As requested: Pz IV H - and update news

[Nestor Makhno]

Please lord, not big huge, game-unbalancing tanks like the King Tiger!!!

You guys who ask for this stuff - just think FFS. The King Tiger was an incredibly deadly weapon but , then again, so was a 20,000 lb stick of bombs from a Lancaster bomber.

They would both have the same effect on the game - kill it stone dead!!!

The game would be fun for the guy with the quick PC who bagged tank crew first and jumped into his uber-boy-toy but deathly boring for anyone else on the map, or would their purpose just be to sit in spawn and type messages like, "\o/ ur so kewl in the KT - I wish I cud b like u. Can I hold ur coat whilst you drive it?"

 

[Mike_Nomad]

Relax Nestor.... you're gona pop a blood vessel!!

 

[Nestor Makhno]

AIIIIEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!! Look at his sig!!!

It's a conspiracy I tell you!!!



and the number on the tank is in mirror writing - it's like the Da Vinci Code all over again!!! (but not as crap) ...or maybe some kind of Devil worship thing. ...or something.

*gibber*

WAIT! Will the other vehicle be a tank?

 

[Gunwing]

I love the model of the Panzer 4 H Good job! And I hope the new map is somthing like Kongsplats aswell! I love that map it has both infantry and tank warfare! I realy hope the new map is Kharkov from the mod. That map rocked!

As for the other new vehicle heres hopeing it's a German Scout car!

 

[Heinz]

two thumbs up!!

 

[Diamond]

That thing looks so freaking bad ass.

 

[Murphy]

The first an the last shot are wallpaper material!

Awesome news, can

Since we're all into sideskirts, didn't the StuG get outfitted with the sideskirts too?

Thanks and map speculation

Thanks and map speculation

Thank you Tripwire, i really like being a tank commander so this is a nice adition. As for the new map, i think it will be the battle of Kursk because that one was also in 1943. Looking forward to the update.

Tanks are fun, but the soul of RO is the bolt-action rifle.

I hope we get some changes to emphasize those more.

 

[SheepDip]

I'm looking forward to having a go on it, and I hope the other new vehicle isn't just a new heavy tank. I've said this plenty of times but to make the game more interesting requires the introduction of the types of vehicle you don't see peppered around in other places.

Looks good Devs!

I am also pleased to hear you are working on the penetration code for vehicles. In that vein I do have two questions:

1. Will it be possible to kill the crew inside of tanks by penetrating the crew compartment?

2. Will the bug where the BA64 and Skdfz251 driver is vulnerable to grenades (even when buttoned) be fixed by the new penetration code?


Thanks!

indubitably

Thanks!

No...that is a mutator being created by Beppo and geogob. http://www.redorchestragame.com/forum/showthread.php?t=13310

 

[MILK]

so many thanks now I realy want to see how many bad talking will be here about next update after its release

 

[Pizzagrenadier]

Doh...right, the L/48! Crap!

Not quite as much ass behind it as the L/56, but the L/48 still talks.

As much as I'd love to see the Puma (sdkfz 234/2)...there were only 100 made, and a lot of them saw service on the western front with Panzer Lehr, 2nd Panzer and 1st SS (among a few others, but in very small numbers). It's debateable if they even saw service on the eastern front...(anyone can confirm?). While the Panzer IV H is my fave tank, the Puma is my fave armored car...so sexy!

 

[Krull]

Great addition for the churmanz. Nice job.

Go on, give the Ruskies the SU-85.

Next map type? CA i hope.

Thanks.

 

[Helmi]

I hope the next vehicle will be a german truck(car) to balance the russian clown car!

I'd love to see a BMW motorbike with sidecar

Better than a lousy truck plus it's armed!

 

[Faustnik]

SU-85.

Good choice!

KV-1E or BT-7 would be even better!

And the best possible choice: lend-lease M4A2!

(Yeah I know, but, I'm a die-hard Sherman fan. )
