@kondi: Well, keep on guessing or wait until adherbal posts more screenshots.
@ adherbal: That precision strike thing makes sense. Also, maybe add specialisation "tungsten shells" for extra kick against armour for my Stuka g and maybe even AT guns? Keep the screenshots and vids coming. I think the reaction here tells you where your market is - the Wehrmacht is the faction making all wargamers reach for their wallets. Make hay while the sun is shining.
@bru: Yep, those are some nasty boat people there. However, I think they should be invisible to other surface vessels and only be able to move along the shoreline in shallow water. I guess some micromissions with these might be fun, but on a large map, they feel rather weird. But lets see how that plays out.

Well, in fact, I'm sure it's SU-122. :wink:

Will the Waffen SS be having bigger role in the new German campaign?
In blitzkrieg the Waffen SS when we got them only had 6 command points which is not much.

Yes, there are 2 consecutive specialisations in the next campaign, each expanding both the income and CP of the Waffen SS. So you can build it into a respectable force if you are willing to make the investment.

I like the new bombing idea of more damage to larger units but cannon dive bombers still mess up smaller units good too. The details make the game good.
And more Waffen SS will be glorious!

AFAIK the Waffen SS did not use anything the Wehrmacht did not, so no unique units for them. Custom unit skins will be brought back soon though, and maybe we can add something to automatically assign the typical Waffen SS camouflage pattern to their vehicles.

I think about the one, whose name can not be spoken aloud. :lol:
But I think that such presentations is a good idea and I'm glad that the developers used it.

Intensive nuclear bomb testing has revealed that there are still several missing destroyed unit textures. Why check file folders if you can do it with big explosions instead?

Its nice that you found a method to cheer up your drudgery. I mean, doing all this cross-checking stuff is probably annoying as f*ck.
I am already really curious about what is coming after Burma Road.

Not present in the Pacific theater so they'll have to make their appearance in a later DLC.
