will it be free?

[@easyfoxproductions]

Rumor has it...this game can release one from the grasp of the snail...

[@sebulbableves]

I mean, Enlisted is kinda ass with the tech tree.

[@davidhammes4579]

Cant wait to find out! WT has been getting steadily worse since they removed white rock in my opinion. Just want another game to scratch that itch, and the arcade mode of A&A is sizing up to look promising

[@TheJohn_Highway]

WT has been irredeemable trash since 2019-2020, anyone who still plays it deserves all the frustration they get.

[@dumbfuckteen3316]

And right into their new just as bad grasp. You do know they are gona charge 15-20 bucks up front and then also implement FOMO bullshit such as artificially limiting rare and interesting vehicles for no good reason other than to scam the players.

You guys are cranking out the content but please don't burn yourselves out, I hope to speak for all of us when I say we would rather wait longer for a finished and polished product vs the dev team getting burnt out and not doing your best work. Love the progress guys!

[@robertoferreira4896]

Absolutely stunning map. Really nice work! The project is shaping up so nicely.

[@TheJohn_Highway]

This is an impressive jump from the previous dev blog. I thought you were still just working on the Pz.IV on a plain untextured test map. Good job, we just might get a PvP tank game that doesn't suck balls at this pace.

no Offensive , but this game looks better then I have expected.The graphics and vihicle animations looks already better then War Thunder.I wish you all the best

[@Canadian-ju8yh]

This is a daunting and exhilarating task, and when you guys do it right (which you are) I will make sure to pay full price for this game.

[@chungusbooper]

8:11 - Interesting, this is the first time I've seen that particular design of additional armour plates (or 'vorpanzer', I guess?) on the turret front of a Panzer IV.

[@robertocosta1645]

Yeah that's the "Vorpanzer" modification. One of the armor packages you can pick.

[@esmerlinfernandez7856]

It's probably going to become one of my favorites, can't way for this game to come out

[@crosssans7546]

You know, when even DaVinci works on a game, it's going to be a masterpiece!

I'm amazed at how quickly you've advanced recently! Have you considered changing the built-in ACES tonemapper for far superior colours? that's why Cyberpunk 2077 looks so stunning after applying tone-adjusting mods

[@Alex_Alex01741]

Add the cat as an easter egg 13:54 😂

[@syborgcat3830]

I’ve heard somewhere that the tigers turret traverse is tied to the engine rpm Could be fun if that worked in this game.

3:54 btw with open topped vehicles, will tou mosel so a grenade or satchel thrown inside "falls" inside and damages them from the inside, and not as if it was on a roof?

[@larshaas2658]

this is starting to look very nice for optimisation i have advice to maybe look at the videos of Threat Interactive, idk if you have seen them but he has beef with how Unreal is optimized and shows how to properly optimize it and stop it from looking blurry. also i saw the artillery didn't have speed of sound implemented yet, this can be a very nice adition to all guns, cannons and explosions. although i play war thunder war too much (3,2k+ hours) i haven't checked out the realistic sound mod. it does sound good though but be careful! most other sound modders for war thunder have made their mods way too "cinematic" (what that even is suppossed to mean?) and not realistic. although gone for years now, Kiwi from KAGSM did make a really realistic sound mod. he was quite technical with it because he studied sound design and what i basically got from it that at altitude and greater distances and air pressure sounds from gunfire and explosions will not sounds like the full swooosh but more like a feisty pop! i recommend watching lots of war footage to really get that sound right. lastly because it has been an idea of mine for a theoretical War Thunder killer game (i really hate Gaijin and War Thunder) has been the best, most realistic dynamic gore system. it is war after all. i want to see the interiors of tanks being painted! 50. cals exploding bodies!, shrapnell goring enemies to the extreme! the shattered bones dropping them to the floor! the crawling and wimpering that comes with it. it should be interesting and shocking at the same time. i won't advise it if you don't want to, but war footage (modern and old) and liveleak are good start for this. (sorry if this is a bit too much, but i am just dissapointed most war games don't genuinely show how bad it is)

[@AcesandArmour]

Appreciate the comment, a lot of interesting thoughts. Speed of sound is currently implemented by the way, look closely.

[@itsfake1752]

the tank interior looks amazing!

