I wanted to place a destroyed bridge today but wasn't able to do so. If its not possible I would like it to be an option in the future. If it is possible already, can someone please explain how The pic below is from a current battle. It took a lot of 150 mm shells before it collapsed.

ROF grog... Small arms grog..

Superb news. Cant wait for this and big thanks to Mord and DC for all the work that has gone into this.

Yes, are we talking weeks, months or quarters? Super happy this is possible but as poesel71 I want to get a rough estimate so I can plan upcoming games.

+1 Id love for this to happen.

Thanks. Wounder how ammo loadout is affected? The fuel needs to be stored somewhere? I knew the range was long but not 130 meters long. Thats impressive. Any grog that can inform if it was a typical engagement range or if it usually was used much closer to target?

Nice PvtW! Thanks for sharing!

Is the OT-34 able to use the main gun (or is it just a dummy)?

Yes. Its a TRP. Target reference point. It will increase units accuracy targeting the area (as long as they dont redeploy I believe). Artillery will be called in faster and the spotter dosent have to see the area. If the spotter is killed you cant call the mission off. It will continue until finished. Once the mission has started you can move the spotter, he doesnt need LOS after mission start. I think I have answered accurately. Sure to be corrected otherwise

March. From opening of preorders til release is usually around six weeks.

Nice! Will there be any other additions, like the German grenade bundle? Or will that be part of the tank assault abstraction as up til now?

I think we might see Flakpanzer IV Ostwind, Jagdtiger, Sturmtiger, Hummel for the Germans. Soviets will probably see the SU-100 and the KV? Dont limit yourself to Bagration. The family covers Ostfront 44-45.

Bill, is the artwork for the maxim mg ready? If so, it would be lovely to see a pic or two

Yes Steve, any thoughts on this? Not on the list, or far back on the list? Would love to see it return.

IntruderPl, You already can.. just put the waypoint next to the door you want to exit from and then go from there.

Looking good PvtW! Keep em coming!

Elvis, how about some up close and personal pictures of those Hetzers

Well, Im just happy that BFC gives us the choice to pick download only.

Beorix, Well, in short, BFC has changed thier bussines model since the CMBB days. Now you will typicaly see a base game (head of a game family) with several modules and/or packs released. The family covers a set time frame. If Im not mistaken, Red Thunder will cover Bagration and up til the end of the war. We are sure to see moduels released that will include Waffen-SS and other formations/units/vehicles for both the Axis and Soviets. Its not a viable option for BFC to include all units in one game if they wouldent charge a very high fee. It would also take much longer to complete. Now they will release titles faster and people have to options to buy the base games, modules and packs that they like and feel is valuable to them. The new engine also allows for new engin improvmenets to be brought back to other titles. For example, the new improvements in Red Thunder (such as hit decals etc.) will be able to be purchased for a small fee in a upgrade for CMBN and/or CMFI. I for one think the new bussines model is really good. Sure one wants to pay as little as possible and get as much as possible for every $ spent - but the model must be economically sound for BFC. I think the value of every base game, module and upgrade released so far has been very good. 2 cents from another non native english speaker

Im guessing on the latter. The type of weapons are abstracted and I havent seen any indication from BF that this is about to change (at least not anytime soon).

Thats great news . What about PT and JonS?

Remember that because the soldiers are closer togerher than in real life (more bunching up etc.) the HE effect is scaled down to mitigate this. So with this abstraction in mind I think things are working as intended (a driect hit might not be exactly a direct hit etc).

Digital only for me as well. Used to always pre-order but with high shipping and custom fees I dont feel the physical copy is worth it. I'll buy as soon as the dl only option opens.

Id also love to see a hetzer!

It will still be larger than today , and in the future plans for bigger is still there.
