Interesting map... I'm waiting for more news. It'd be great to have Shermans DD for the first steps out the beach .
-
Will the battle packs come with new toys long time awaited such as KV's for RT or Stug IV for Normandy?
-
Not sure if it's a bug or only a slight oversight, but the Tiger I Mid still continues with the wheels of steel meanwhile that model in FB and FI received long time ago (and properly) the rubber covert on the wheels.
Another one bug: Tiger II lost (again) the glass in the turret periscopes, after received them in the upgrade to 4.0 engine.

Jumpete: Small correction: Nibelungenwerk or Nibelungenwerke - not Nibelungenwerfer.
Thanks for the correction and my apologies for the wrong. There are some germanic words which for me are impossible to write correctly, one of them is this and another one the name of the mortar carried on the WW2 german tanks turret.

I don't know when it will get into the game, but for sure it will arrive in a patch available to everybody.

Thanks you for considering the suggestions Steve. You and your team did a great work with F&R, congratulations.

Yup, this one slipped through unnoticed until now. Thanks for bringing it to our attention.
For the most part we focus our minor variants on ones that have an impact on performance (eg. ammo count). Usually there's physical changes that are obvious and so we do those too. In this case the PzIV J's final form was mostly physical changes that don't impact performance. That's not a reason for us to exclude it, just a good explanation as to why it hasn't been done. It's now on our ToDo List
Steve
Thanks for considering this. IMHO the main reason for including it in game is based on that the Pz IV continued being the backbone of the armoured forces including in those latest stages of the war. Ending 1944,Nibelungenwerfer was the only factory which worked on Pz IV since Vomag and Krupp focused theirs work on JgPz and Stugs. So the last Pz IV J viewed on the battlefield was that mentioned version. Only for that it deserves a place here.
P.D. When will it be included? In a future F&R patch? Next module for FB?

They are in there. One way, in a QB, select Panzer Battalion 44 (late), then at the bottom you can select what vehicles, as the screen cap below shows.
Also available as individual vehicles. (second picture).
I had the date set for February 45. Didn't check other dates.
(It's also in FB, BTW, by picking the same formation and it was already in RT)
Dave
I know that we have Pz IV J late, in fact, it is in the game since Red Thunder. I'm talking about the latest production serie (Jan'45-May'45) only build in the Nibelungenwerfer factory which showed clear visual differences regardind the rest of Pz IV's. Given that we have Tiger Late and Tiger Last with the only nuance of the amunition ammount, we shoud have that Pz IV version (IMO) which offered several distintive characteristics.

Well, as interesting as it might be to argue about how may angles can fit on the point of a pin, the Sturmtiger is still not going into F&R.
To correct (slightly) what someone said a few pages ago, I never said that if something fired a shot on a front then it would be included. What I probably said was that was the minimum to even get us to consider it. As far as we can tell the Sturmtiger saw absolutely no frontline combat on the Eastern Front. Therefore, it's not going to be included.
Compare this to the US Pershing heavy tank. A couple were present on the Western Front before the war ended. Would that be enough to add them? No. However, we have documented cases of them being involved in direct tank on tank combat. Sure, only a handful of incidents, but one of them resulted in knocking out a King Tiger. That's worthy of note!
Steve
We're talking about the lack of Sturmtiger, but what happen with the Pz IVJ latest production? The backbone of the last Panzer Divisions and it isn't in game!!!??!!!
The module is great but that gap is a big disapointment for me, especially when it already should has been in FB. -

P38Thank you so much for the news and the huge efforts that the team is doing for release the game. Now that the end is near the results looks like awesome.
I assume that since the TOE was uploaded on the website (January) several changes have happened. Can you bring us here a little upgrade of the TOE's?
Again thanks and keep the great work!

Yes. However, I'm not sure yet if we can make it work with games that Slitherine has not yet released.
After Cold War is released we'll be working with Slitherine on CMBN. Every 3 months or so another CM Family will get its turn. As with Shock Force 2 and Black Sea, all Modules/Packs get released at the same time as the Base Game, all will be up on Steam, and all Battlefront keys will work seamlessly for Steam.
Steve
First of all I'm sorry for the off-topic, but since the CMBN is in the pipeline for Steam, I suggest to dev team the possibility to include the Stug IV in the TOE.

