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. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And to think....At one point you considered pulling it out of the module. It's definitely one of the most appropriately named battles. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. 3 hours ago, Battlefront.com said: Certainly.

Andrew H. Posted April 27, 2021 Share Posted April 27, 2021 I think it's only a short step from Schwimmwagen to cavalry and bicycle troops. Both of which were used more than the Pershing. Although, to be fair, none of them took out a King Tiger. Still. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dbsapp Posted April 27, 2021 Share Posted April 27, 2021 Some 10 years ago the bicycle theft was the most often crime in China. Now they have cemeteries for millions of used bicycles and you can easily rent one using you phone. Bicycle theft is almost gone. But it seems it migrated to Europe. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
