Sneaky Peaky for the next update!

As you might know, we are going to release the next patch when Relic releases his next (and probably last) update. Meanwhile, we are going to post screenshots of the reward units (or fixed units) that will be implemented on 1.40.

SU-122


SU-76


SU-76 will replace Sherman 76 and SU-122 is reward unit for something else ;). Sherman 76 will be for the US faction, who doesn't have a proper unit like this(after getting a paint job ;D).

Jagdpanzer IV


M-30


ZiS-3


Tiger Ace


KV-1


KV-85


Naval Infantry


IS-3


IS-3


IS-3


Nashorn

Uahaha +1  :D

Great job Devs!  ;)

Not to one-up the translators but I've USED the new units. Just thought I'd throw that out there.

Seriously, the next patch will knock everyone's socks off. We have to have a massive tourney as soon as it's out.

A tournament? I don't think the Soviets are balanced enough yet for that, are they? Purely going by what i've heard, of course...

Just delay 1.4s release in favour of better blance, then I'd be happy about a turner and also I'd love to join.

We had a rather successful tourney 4 patches ago, so I'd say its defo time for one. Tourneys ARE the best way of exposing balance issues and exploits that help us immensely. Plus, everyone said they had loads of fun really

One of many things, that I was never able to comprehend is that "I don't know, but I've been told..." crap.

Is it really that hard? After all, most of what people know is taught to them by other people. Or so i've been told... ;D

I'll give you a hint....don't listen what people say when its easy to find out yourself.

Its like some dudes post in GR saying...'I played EF1.0...terrible balance, uninstalled after 5 game and never played again. EF is horrible'

Clearly talking out of his ass the v1.00 is as different to the current build as day is to night... but hey, ignorance is bliss I guess.....

True, but the problem is that i have no way of finding out myself, so all i really know about your armies i have read here. ;)

About Su-76 is that  Polish White eagle without crown on the turret ?

What crown??

What do you guys mean by American faction and Sherman 76?

Also, does this mean a cameo from the Polish will be in?

The Lend-Lease Sherman76 is that is the call in for breakthrough doct, is now going to be a reward for american doct :)

I dont know who country will be guest appearing specifically but we know they will have foreign troops in ostheer ;D I hope Italians

Why do you want to kill italians?  Some bad neighbors?

I wanted to be the Italians :) But I didnt think of it like that I do play a lot of SU ;Dso I guess I would be killing them lots :(

Ok, let me clarify things about the sherman....

When you make the 76mm upgrade for the US sherman, you get the same sheman with a longer barrel.

That never existed in real life. The sherman with a 76mm gun , had a redesigned larger turret, which is the one you see in the soviet lend lease sherman.
So, what we're going to do is make a 'visual change', so that when you upgrade the US sherman to the 76mm variant you get a model with the correct larger turret(current model for Lend lease sherman)

Understood?

So the specs are still the same then?

of course....we don't mess with vanilla balance unless we really have to

But you do with reward units, so i wasn't sure if it was going to be a reward unit or not.

That means soviet sherman 76 will be used on US as the sherman 76 (using amis skin ofc).

I wish that will not affect skinpacks(I had problem with m26)

You'll probably need to adjust or remove(if you don't know how to adjust) any sherman skin you have.

Skinpacks are really not our problem

Sherman 76 will effectively be like the M36, simply a visual change

Polish People's Army was made in communism style, so they thrown away all "capitalistic" and "monarchistic" symbols of "violence" and "oppression".
Polish Army on the West was using Eagle with gold Crown, because they saved symbols and traditions.

I still dont know why one would play vcoh anymore now that we have EF. It's MOAR balanced ;D

Please tell me the now US Sherman 76 won't ave the Soviet tank commander in it.

why would it have a soviet crewman? ::)

Maybe part of a lend lease? :D

Or maybe before the Soviets gave it back, the poor guy just happend to take a nap inside? :D

Nah, as the tank is returned to US, the commander and crew have a new SU-76 tank to drive :P.

I think I see the gun of the Su-122 is somewhat... lower than normal with turret. It's look like not sticked to the turret... Am I delusion or It is? @.@

...What? ???

That means i updated this post. Look at the OP.

Oh, O.K.. So... Where can i find the "OP"? That means overpowered, right? Or Observation Post? :-\

OP = Original Post :P.

Alright, thanks.

What's with all these abbreviations, anyway? All they seem to do is confuse. :(

Any chance of a Panther Ausf. F with schmalturm somewhere in the game? Or even put one in the Ostheer anywhere? thanks. I will try and attach a picture lol. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Munster_Panther_Ausf_F_Schmalturm_1(dark1).jpg

I don't think so.

No problem thought it was worth a try, as i read that a King Tiger  with Henschel turret would be a unit within the Ostheer and thought the panther with narrow turret would be suitable to be alongside. Keep up the good work guys.

But the King Tiger with the Henshel turret was the production model, let alone that was used on the Eastern Front and the unit you are suggesting was only a prototype that never was finished iirc.
