That's a great addition! In fact I already made a mod of it using the hull from R2V's Firefly Hybrid :

 
If I hear of an extremely late M4 75mm variant though, it would be the M4A1E9.
It was basically a "poor man's" HVSS suspension made by extending the VVSS's track connectors and achieving the same width and thus ground pressure. I believe these would start being present on the front around March 1945.
It seems only M4A1s were remanufactured, no M4's.

Seen here in service with the 2nd French Armored division in late April 1945 :

Here is an article on this.

To recapitulate, I hope the Sherman IC Firefly Hybrid (Commonwealth + Poles) and the Sherman IIA (Polish faction only) will be ported from R2V.

Thank you, for both your kind words re- my cancer treatment. And for your explanation about the Shermans. As a FCUM-ite, I can't see the word "BURY" without "MRE Louder than bombs" coming to mind. 

You can tell a Sherman I Hybrid from the hull hatches and the fact that the front hull is made from cast armor while the rest is welded.
Late model hulls, on which most of the Sherman Hybrid (or in US nomenclature, Composite) production was based on, had hatches larger than the earlier ones.

By the way, congratulations on your recovery!

At least I tried. Perhaps I should post these in the Ukrainian weather thread after all.

LOL.  Yes you tried 😂.  And I totally agree with you for what it's worth.

The Sherman Tulip was two RP-3 rockets on a fixed rail on each side of the turret. They were set to a certain distance and there was no way to aim them apart from that, so its use as an off-map asset would be dubious. It was clearly designed to be used in direct fire.
As far as I know it was a modification unique to the Guards Armoured Division in Northwest Europe.
Here is an excerpt from a combat action in the Netherlands in April 1945:
"Tulip equipped Sherman tanks, belonging to the 1st Armoured Battalion, Coldstream Guards, 5th Guards Armoured Brigade, Guards Armoured Division, were involved in the action near the bridge over the Twente Canal between Enschede and Hengelo, in the Netherlands, on the 1st April 1945.
Lt Boscawen’s No.2 Troop of five tanks was leading the way at maximum speed down a concrete canal road to take the bridge by surprise. No.2 Squadron’s armored car had managed to rush over the bridge first. Sergeant Caulfield’s Sherman Firefly had turned right to cross the bridge and follow the scout car but spotted a German four gun 8.8 cm flak battery to his left. He opened fire as he crossed the bridge.
Lt Boscawen’s Sherman Mk.V tank was following. His tank fired its 75 mm (2.95 in) gun and machine guns at the German gun emplacement. It was protected by high earth mounds so he launched both his rockets. At the same time, the canal bridge was blown up by German engineers and his tank was hit in the petrol tank by a German shell that caused the tank to catch fire."
If that is the case then I think it's a bummer, but fair enough. It was a pretty rare and special vehicle though quite representative of its timeframe and theater.
The Ostwind definitely served on the Western Front though, there is no reason to omit it considering it is present in F&R.

The 1st Polish Armoured Division used Sherman IIAs, they were refitted with them in Holland so I think they would have been available around the start of CMFB's timeframe. There is no reason not to have them in since they're in R2V, they just need the MTO markings removed and to be put into the TO&E.
Here are some pictures of them.


I found a caption for this specific one: "Sherman IIA of the Polish 10th Armoured Cavalry Brigade, KO'd in the Netherlands in late 1944"

Here's a temporary fix for the SA voices. Extract to the Data/Z folder.

From what I've seen, the DPM did not see much combat use, if at all, during WW2. I have chosen to replace it with the more accurate DT-27 tank machine gun in infantry use.
This has UI icons for vanilla and Juju's UI. It does not change magazine size or any other specs on the machine gun.

Here's a couple "fixed" models if anyone wants them. The file includes a T-55A model with the KTD-2 removed and a T-55 model with the DShK AAMG removed as per the menu icons (I've tested it in game and the loader will still fire the AAMG even though it's invisible...).
https://www.mediafire.com/file/285ffemz7n3cjem/T-55+fixes.rar/file
 
Also, it seems that there's two kinds of loader's hatches on the T-55s. Can you enlighten me on what the variants correspond to? I imagine the flatter one is from the early models.
In the game they both have the higher cupola.

Hello everyone, after getting an idea and spending most of my night putting the iconic turret stowage bin on every British Sherman in CMBN, here it is:
https://www.mediafire.com/file/552xj6xe8aleibv/British+Sherman+storage+boxes.rar/file
The storage box itself has its own texture. The second texture for each of them is transparent so they don't show up on every tank. It uses the same template as the Sherman IC turret texture so if you want to modify it, you can replace it with another Sherman IC Firefly turret texture.
The retextures I'm using are not included (they're from Aris and DKC's wonderful 21st Army Group mod). The included storage box texture is the vanilla one.

What I mean by that is that I improve on stuff that's already in the game. I don't try to make entire new theaters, that's your deal really.

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.
