Juno is In our list to be 1 of our bonus maps

Awesome,can't wait to play this mod.But i have one question to the devs:
Are you planning to add new ambient sounds(background battles,...)because the old sounds are getting "old"
Believe it or not ,but a map with atmospheric(brutal)sounds makes it much more intense to play a map!

 

[Aeneas2020]

I think 3rd inf Dave (one of our Canadian testers) would kill us if we didn't do Juno at some point

I would like to suggest some great ambient sounds for darkest hour,please don't use the same(stock )sounds(which doesn't mean they are bad of course,but we heard them already so much).I like the brutal ambient sounds from the original dod very much,check this out,just amazingly atmospheric:

What kind of server system?

What kind of server system?

Can DH carry out server coexistence like CC with RO?
Or do you become an independent server like MN?

 

[Aeneas2020]

We've already stated before many times that DH will be released as a seperate mod to RO.

(awaits flaming by people)

 

[tochiri]

ah sorry thanks

 

[Aeneas2020]

no need to say sorry wasn't getting at you as such

I am happy about the information as a server administrator.

It is to have overlooked such information.. I am foolish.

Hi, it looks very interesting and nice.

Can`t await the release. Sometimes I wish that "May" means first of may!
Especially the tank-maps look very interesting. It would be nice, if some of the great new german tank models would come too for this great tank-maps (K

Can't wait, so excited! By any chance, will there be a possibility of engine failure, like the King Tiger's?

Great work!

Highly unlikely to be honest....also the KT probably wont be featuring in a release 1 map but will be present in one of our bonus map releases.

Would not really make sense since none of the tanks in game have the possibility of breaking down. We would need a map much bigger than the biggest map in Ro in order for the Tiger II to start having issues (if the crew is inexperienced and pushes the engine, possbily 10 to 20 times + bigger than RO-Orel or RO-KrivoiRog) Many tanks like the Pershing and IS-2 had the tendency to break down but it seems most ww2 literature ignores many of the issues of other vehicles and focuses predominately on the Tiger II's possible issues. Remember that German tank crews usually took care of their vehicles for example there were more King Tigers in operational service (in late 1944) than the much more common and techincally more reliable Panther tank and almost as many as the Panzer IV. Basically with regular matainence the Tiger II was as good as any other tank this is true for every vehicle without matainece every vehicle would break down!

There is a lot of Tiger II literature written by Thomas Jentz on the subject

 

[hsj40]

I dont want no break downs in game im ready for drive that King Tiger around its going to be fun when do the battle start.

 

[18Bravo]

10-20 times bigger than Orel? Hope it would include a railroad transport system implemented in, would hate to set incremental throttle to full, then come back 2 hours later to only find myself half way across the map in the middle of nowhere.

 

[TT33]

It would be impossible to map a map of that magnitude in RO and even if it were possible would people play it? Thats my point the Tiger II breaking down on the distances currently modeled in game is just redicuolus it would be like modeling a car to get a flat tire everytime you take it for a spin (less than 3 miles).

 

[Aeneas2020]

just for the record DH isn't making a map of that size (not even sure if its possible)...just before any rumours get stared

My god, why would anyone want to even play RO on a map that ridiculously big... you'd need a 2000 player server (at least) just to make it a somewhat believable experience.... the list could go on lol.















Lets do it.

For the people here that say DH should be integrated into RO, could this be featured in an update for a future RO if TW decided to continue working on the Eastern Front as thier next project and include shared intros, loading screens, etc from the other mods ? If DH2, MN2, RO2 and CC2 become as one would their be a new single name for it ?
