Edit: For once Steam Group was useful. ;)

Woohoo churchils and also the AVRE one really nice. Are the french guns objectives to destroy, Just statics or actually usable since I think the germans didnt use them at all.

Are the french guns objectives to destroy, Just statics or actually usable since I think the germans didnt use them at all.

The Devs don't make promises. They make "approximations".

Ah, nice. I'm seeing an update within a few hours for the first time, and it is by coincidence, LOL.

I really like what I'm seeing, but...

Quote
Although it was so big that it had to be loaded from the outside of the tank and only had a range of 140 metres, the AVRE could knock out enemy bunkers and roadblocks with ease.

Two questions:

1) How will the outside loading be represented ingame?
2) Is the AVRE useful in any other than beachmaps?

And a bonus question: what are those small red bottles on the outside of the turret?

Fire extinguishers probably.

Might be like Hyacinth 32, i.e. the americans have to destroy the guns to cap one of the further back flags.
