New preview and screens

The question is: What does the singer of Rammstein do in a russian uniform? ...

He was spy then

 

[u-s-e-r]

I think the menu's need some work, e.g. the voice command menu seems a bit strange, amateurish and stretched strangely. Also in some of the screens the lack of details in the gameworld really sticks in your eye, specifically the ground.

It's funny how people here tend to react to constructive criticism.

Maybe he started singing "Feuer Frei!" and the russian thought "wait, that's german. SHOOT HIM!" D:

I failed out of humor school several times, and thusly my comment regarding heart shots went over many heads.

Oh, and that "ufo" you guys debated about, I'm 99% sure that was just an AT round, but the speculation was entertaining.

Also, I'm totally not watching pingbacks. At all...

Does weapon condition have any effect on the attributes of the weapon, or is it purely aesthetic?

You'll find out when the beta is released.

Then seeing a contorted Russian body with a chest wound that actually looked sickeningly real, the way the clothes around the wound seem to be wrinkled/contgorted and bleed through. It really looks like something took a chunk out of the guy instead of typical video game gorey Soldier of Fortune type wounds.

Sorry to burst your bubble, but I think that's a Guards Assault badge, not a wound.

Yes it`s badge. On better pic u`ll see very well badge.
But i see on some screens, wounds system would be in game.

So, it looks like there is only 3 playable crew in each tank. We know you cannot be the loader. So that accounts for the T-34 crew (Driver, Radio, Loader, Gunner {which acted as commander}). Now the panzer IV crew has 5 members, (Driver, Radio, Loader, Gunner, Commander). Are all 5 crew members in the tank? Or did they reduce it to 4 and make the gunner the commander?

The Panzer 4 has a NonPlayabe Loader - but all other crew positions (Commander, Gunner, Driver, Radio Operator/Hull MG Gunner) are available for player control. So if you want you can operate a P4 with 3 of your friends ;-)

Is there anyway to go into a battle with a pre determined squad? Or is there an invite only option ingame?

Why does this screenshot show only 3 total positions, unless it's old or I'm seeing it wrong?

Probably custom server settings.

I'm not sure actually, other then it might be a limitation dictated by the current menu interface. In the P4, 4 positions are playable. I'll ask around!

Ugh, right when I thought the game was gonna be perfect, they say THIS?!

I wouldve been a MUCH better loader than the AI!

It'd be interesting to see what TWI could do to make the loader non-AI, but it'll likely be a spamload of quick time events.

I hope you are correct. Stuff that make the teams handle differently should be highlighted rather than downplayed.

I thought the plan was to have the commander also be the gunner (player wise). 4 players in a tank would rock though.

The Russians have this, but the German tanks back then had 4(5) crew members

A couple of things - it certainly is a beta. There are some telling chats in some of these screens related to rendering errors and not dimming indoors:

And this one of damage not taking. I know they'll get things sorted out, but hopefully not push back the release even further:

Additionally, I wish that there wasn't always so much haze. It's like you're in a desert sandstorm all the time. I know that during battles, it was probably this way due to dust getting thrown up, but it seems over used to me.
