Dear Tankers and Mechanics!
Situation report
Today we are releasing another patch, a bit like a hotfix. We have fixed the bugs you reported, including fixes for single player mode, slightly reduced ricochets, and optimised particle effects. Full list of changes below.
Small Development Status (kinda)
Cast turret work in progress for KV-1
In the meantime, we are sharing the progress of work on the new cast turret for the KV-1. Here is the version with the ZiS-5 gun. Everything indicates that we will simply add the 1942 version of the KV-1 to the game as a supplement.
While working on the turret, we discovered that this cast turret had been modified. It was later reinforced and has thicker armour on the sides. At the rear, near the machine gun, there is an additional sprue on the turret.
A lot of KV-1
The next step is to use this base to create a version with a 7.5 cm KwK 40 gun. This is because the Germans were sometimes able to modify captured tanks and add something of their own, such as a different commander's cupola. Therefore, in the game, we should be able to see:
- KV-1 (ZiS-5 gun) - what we have had so far, mod 1941
- KV-1S (ZiS-5 gun)
- KV-1 with cast turret (ZiS-5 gun) - as KV-1 mod 1942
- PzKpfw KV-1S (need to investigate, since we are not using this tank on C1 campaign)
- PzKpfw KV-1B 755(r) (ZiS-5 gun)
- PzKpfw KV-1B 756(r) (7.5 cm KwK 40 gun)
