Good,a new "front".
I suppose the Bulge will be easir to do.Most models (70%) are already done,just need proper skins and the maps.

But the winther models look to have a very thin snow layer.In FH1,they had a thick layer,the Panzer and Shermans were totally white.Were they painted or snows a lot in Belgium?
Just few days ago I said how nice the JP V looks with a proper whitewash instead on boring full white paint job like they would have brought the tank back to the factory to get repainted.

Yes, the white paint was applied at the front.

Nice update!

Bah it is now obvious that Battle of the Bulge is definitely the next theater (yes I know I know the devs alluded to it long ago). Luckily 90% of the vehicles for the battle are already in game and would only need reskins.  As cool as this is, though, I hope that there's only one patch planned for this theater as it is much smaller in scope that any of the other theaters introduced so far.

AND so we can move on to the Eastern Front as quickly as possible! :D

Something i noted:

Patch 2.3 was the final conclusion in the series of all-Normandy patches.

Which then reminds me of what Kelmola said:

Now I realize it. The devs are going to have a statics-based approach on new fronts post-Bulge - and not necessarily concentrating on a single front at a time anymore.
Excellent. All is as I have foreseen it. ;D

I'd rather play Kimble with my ass!

Guys 106mm thick armor sloped back at 30 degrees, how "strong is it?"

 I dissagree in the fact that for the bulge its is OUTSTANDING necessary to make new soldier skins including at least two: US GIs with coats ! and at least one german winter outfit (coat - SS anorak - Fallschirmjäger winter outfit) If those are missing it would look very strange!

I know its very very hard to make new player models but this is the most important thing about winter battle!


(also would like to see airborne and fallschirmjäger uniforms in normandy)

Maybe smaller but compared to the events happening there it was one of the most interessting ones. In my dreams I see Königstiger with FJ soldiers driving through the old forrest-  I see GIs jumping from one to another foxhole while beijing under fire by 88s -  I see jagdtiger at snowy fields attacking desperatly fighting shermans -
and i also see normandy maps! Night maps where soldiers jump out of Plane - and Flaks giving deadly light into the dark - I see soldiers -seasick and afraid - running throw open beaches, raped and surpessed by mg nest -and still fighting their way up ^^ I see mh more but im too tired to write more :D


good night

Nice update, one of my favorite things in FH0.7 was to drive JagdPanther behind a bush and ambush allied tanks.

Seems a bit odd that azreal would make such obvious references to a theater not yet in the game without announcing the next theater. If I were the suspicious type, I would wonder if this was some misdirection. However I think the Western Front 44/45 is the logical choice.  This includes, of course the Battle of the Bulge Battle for the Ardennes Salient.

@ IrishReloaded: they look fresh and new because they ARE fresh and new. Wait until you play the new maps for the 15th time ;)
@Kelmola: you are my favourite conspirationist. You even get followers now (for example Steel Lion Fin)  :D

Yes, and I was just kidding with you. A more weathered look would be nice, I agree. But it's a detail in the great ride of additions you will see in newsposts to come :)

 Battle of the bulge, nice  ;D




Guys 106mm thick armor sloped back at 30 degrees, how "strong is it?"



 I'm nearly sure it's frontal armor will be totally inpenetrable for stugs and panzer 4s probably tigers, panthers will fail to penetrate with regular ap but it's hull side armor has nothing special only 38mm like regular shermans which means even weaker than m3 stuart's frontal armor.  ::)  If you want tips for the future see below.   8)


Basically, axis bias has removed. Glad its being noticed.
