The German assault on Nemanitsa initiates its first push in strength against the outer Soviet defense line.

I just started up Fire and Rubble for the first time, and the very first casualties of the module were caused by one of my Soviet sniper teams. They took down two Germans within seconds, one shot each. These Soviet snipers are awfully lethal. 
Meet Efreitor Kapitonov:

 
The battle had only just begun, and I had an infantry company advancing toward a German-held village. I was taking some sporadic MG fire here and there, but nothing serious, and no casualties yet. Kapitonov himself took a burst of MG fire as he was moving into position. Eventually some Germans were spotted. Kapitonov's partner took a shot at a German rifleman at 320 meters, taking him down instantly.

 
The German was hit less than a second after he fired his rifle. It looked like he was hit right in the gut. Ouch.

 
Only two or three seconds later, Kapitonov himself took a shot at a German machine-gunner at 400 meters.

 
The last thing the German saw:

 
It looked like he was hit through his left shoulder. Lying prone, the bullet probably would have went through the shoulder and down his back. 

4.26.1945, Battle of Berlin rages on. A Soviets sappers team advances through rubbles under Artillery support. They setup a demo charge to breach the wall, then storm the next building while under two companies Sappers and tank raiders overwatch
 

Hello again, with the release of Fire and Rubble I have been working a lot on adapting existing mods to the new module. That includes the great GUI mod by Juju who has sadly ended support for it.
I have added or adapted weapon icons from other iterations of Juju's mods, as well as branches, ranks, etc. However I will tell you that I have made some changes to it that suit my preference more, so you may have to dig into the files to revert to default.

Such firm eyes!

I will fight for german UNTIL death!

Great screenies, Macilse and t34!

Both half-tracks back away from the small arms fire. The lead HT MG gunner attempts to engage the offending Soviet(s?) and is immediately cut down for his efforts. The HTs back off for half a minute while friendly tanks and infantry saturate the strong point with area fire again. Then, they re-engage, one HT on each side. Despite the huge amount of MG fire being put on the strongpoint, Soviet defenders still manage to survive, take shots and even inflict casualties on the German infantry, who have paused their advance to engage and limit their exposure from movement.
As the rear HT circles behind the strongpoint, another Hero of the Soviet Union emerges, braving a hail of bullets from multiple MGs to hurl grenades at the approaching German vehicle. It doesn't look good for the German crew...

 
The first grenade goes wide, but the fearless Soviet pulls another and is about to let it fly when the lead half-track on the other side lets go a jet of liquid flame that finds its mark, ending the immediate threat to the second HT. Whew!

 
Meanwhile, enemy air, which has been circling seemingly forever, finally appears ready to attack. Thank goodness the Germans have strong AA support.

 
Wait...

 
Nevermind.

  At least the radio man got out. ☹️

Mobile recon kubels in to scout out the torched strongpoint on the right. So far, all clear.

 
Meanwhile, the flame half-tracks reposition to support the assault on the strongpoint on the left. Friendly infantry is very glad for the help!

 
Uh-oh... friendly suppression fire on the left side of the strong point eases up for the incoming half-tracks a bit too soon and Guards-Iron-Man-Ivan doesn't let the opportunity go to waste. SMG fire immediately erupts from the next target area and hoses the lead half-track. Gulp!

I feel his pain. Gotta' wait for something to arrive in the mail before I can buy. Could be up to a week.
Aaaarrrgh! 😫

Holy crap! This is big news! I’m surprised this managed to slip by unnoticed by many. Understandable with the FR frenzy. 
 
A performance upgrade would be major in my opinion. To me, it seems like there is a lot more that would benefit from said improvement, beyond just a simple player quality of life FPS boost. 

From his overwatch position, a tank commander observes as his comrades work to overcome a duo of strongpoints. On the right, flame halftracks incinerate the hiding remnants of anti-tank gun crews. On the left, elements of his tank platoon join Grenadiers closing in on the remaining defenders.
Despite intense support fire from tanks and machine guns, the Soviet Guard infantry there continue to inflicted casualties on the advancing Germans. A radio call is placed to the half-tracks...
