As requested: Pz IV H - and update news

[[TW]Wilsonam]

[FONT=Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]The latest news from the Ostfront: with our next update for Red Orchestra due to reach you all around the end of the month, we thought we would start to share a little more on the content with everyone.[/FONT]
[FONT=Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]This update will include two new vehicles and a new map. We will give you more detail on the second vehicle and the map over the next week or so, but first we can confirm the arrival of the German Panzerkampfwagen IV Ausfuhrung H – otherwise known as the Pz IV H. This model went into production in April 1943 and was the most common version produced during the war. In comparison to the existing Pz IV F2, it carries a slightly longer 75mm gun, for a little more hitting power, plus an additional 30mm of armour on the front. The version you will see in game also comes equipped with Sch

[NuCleaR]

Woho thanks Tripwire I love updates but unfortanly i agree with kong i find tankcrew man boring and almost never play as it.... I hope the next vehicle will be a german truck(car) to balance the russian clown car!

 

[[TW]Wilsonam]

So now you have something new to destroy - or be destroyed by

W000000T!!! Thanks a bunch TWI, I knew you guys were listening to those forum petitions all along. Pz-IV H looks great, now lets hope that next vehicle is the Tiger II

 

[NuCleaR]

Yeah i forgot the Tiger II that would be cool as well... But that should be hard to destroy with my PTRD... Oww wait make the double-actioned PTRD or what ever it was called

Hehe, The 4H was on the list long before that petition

 

[Faustnik]

Wow! Great addition to RO, can't wait!

 

[Pishi]

Looks great! I hope the new map is like KoningsPlatz. That's my favorite map of all time.

 

[EvilHobo]

Awesome news! Looking forward to the rest of the updates.

 

[DangDave]

New content is always welcome
but tanks are for newbs.
cant wait to plant a satchel on this baby though.
although the only tank maps I like to play are " The Hog " and KoningsPlatz so I'll probably never get to see it.

Hope the other vehicle is some sort of infantry transportation.

 

[Moz]

I hope that tank is wearing armoured panties under its skirt

 

[Oleg]

Meh, another tank + it's German tank, and we have enough of those. At least those schuertzen look sexy and will look even sexier when destroyed (preferably by a stolen PF )

Since second new vehicle will most probably be Russian I hope it's not "Ruskie IVH", ie some smallish variation on what we already have (say KV-85) but rather something substantially new (RUSSIAN TRUCK FTW! )

[Crim]

Oh, Tripwire, she's so pretty...

 

[REZ]

now you guys can take those silly 'i signed teh petition' statements out of your sigs.




Thanks Tripwire once again for your hard work. BTW, will the new map be combined arms?

 

[EnsiFerum]

Thank you TripWire !!!

Hopes for SU-85

 

[2fisted]

I think it looks great! can't wait to give it a go.

 

[myzko]

Oh boy..I'm really looking forward to this! Now it'll be even easier to convert some of my friends over to Red Orchestra




Oh, and I think the new map is a map that looks somewhat like Arad, but it's made for longer distance tank confrontations!

 

[Goetz]

Good to see. The historical inaccuracies of the tanks never bothered me much because I didn't know a lot about tanks. But it's good to see that instead of the F1 and F2 models which were produced in very small numbers (less than 500 for F1 and less than 200 for F2), while the Ausf H. was produced fairly largely (more than 3700). Thanks to wikipedia for that info
