hello guys,i was thinking....italians were alongside the germans for a relatively long time,in all fronts...russia,africa,france(my grandpa was in france,his brother in russia)sicily,also the balkans,that would be nice to add in HOS some italian weapons or vehichels or also uniforms,mixed to the german ones,in some maps,as there were around 230.000 italian soldiers in the eastern front,with tanks and etc

after all in RO 1 the allies had the bren gun in certain maps,which is not really a russian vehicle...so why shouldn't we add some italian stuff here and there?

Mare Nostrum (North Africa) has all these things, have you played that?

Nearly all articles pertaining to Stalingrad hardly mention the low amount of Italian involvement. The units that were present were only support/logistical. I have yet to come across a single reference to an Italian front line unit, I await to be proven incorrect.

They didn't fight inside the City itself, but Stalingrad (and the scope of HoS) is way more than that.

I don't know about Italians, but I'd really like to see the Romanians, since they played a huge role in (not) holding the flanks of the city. They coudl also import a few things form CC. It's fine for me to have only Russians and Germans on release, but on further updates they could add other forces such as the Romanians, Italians or Hungarians.

This^

Adding a whole new faction, along with a full compliment of weapons, some vehicals, voices and the maps they should be fighting on, is no small task, and thus, i think we can all forget about seeing it happen in the release version of the game.

But as post-release DLC, it's certainly possible, probably not as the first thing to happen, i think at first we'll see more vehicals and maps added (2 new vehicals are allready confirmed as the first updates, but if RO1 is anything to go by, maps will be next), but later on, yeah, they might just go that route (they might even get some modders on the job, if the whole Allstar-modteam experiment goes as well as we all hope it will).

Not exactly DLCs, but free updates like they did with ROOST. They already said they won't be releasing any kind of paid DLC.

It's the same thing really, DLC = DownLoadable Content, it can be applied to both free and payware addons of any kind.

Ofcourse, as a more recent development, most companies have started charging for all DLC they release (even small map packs and such, which was the sort of thing that used to allways be free), they just don't do the free stuff anymore, so a lot of people have started associating "DLC" with "it costs money" :(

I hope they will add Italians and Romanians just to see more weapons :IS2:
