This mod has been going on forever

Nbeerbower... you sound almost like you have access to the pre-beta Good to see our explainations are understandable.

Yeah, that was all from what I remember reading and my interpretations of the guide.

The Soviets aren't OP. They have a really weak early game, they don't start with any units so have a slow start. And conscripts are cheap but they will get cut up pretty quickly especially when they don't all have rifles. They can't get MGs in their support barracks, but they have heavy mortars, sniper teams, and tank hunter teams (which I doubt would be all that effective). Soviet Infantry can't recrew weapons or retreat either. Soviet Tanks, from what I've seen and heard, are very well balanced with German tanks. Lastly, when the beta comes around there will be plenty of feedback on balance. So there is no way the Soviets will be overpowered!

Ah ha you said the anti tank guns arn't gonna be usefull??? I have used several high name mods with Brittish anti tank gun teams and let me say that they CAN'T take on a tank BUT a halftrack would have problems if ambushed
Post Merge: September 19, 2009, 08:15:58 AMI was reading on the moddb fourm and one of the developers said that the mod WILL come out this year!! Can any of the developers confirm this?

Look at some of the abilities as well, and then think of strategies that would surround them.

I believe the AT gun has tread (thread?) breaker, which would immoblize (or damage engine) a tank. 

You could then move in with infantry, either the AT gun infantry, or just infantry with Krak grenades. 

Don't forget that in their current design doc, the USSR has some of the best tanks around, so this would also be a counter for wehr tanks.

I know youve answered this question before, but is there any decision on an open beta?

And realistically is the closed beta restricted to devs only or people who have applied?

And when will it be?

[WartyX]

There may never be an 'open beta' as such. We will have a rigorous Closed Beta, which will include developers, high-profile players, a careful selection of those who applied, and maybe some VIPs from a certain game development company. Professional games journalists are also welcome 

When we feel we have achieved 'releasable' status, version 1.00 will become up for download, and the widespread fun begins!
