What The Community Is Up To - Vehicles



Since the release of Red Orchestra 2: Heroes of Stalingrad the community is waiting for new vehicles.
We know that everyone expected new vehicles provided by Tripewire Interactive.
And we also know that the information about the vehicles in the latest "What we are up to" post was annoying for some of you.


But in the latest "WWAUT" post you also could read "Speaking of additional content, I'd like to take this time to highlight the works of Coin-goD who is working to bring anti-tank guns to the game and Blitzk.-Bob who is has a team working on new vehicles."
And our short answer is...yes!
We are still working on it, we're still want to get this game better and yes, we still want more content too!


This is the post many people from the Red Orchestra 2 Community were asking me for.
Nearly every day, I receive emails or forum posts from people asking me for the progress or at least for a information post about it.

We were thinking about this for a long time and our first decision was, not telling the community what we are up to, so if there is something we can't do but promised it's sad for both, the community and the devs.


We can't promise you anything, but provide you with some informations and media.

Thank you guys, you are great!

Any news about some broad goals and projects this team has in mind ?

[Blitzk.-Bob]

Our goals are of course Vehicles for the basic game and the coming Mods.
We're currently working on them, and it looks good so far

[TheRealGunther]

I think alot of people would agree that we don't need fully modeled and animated interior in the first place but some new vehicles

I wish you best of luck for your project and I am eagerly awaiting some media.

Hopefully the ability to exit/enter vehicles come about with this project at some point.

[Comrade Kaizer]

Good luck to you guys, take your time and don't fold under pressure. The community will enjoy it when the project is initially done.

I think honestly you should speak for yourself...

The intent is irrelevant, the point is everyone should weigh in on the matter and provide some feedback.

I would hope they are indeed keeping it in the same vein as the current vehicles as to prevent any semblance issue or stark quality/mechanic differential.

[Blitzk.-Bob]

We can't give you any information about how far we are, because there are no limits in what we would like to create!
But most of our guys working on this project every day, and please bear in mind that we are just a Mod Team we get not paid for this and need our spare time for this.
Most of us have kids, a angry wife in the neck and a job.

We haven't discuss this for now.
But I think there will be a Beta testing with not fully animated interior etc.

I confirm this, we'll be able to enter/exit a vehicle of course.

Hmm...

Sounds a lot like a new Tripwire Interactive in the making

Best of luck! Thanks to the team for the hard work, dedication. As I'm a firm believer in family first (...you only have your kids to mold for a few short years), thank the family for their sacrifice as well.

Awesome! That's too awesome! Can't wait to see progress, take you time!

[migmadmarine]

Any word on what the vehicles you are working on are, or do you not wan't to speak of this yet? Also, if you are not working on transports, but say you are working on getting in/out, might it be made possible ride tanks for the time being?

[[40-1]MORD]

Great news guys!
Good luck on your project!
