any news maybe

Myself and a few of the other devs had holidays during August which has delayed some of the final testing/fixes and of course the PR tracks.

We're pretty close, and I just got back today from the ATL and should prob get back into the swing of things in the up coming days.

Stay tuned; we haven't forgotten about anyone :]

Oh ok then,I/We understand

 

[jackyle]

I am really excited about the update, but release it when your ready. It's going to be worth it.

Yeap.. we're still doing QA on the patch. :]

Soon.. I know it's months past our original hopeful target.

The Good news is there's already stuff mostly done for 1.4 patch, so the 1.3 -> 1.4 timeline will be much quicker then this 1.2 -> 1.3 timeline.

Sorry it is taking so long though.. but we wanna try and make sure it's right as much as we can the first time.. hang in there guys.

Congrats to the MN team for making RO even better. The tanks and Italians are such a great addition!

 

[Atomskytten]

Drooool...It looks so good that I need a change of shorts Can't wait to try it out! Have begun propaganda to force friends to play MN

Mathildas are awesome, I feel like I'm in a KV1 (not S) against panzers 3... Only, I get my tracks shot of far more often than in OF... I might have to take that into account, and angle less... Also, what's the use of that left half-opened hatch for the driver ?
The vickers is fun. Ineffective, but fun
The new SMLE is superb.
Didn't get to try out the rest of the new content, but I look forward to.

Great mod guys! The Italian model with round hat I guess, where is the feathers or plume its supposed to have ? I see in the video but not in my game. Also all the other new tanks and weapons are excellent!

The feathers were worn only by the Bersaglieri troops.. both Sidi and Bardia should have Bersaglieri roles.

I just asked the guy that did the model and animation:

A: research indicates thats how much the hatch opened
B: its a neat way to guide how much to angle your tank by
C: its their in case the periscope gets taken out

Right now there's no ability to disable the periscope, but it's there in case we do add it

hmm, well, you can't see farther than 3 meters from the tank with it...

Another question (well, 2 questions actually) : the VIckers mounts a .50 cal HMG right ? I suppose that s the primary fire, while the secondary is the MMG, has it got any sort of AP capacity ?

The .50 did fire AP rounds; however it's penetration ability is to weak to damage pretty much any tank.
It will however rip APCs and soft-skin vehicles up quite nicely.

 

[Sidus Preclarum]

Thanks.
Has it a chance of damaging tracks ?
(yeah, sorry for the avalanche of questions... )

*edit* oh, and thanks for the team-tanking yesterday, Shadrach... That was ace.

it was only ever required to open far enough to flick your cigarette through it.

 

[jackyle]

You guys did a brilliant job, thanks so much.

These mode definitly need Armored Beast mode for tanks battles. At now tank battles are the same like in original RO which is more arcade :/

 

[JCoquillon]

We plan to beef up the armoured combat in future releases, but we won't be using AB mutator. We'll impmelement any new features and enhancements ourselves. For now though the key was to get in tank combat at all. Improving it, is only possible once it exists

 

[Franc-Tireur]

Thanks a lot , great mod really , lots of fun !
if someone would have the idea of making a Bir Hakeim map in the future , it would be awesome
