this question might have already been answered, but will DH be seperate from RO like MN, or intigrated like CC??

Darkest Hour Press Release: DH Manual
- Thread starter Aeneas2020
- Start date
Top stuff!!!! I really liked the look and layout of the manual. It is very detailed and has some lovely new screenshots covering lots of different units, weapons, vehicles, maps, etc. Good work guysI do hope the manual gets an update everytime you bring out newer content or have made any changes for DH.
Early version of the manual. I'll keep updating it with new content when it's ready and they'll be a lot more to come. As Anenas has said in the near future they'll be the stuff we had to leave out last minute and in the not too distant future will be a lot of new German/British stuff.
Anyway if you spot any errors in the manual PM and i'll fix it for the next update

It'll be standalone from RO. It'll work the same way MN does atm.
The reasons why have been covered in another thread somewhere

There's a civilian car model (Citroen Traction Avant) in the manual that I've noticed but I was just wondering if it could be possible to drive one of these beauties around town maybe as another means of transport ?

no you can't drive those, we have the allied Jeep the same way just as static eye candy.
our feeling is these would turn into DH's version of the Clown car which is something we did not want.

Also, it probably wasn't too common for soldiers to be tooling around town in one of those in the midst of a battle

Now I can understand why the US Willys Jeep or even other vehicles like the armoured scout cars won't be driveable.

Lol yeh fog we have a dev discussion on this and it went something as follows:
Dev 1 "All raise your hands if you want jeeps playable in game"
*Almost every dev raises hand*
Dev 1 "How many of you would jump in them and run off and cap all the cap zones before the game has even started properly?"
*Almost every dev raises hand*
that pretty much killed the idea off straight away. We'd love to have a lot of cool cars in game to drive but the problem is people just don't use them as they would be used in rl (i.e. jeeps fast recon, med evac etc). They just burn it off to the capzone and cap the points it tends to mess with the game balance a little too much. Shame really

I'm guessing this might be because the alled tanks did not actaully have the ability to do this? I might be wrong though...

Allied tanks are ranged using the recticle markings by raising and lowering the barrel. this is the correct way it was done so I ma informed.
so you do have control over adjusting your sights, but it's not as simple as the axis tanks method.

The manual has also got stuff about Gliders, how in what way will they actually work ? Do you get to pilot them or are they AI controlled ? Do you get to walk inside the Gliders while it's flying similar to the C53 Skytrooper ?