[@JakeTheTankmaster]

Great stuff lads. Hope ye gain more widespread popularity, can't wait to see this project done.

[@walker50aaron]

Ive watched tons of footage on that 250 such a awesome an well running vehicle for its time. The game looks amazing cant wait to see more!

[@BlacKrait]

Aah that's why the sound mod in Warthunder is not getting any updates! You picked well because he has the best mod by far. Keep up the good work !

Gran trabajo, felicidades, me encanta sobre todo el modelado del interior de los tanques.

[@RhoDesia-gr1wb]

can't wait

[@xXturbo86Xx]

I did not expect to hear Greek music. Nice. Anyway, i recommend taking a look at Steel Fury. It's in my opinion the best WWII tank simulation ever made. Even gun sounds are very detailed. German high velocity guns had a slight whistle or ring tone at the end. You can even hear it in WWII footage.

[@JayTobas]

Game's looking great so far! I think the standardization of the Arty is a good move, It's a good blend of realism and gamefeel to me.

[@lizdacosta2864]

Amazing and impressive work.

Having the creator of the RCSM as a sound designer for a mil-sim is an absolute win. Hold on. At 13:39 why are there like 5 different models of the cat? 😂

are you guys intrested in adding planes? And will it will be study level? (Working buttons and systems?) like the tanks

Iirc for the realistic milsim mode, yes, for the War Thunder-esque arcade mode, no

[@armchairgeneral7363]

Really hoping that you'll some tank destroyers like the StuG or the SU-85. The stuff that your team is doing is amazing, so far

[@xNevikKx]

Fantastic work!

[@ajaxmk69]

This look awesome, id pay 80$ for this quality

[@ButtersTheGreat1]

Would be cool to have a duel throttle stick set up available to drive the tanks.

[@Filo127]

Someone probably said this already. But having the interiors be interactable with VR. That would be amazing. Hope at some point that could be done for the game

[@SupTwoWater]

Hope I'm not late. Just a question, is the driving mechanics for tanks applicable for trucks? I don't think you can independently control the power entering each wheel of the truck.

[@AcesandArmour]

No, the control method is quite different, but a lot of the technical work can be applied to trucks in terms of engine, transmission... etc

[@SupTwoWater]

@@AcesandArmour Oh I see.

[@coolboi22455]

why is maxwell at 13:39 :sob:

[@gabrielneves6602]

11:39 the srrial numbers on the small plaquette, will eb random or is just a fixed sprite?

[@Srhnsfskztxzf]

It would be nice if it's random since those are the serial numbers of the hull and the turret

[@GaminguyYT]

How much?

[@FlightsOnConsole]

You guys really need to add a Tiger 1 early variant!

[@sliceofbread2611]

love it!

[@joonasnaski9513]

13:39 Those cat things are an asset that everyone should have available. I don't know if they are as it has been a long time since I have needed to look for assets and I am too lazy to check now.

[@TheNoobYeeter]

Y'all got an actual tanker and guy who restores tanks to help out? Y'all are well on your way to becoming the GTA of tanksims.

[@Bellthorian]

Just as an FYI, nobody in the military moves around with their weapon pointed like that. The only time you point your weapon like that is when you are going to shoot someone. Normally it will pulled in tight, cross body for weight distribution and balance. I wish or hop you will include VR support.

[@burritomussolini9192]

How will the performance of the game be with such detailed assets, textures and ballistics especially in multiplayer?

[@AcesandArmour]

We're throwing a lot of our resources at optimisation, it is at the forefronts of our minds. Poor performance is not acceptable.

[@MaceJones-nf2cs]

[@SovietPaul]

Ohoho… I probably don’t have a good enough Pc to play this, but I can already imagine quarreling with an unresponsive gearbox in the T-34 as you get lobbed with 75mm shells by a panzer 4… …but your still standing.

[@AcesandArmour]

We're focusing on optimisation, so hopefully you will be able to play it.

[@frug8435]

Great devlog. Quick question though, are the vehicles blueprints?

[@robertocosta1645]

They're a hybrid of level instances and blueprints set up for modularity. Some stuff will gets ported over to C++ sooner or later for performance reasons, but we're leaving as much as feasible in BPs for modders to work with.

