There are still a couple of things to be finished:
- Balancing. The final balancing phase has begun. The ever-valuable Strike Team has the new expansion in their expert hands. The green light to stream it at their heart’s content has been given.
- Localizations. We are completing all the expansion’s translations as we speak.
- Release Date. We are working with Valve to find a good launch date for the expansion. When we’ll have one, you’ll be the first to know!

[h2]A couple more skins and unit details[/h2]
As we described in various DevBlogs and much exhaustive details, Steel Division 2: Men of Steel will bring a host of new units and impressive skins. Below is a small list of those that deserve another chance in the spotlights.
- RM SHERMAN II: The Royal Marines tanks landed with the RM CENTAUR batteries. Just like the latter units, they sport visual artillery radial markings all around the turret for the tank commanders to quickly direct the tank’s fire. In-game, they will be regular but experienced M4A1 available from Combat Phase A with the 1st Special Service Brigade.
- F6F-5 HELLCAT. These are U.S. Navy planes, the same that turned the tide in the air battle over the Pacific (before being replaced by the Vaught F4U Corsairs). In Europe, they took part in Operation Dragoon, flying from the USS Tulagi and USS Kansaan Bay carriers. This aircraft is from the former’s air wing and, if not mistaken, the first U.S. Navy unit to make it in a Steel Division game. In-game, they will provide air cover to the 1st Airborne Task Force.
- PANZER P40 37(i). Under the Beute designation hides the very first serviceable Italian P26/40 “heavy” tanks. Commandeered by the Germans after the takeover in Italy, they were sent to bolster the Axis troops hurriedly moved to face the Anzio landings. In-game, they will be part of the 715. Infanterie-Division.
- P-61A-5 BLACK WIDOW. We already showed you that the fighter-bomber variant, the P-61B-10, provides close air support to our Allied Groupement Dody. However, the variant featured with the 1st Special Service Brigade will be the earlier (night) fighter version, without any bombs, but with its own special livery.
- Bf 109G-14. The latest version of the German 109s in the summer of 1944 will be flown by the Hungarian air force. However, it will also be available in its Luftwaffe variant. This particular plane sports the markings and colors of the III./JG 11, flying top cover in-game for the Kampfgruppe von Tettau over Arnhem.
