Making History: The Second World War News

We have made a pass at improving the German translation for The Second World War.



All areas of the game are now in German.



We expect some errors but we hope this will be a big step forwards.

Big improvements to Chinese translations through out the UI and events.

We are happy to announce the release of a Chinese language version of The Second World War.



All strings have been translated into Simplified Chinese including UI and events.



Also in the this update, we fixed a few spelling errors and added port to the city of Hobart, Tasmania - the island south of the Australian mainland.



Like with our recent localization for The First World War, we plan to add more languages to this game.



German and Russian will be next with more to follow.

We’ve finished another set of aircraft models representing two minor Eastern European powers, Romania and Yugoslavia. There were unfortunately not many domestically designed combat craft to choose from for the Romanians, but the Yugoslavians had a wide range of units that we felt deserved to be added to the game. This is a free content update for all current and future owners of Making History: The Second World War.



We also included in this release a few requests by the community. There are more models and event content we are looking at for the next update.

Thanks.

As a small, landlocked nation surrounded by hostile neighbours, Czechoslovakia placed a high priority on developing a modern aviation industry. With no ports or ships, they viewed the air as their sea. Using the large heavy machinery and military industrial factories in Bohemia, Czechoslovakia was able to produce a well respected force in regards to personnel, material and equipment. The Munich Agreement forced the Czechs to surrender without a fight so we can never know how this force would have fared against the German Luftwaffe.



In this release we’ve added a set of historical models representing the Czechoslovak Air Force of the 1930s. Some units were in the proto-type stage when the German occupation began, ending further development. The models also include the Avia S-99, a Czech Messerschmitt Bf 109 post-war fighter constructed with parts and plans left over from Luftwaffe aircraft production during the war. A portion of these were sold to the new Israeli state forming that nations first fighter squadron.

In the next update we'll complete the regional power air unit model additions with entries from the Yugoslavian and Romanian Air Forces. There are plans to add Swedish and Australian aircraft at some point but the priorities will likely shift towards gameplay features. Also, we eventually want to expand the under-represented jet era models, notably Soviet aircraft.