[@Neon9th]

Will the tanks be repairable in the field? If yes, how will it work?

[@Kuschel_K]

I hope not. Repairing vehicles is always so immersion break. Hate how Squad 44s tank gameplay is basically multi crew War Thunder. Some things can be sped up, like building fortifications, but other than fixing a tanks track, it shouldn’t be possible to repair them. And even destroying a tanks track should mean something, since a mobility kill greatly reduces a tanks efficiency.

[@Brosquini]

This is an unbelievably impressive looking game, out of interest, what type of game will it be on release; More like war thunder, battlefield or arma. I absolutely will get this game on release if it runs on my computer, also are you anticipating console release? Also, what is the plan for visual destruction, will it be like warthunder of battlefield?

[@AcesandArmour]

Between those it resembles Arma more closely. In terms of destruction, it's something we are internally investigating right now to determine what's feasible, and will likely be showing off before too long.

[@TheJohn_Highway]

​@@AcesandArmour A tank game without destructible environments is like a first person shooter without blood. I'd rather have 50% less content than a game where everything is static and unbreakable.

[@AcesandArmour]

@@TheJohn_Highway Well of course there will be some level of destruction, what we are investigating is what level of destruction is feasible, and what techniques are the most performant.

[@seanwhite3498]

:O did my idea of towing weapons make it into the game!? I saw towing bars, i think im winnin

[@powerknight12]

Will support for sim wheels/sim setups be available?

[@Alffraido]

This looks great, but i do wonder if there will be less milsim gamemodes? Like, sandbox to just mess around, plain PVP, even 5v5 or 1v1 tank e-sport type things while maintaining all the milsim tank features?

[@Wise_picknick]

I really hope it will be not to big to store I cant wait to play it but I can imagine it being around 200gb like dcs

[@pjotr9507]

Do you guys have Shrapnell when a shell explodes? like in war thunder when a shell explodes mid air you can see where the shrapnell hits the ground so it makes the dust pop out. Being REALLY picky here considering you are kind of limited resource wise but that'll be sick

[@meh7041]

Idea: Mods. (BF[BattleField] or/with WOT[World of Tanks] and/or WT[War Tunder] modifications of tanks). Able to change even a tiny bit of every tank can always make it fun, whether through looks, fire power or something else. But its all just an idea.

[@Local_Wren]

It looks great, but does anyone know if this will be on Xbox or PlayStation?

[@videorowtv5198]

Regarding the gunplay, could you make it so you have to manually work the bolt in bolt action rifles in realistic mode like in RS2 vietnam?

[@carlitosskater89]

At this point, anything that resembles WT and don't have the Russian bias is a good thing. Hoping to see more of it!

[@Kuschel_K]

Well it will hardly resemble WT, since WT is a vehicle battle only game.

[@TheJohn_Highway]

​@@Kuschel_K It will hardly resemble WT because WT has turned into World of Tanks.

[@carlitosskater89]

@@TheJohn_Highway exactly this. Also, historical MM is a must. Idc to be fighting kv1/2 on my panzer3s, as long as i don't have to fight bmp1 and all the powerful heat slingers on my TigerII.

[@konnirichter7299]

Is it possible to play or test actual branch when you are a patreon? Will patreons get updated branches regularly? Thinking about getting patreon too... I have been waiting years for such a game. Hoping devs will keep up this details. It would be great if devs could even build in some training missions and bots so you can operate a tank even in some single player action. Wolfpack game has solved this in a similar way with bots. Looks great already!

[@pickle2405]

likely too early to say but do you guys have plans to support HOTAS setups and 'realistic' aircraft cold starts and such? always wanted a game that combines the sim like elements of DCS with actual player controlled soldiers on the ground (of course this won't be a "simulator" like dcs but its the closest comparison i can think of)

[@TheKraken25]

Will their be realistic crew bailouts? Like the crew lifting the hatch(s) crawling out and jumping off the tank. Same goes for trucks like the blitz, entering would require opening, going past the door etc. Also, whats the damage model system going to be like? Im hoping more like WT than a wot health bar or squad 44 module health bars. I just feel like these questions would be important to me, because this game is like what GTA 6 is for others. People are hyped, and may need to get a PS5/PC just to get it, this is how it is for me for this game!