If the delay brings them the M43 cap It will worth the waiting...but I'm afraid will not be the case...
It's possible, Steve spoke about soviets in winter dress wearing on the heads a mix of helmets and fur caps. So germans with M43 caps and helmets shouldn't be strange.
Also I hope to have heer troops with a mixture of M43 and M44 uniforms.
-
I'm agree with Aragorn2002. Why CW has a release date and FR hasn't? Apparently CW is more ambitious project since it's a full new family and FR is only a new module based in a base game with seven years old and with the mostly of the incoming stuff tested extensivily in others Battlefront WW2 tittles.
-
I feel about the increasing possibility to capture Berlin riding a T-72 sooner than on T-34.
-
Nice screenshots!. The one thing not convincing would be those soviet helmets. As stated previously in this very thread, I wish an helmet update before release.
-
Since we're talking about 'Now or Never', what about F&R release? Now ? Never?

I bet it won't. At least another couple of weeks. This module is cursed.
I hope that BFCElvis bring us some update of the development, not a release date but some info about how is the work status.
-
If the work was in an advanced development status around one week ago, how is it now? 97%? 98? Finished? Is the delay meaning that was included a bit more TOE?
Thanks. -

Yep, first of the WW2 titles in the Steam pipeline is CMBN, probably some time this summer. I wouldn't expect CMRT on Steam until 2022 (but there may well be surprises...).
Steve has said that RT (and its module) will be available on Steam ending this year. If BF releases a game by quarter, and knowing that next one ill be Cold War and next ,if there are not surprises, will be Normandy (in the third quarter), I'd wait RT in November or next Xmas.

The US will have transitioned fully to the M43 uniform by module's end I believe. No idea for the German's probably just a hodge podge of smocks and coats. The Brit's I don't know either... did their standard uniform change after 1944?
Technically germans should have a mix of M-43 and M-44 uniforms. Long time ago I asked if germans will receive M-44 in F&R, and the answer was affirmative (I remember that MikeyD was who answered me). So the texture should be available for FB module.

It was just a week(?) ago that Steve told me they needed textures for another vehicle he wants to add to the CMRT module. So that's a vehicle that wouldn't have been in the game if it had been released earlier. Schwimmwagen wasn't on the original vehicle list. Add to that a fair number of pretty impressive additional scenarios too. Heck, not even Russian partisans were on the original list! So the current Fire and Rubble is a bigger, better product than Fire and Rubble at the original hoped-for release date. It almost makes be wish Cold War would get delayed just to see what additional cool things would get added in the interim.
That sound really sweet. Truly I want to play the long awaited module but maybe is better wait a few more if we receive new toys. Only a doubt MikeyD (if you can answer):
Will F&R be released before Cold War game? -
Any new about the F&R release? I know that the time elapsed between preorder announcement and the official release is usually 6-8 weeks, but BFCElvis said in other post that the they planned to short that timeframe. Taking into account that probably the team is now busy working on Cold War beta, can we wait a release really soon? Is there still much to do?

NVA? you mean north Vietnamese army? Lol, am sure of they added them it wouldn't be with the Germans but us. If you meant that. But if not than o ain't got a scooby
NVA: Nationale Volksarmee (German Democratic Republic Army).

I'm not sure if Cold War will have future DLCs, it depends of the numbers of copies sale. I'd bet that numbers will be good, so probably we will see new addons at game. My two cents that a future DLC would be Bunderwehr vs. NVA. Another posibilities would be some NATO countries (UK, France, Canada, Holland, etc. ) vs Warsaw Pact countries (Poland, Czechoslovakia, Bulgaria, Hungary ...). Even, and thinking that the full game is moving in an hypothetical stage, participation of 'far countries' (for a Central Europe conflict background) such as Italy, Spain, Portugal, Yugoslavia, or a conflict expansion until Scandinavia. In any case all this sound interesting.

No such tank was made. It was incorporated into M4A2 production with the switch to the 76mm gun.
You're right, my mistake. I was referring to last versions of Shermans with the glacis sloped 47º.
-
Days ago Steve told about the possibility to include Jagdtigers in the new module. Any new about that?
By the way, and talking around TO&E, will we see M4A2 (75)W (in the screenshoots showed we didn't see that version) as Lend-lease vehicle?.
Any chance for Jagdtiger G2 and Tiger II Porsche?
CMRT Vehicle Pack?
in Combat Mission Red Thunder
Posted
100% agree. I would like to have a vehicle pack for RT. There are a lot of vehicles and tanks that can be added to the game. By soviet side we could get KV1-S, KV85 and maybe some earliest KV models still in service ( same with first T-34 versions survivors and deployed with second line units).
By german side I'm thinking on subversions such as Jagdpanther G2, Jagdtiger Porsche, Tiger II Porsche (used at least one or two in Balaton offensive) More captured material (as Sherman) and very early german models reconverted . And please, ... A TRUE ... PzIVJ Late.
