Next thing you know, there will be a new version of Orel out there with it on it. Wish there was a version with some of the AT guns.

*facepalm*

Totally {[AGREED]}........

Seriously [hgt40], quit bracketing everything.

Personally I think we need to get away from all the [UBER] tanks, and start adding other common ones.

Maybe even start adding in more Vehicles.

Add the BMW 730 w/ Zundapp sidecar (with an MG on it of course). This is fast and could be a good counter to the Russian BA-64.

Also add the BA-10 and the SDKFZ 222 as better AFV's.

It would be good though to still see the tank destroyers one of these days like the Hetzer, Jagdpanzer IV & V Marder series, Su-76i, Su-85 & Su-100. I was surprised when some WWII buffs where not as familiar with these machines as with the heavy monsters in the late part of WWII.

to be historically accurate there should be a kingtiger in front of the brandenburger tor on pariserplatz, owning the soviets who are trying to get accross the spree like on kriegstadt, shooting over konigsplatz. :eek:
after pwning the soviets, the kingtiger was called back inside the city and later took part in the escape attempt.

Yes the Breakout, a few Stug III G's managed to break out of Berlin as well.

Whats wrong with having all of the greatest tanks in ww2 in game. What other sim game will ever have this number of diff kinds of tanks in game. I think its great just missing a few great ones tho.[King Tiger] [Jagdpanther] [Jagdtiger] red orchestra will be the most complete most powerful [real] tank game ever made.

(Please) {stop} <!>

As it is we pretty much have nearly all of the stock tank maps set in 1944 or 1945 with there is only one earlier war mid-warish map set in 1942 (RO-Bondarevo) and 1 late 1943 (RO-KrivoiRog) map not counting infantry maps or any of the custom maps that have become part of RO. So RO is very much geared towards being a late war game we just lack some of the nice late vehicles is all.

Dunno exactly what Vehicles do the western front mod plan, but after they are released, seeing some Ost Front maps featuring lend lease Mathildas, Valentines, Churchills, Shermans, Stuarts and Scout Cars would be cool...

i never realised that, what is frustrating about RO is that late-war fans like me think the game is biased towards early-war vehicles and maps. and early war-fans think it is biased towards late-war action.
this is probably because i know more about late-war stuff, so when i see the RO vehicles it is obvious for me that almost none can accurately represent anyhting that happened in the last 2 years of the war.
besides many errors on the tank models, one needs to look no further than the skins of german tanks. the most late-war skin type used in game for german tanks is the 2-tone pattern typical to 1943...

Yes, what frustrates me is that we have an Ost-front game and except for a custom map the Battle of Kursk was left of of the game-:(
