[h2]Dear Mechanics,[/h2]

welcome to our ninety-sixth development status update.

[h2]New standard.[/h2]
As you well know from our previous updates we are working on new tanks. In this status we would like to introduce you to the quality we aim at with the new models. Here are work-in-progress renders of Maybach HL230 from PzKpfw VI Ausf. B Tiger II (H) “King Tiger" tank.



The heart of every vehicle is the engine. That's why we want to make the disassembling of engines even more fun and a treat for enthusiasts. Additional elements such as movable / animated pistons in cylinders, fully modelled crankshafts. This is something we do and want to have in the game.



[h2]Okay, what about the current tanks available in the game?[/h2]

The current tanks are in for a kind of "renovation". We are going to review every vehicle in the game and adjust them to the "new standard" described earlier. At this point, there is already some work in progress. We are collecting even more references, also thanks to you! And making corrections e.g. in the part names.



More information and progress from the work as always now every Friday. See you next week!

Thanks for all the support and have a good day,

DeGenerals

[h2]Dear Mechanics,[/h2]

welcome to our ninety-fifth development status update.

[h3]Art progress[/h3]

This week it is time for Russian bias. We would like proudly present to you work-in-progress Soviet heavy tank IS-2.



[h3]Code progress[/h3]

we have finished the connection of tank-weapon-ammo config. Now working on player being able to pick-up the ammo on extraction missions (and spawning it in correct places on that missions).

We would like to provide support for additional languages for game, by Steam Workshop. It means, modders will be able to prepare custom text translations with CSV files, with following structure: KEY*###*VALUE. Example for tests, Finnish language (machine translation):



Also it is possible to dynamically load custom fonts from TTF or OTF files into game (for example, to support Non-Latin languages):



[h3]Soundtrack[/h3]

We are also cooperating with a musician, Mr. Michał Ratkowski, who is composing the music for original soundtrack to the game, here is a link to main menu theme:

About code progress, not much to inform, still working on the of system tank - armament - ammo, and correct loading/unloading procedures of all logic connected with it. It requires much more time than we anticipated :(

As a last note, we do not have any date set for this patch, as we won't push out the patch before clearing all reported bugs and implementing quality of life improvements.
