It doesn't feel like a game. You drive for hours over completely empty, low resolution terrain, collide with low resolution trees, drive across rivers... Despite all the new models and content it still feels like a mod, like when the Pz.III was first introduced as a test and I can't get any enjoyment out of it. That said, this is a place to discuss the DD, not other modules. Not sure what TC you are playing, but I rather like it. If they introduce infantry at some point it will be a game changer. Online and multicrew seem to be the place for the most enjoyment right now, but the TC QMG ,Pack 171 and other SP missions provide a lot of fun in SP. Each to his own. That was a great DD, and I am looking forward to the update. So much to try out, can't wait. Wishing 1C well and keep up the good work. S!Blade<>< Edited August 9, 2021 by BladeMeister 2

Basically, it will probably be like the anti-tank guns in the game. So, I'm not sure it will change much. But since we didn't really get any information about the infantry, I could (and hopefully will) be wrong.
Blitzen Posted August 9, 2021 Posted August 9, 2021 This week...really? In the meantime can someone help me understand how I will be able to use the the new German Flak-wagon? I pre-purchased it sometime ago , now I'm wondering if it will come with driving instructions & how exactly it will be useful "in game?" Will it have missions designed around it? Will it be useful in QM's? Perhaps someone already playing around with the Russian Model A gun truck can furnish some detailed info?
DD_Friar Posted August 9, 2021 Posted August 9, 2021 @Luftschiff Go online and have a look at the Advance and Secure server. You will get a lot of quick action there. Maps are not too big and change at the end of each scenario, some are country side, others towns. It has objectives of flags that unlock spawn points for your side and locks the spawns for the other side, thus driving them back, first team to take all the flags wins. It can be very tactical and nerve biting. These sort of servers will make you look at the tanks in a whole new light and will make you understand why we are asking for information on a road map of development. 1 1
Voyager Posted August 9, 2021 Posted August 9, 2021 I would still speculate the next Great Battles would be the invasion of Italy, provided they can get enough info on the planes. It was a very USAAF focused war, with complements anything Team Fusion does with the war in the Mediterranean, plus they've got a lot of aircraft that can be used in it already. But I could also see them doing a Battle of Berlin as well. Depending on how they handle it, they may even be able to do it as both a last hurrah for the Eastern Front series and an extension of the Bodenplatte Western Front campaigns. Basically stock it with Russian and German planes, but have the map space to use the Bodenplatte aircraft. In fact, if that is actually possible, that's probably the most likely one, since it could cover everything.

That said, this is a place to discuss the DD, not other modules. I think TC would benefit a lot, if we had some additonal smaller tank-only maps (10 x 10 km / 20 x 20 km). They could be made more detailed without a big performance loss and development time would be much shorter. Moreover a higher resolution terrain mesh would be possible, which is important in tank sims if you want to use hull-down tactics. 5 3

vonGraf Posted August 9, 2021 Posted August 9, 2021 I'd like to read something about the work on the AI for singleplayer mode too. 3

I assume you will be able to use it in quick missions as the anti-air selection on the map like you currently do with the GAZ-AA; with waves of aircraft attacking your position... they may also include it in the Advanced QMB that is coming but its anyone's guess how that will be done. Hopefully it'll also get drafted into multiplayer missions once server developers figure out how to place it usefully. Frontline airfield cover, factory, artillery, bridge defence would be a good use if they place spawn not too far from them. Regarding dedicated single player missions though, that might take time as I can't imagine it being a priority right now with everything going on... maybe something for Pat Wilson's Campaign Generator? Hopefully a video will come out soon after the Sdkfz releases ... explaining the features and how to use it like was done for the GAZ. Edited August 9, 2021 by Aurora_Stealth

It seems to me that they had announced missions (a scripted campaign?) to accompany the release of AA. But I'd have to find these words. EDIT : I found it again, it was just in the AA description on the store. "Our Sd.Kfz. 10 /5 Flak 38 can be used in both single-player and multiplayer scenarios and it will include several custom-made missions to demonstrate its ability at knocking down enemy planes. " So there is no question of a scripted campaign, it is the distant memory of "it will include several custom-made missions" that made me think of it. Edited August 9, 2021 by No_Face 1
ghostrider44 Posted August 9, 2021 Posted August 9, 2021 I hope so much that the next project will be in the Pacific. Imagine two seconds having to land on an aircraft carrier with your Corsair or drop your torpedo off Pearl Harbor. Unfortunately, I realize that the workload is enormous and that there is very little chance that this project will be up to date. 2
RNAS10_Oliver Posted August 9, 2021 Posted August 9, 2021 (edited) Question. Do the new planes for FC that are coming in this update have the DVD and tactical number features implemented on them? And for that matter how’s it coming with spreading these tech’s onto the other existing aircraft? Edited August 9, 2021 by RNAS10_Oliver

itsbillyfrazier Posted August 10, 2021 Posted August 10, 2021 @BladeMeister Pretty sure it was mentioned in the last interview with ShamrockOneFive on his Stormbirds podcast. I'm guessing it was in this podcast? (Sorry no idea at what point it's mentioned during the discussion). 2

Now, back to North Africa, those saying we already have all the tanks and it would bring nothing new, the Matilda, Valentine, Stewart, Lee/Grant, Italian armor, and a raft of armoured cars and various trucks, would like to have a word with you. The Queen of the Desert. Simple answer：NO. Seem you suffer from US anti-sino propaganda, having lots unrealistic bad illusion to China. BTW, since BOM out, P-40 has kmt flag paint.
