Jumpete Posted January 31, 2021 Share Posted January 31, 2021 Glad to hear that F&R is in pre-order. Only a 'but', looking the TO&E I can se that Pz IV J latest is not there. Is a bit disappointment for me since I was waiting to have it in FB or at least in this module. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Late PzIV J is already in CM:RT. Look 09/44 in CM:RT. That is the same PzIV late that is in CM:FB. Look 01/45 in CM:FB or 05/45 in CM:RV. What do you mean with "latest PzIV J" ?

Ts4EVER Posted January 31, 2021 Share Posted January 31, 2021 One thing that caught my eye: the StG44 is listed as a new weapon for the Germans, even though it already was in the basegame. Oversight or is there some cool new variant? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm referring to the latest production (Jan'45-May'45) characterized by: - It has 3 return rollers (instead that the typical 4 of Pz IV). - The replaced of schurzen by wire-mesh panels. - The addition of two flame-suppressing mufflers in the exhaust system, as you can observe on the JgPz IV/70(V) (late) of FB. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bubba883XL Posted January 31, 2021 Share Posted January 31, 2021 Fantastic, jumped to joy when I saw this. Far more exciting than any new A-list title currently in the trend. Finally I can get my iron cross if I win the campaign and change the war, the fuher promised me new wonder weapons. And schnapps.

Ah I see. I guess Battlefront has decided it isn´t worth it, because in game terms there is no difference to the "late" version. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sgt.Squarehead Posted January 31, 2021 Share Posted January 31, 2021 Sweet! So I guess it must be time to sart nagging about the forthcoming CM:BS module..... @BFCElvis could you remind me what that's called again? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This might be because the Pz.IV Ausf J Late is already in the TOE, but I wouldn't rule out seeing some changes to the models & textures with this pack.....I too would be a bit disappointed not to at least have the option of 'Thoma Schurzen'. 2 hours ago, Ts4EVER said: One thing that caught my eye: the StG44 is listed as a new weapon for the Germans, even though it already was in the basegame.

Double Deuce Posted January 31, 2021 Share Posted January 31, 2021 (edited) I've been working up details for a Crimean Offensive based campaign (yes I know it's a few months before the CMRT timeframe but still) and I have to say, it's really good to see the addition of partisans. Time to double down on my design notes and get cracking on those maps. Edited January 31, 2021 by Double Deuce grammar 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
danfrodo Posted January 31, 2021 Share Posted January 31, 2021 So with this thread active, how the folks will I know when pre-orders are actually active? They'll all think it's this bait & switch thread. Maybe continue this conversation in a new thread w a different title? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They'll all think it's this bait & switch thread. Maybe continue this conversation in a new thread w a different title? Emails are sent to all pre-order buyers when it is available for download. After some time (usually between 6 and 24 hours) forum and website home page announcements are made. This gives time for the upload to propagate the servers and find out if something "catastrophic" is wrong with the installers. I don't think that has ever happened but as Spock said to Saavik in Star Trek 2: The Wrath of Khan " For everything there is a first time, Lieutenant." 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also noticed no Gebirgsjaeger units for the Heer. The TO&E looks kind of unfinished for the Soviet formations as well. Glad to see the Soviet Cav uniforms activated in that screenshot!

Some [scenarios] are not marked as "Final" yet What does this mean for those who are pre-ordering? Another couple of weeks to wait or "when it's finished" as the mantra has been going for a long time?

Oversight or is there some cool new variant? No, I would guess it got flagged as there are now formations specifically calling for it as part of TO&E, rather than just a random substitute. And I guess technically the MP44 didn't become the StG44 until the fall of 1944. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Historically, the gap between pre-orders and release date is 4 to 8 weeks. Rome to Victory was the BIG exception to that. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I haven't for the last few releases. Last time I calculated it the average delta was 55 days. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Awesome! On a side note the Armored Luftwaffe Divisions... is this the Herman Goering Division? I believe they did see some action on the Eastern Front.
