Let’s see what Steel Division 2: Tribute to Normandy '44 has to offer.
Covering the Normandy campaign in 1944 from D-Day, June 6th, to the Liberation of Paris on August 25th, Steel Division 2: Tribute to Normandy '44 is a long-requested community expansion.
It features the Allied veterans of the U.S. 1st Infantry Division, the famous 101st Airborne Division, and the 4th Armored Division. The Commonwealth forces bring the elite British Guards Armoured Division, the 7th Armoured Division “Desert Rats”, and the 4th Canadian Armoured Division. The French commandos from Demi-Brigade SAS wreak havoc in the enemy’s rear.
The Axis divisions include the 2. Panzerdivision, the feared 9. Panzerdivision, the dreaded 1. SS-Panzerdivision "LSSAH", the 16. Luftwaffe-Feld-Division, ad-hoc Festung Groß-Paris, the 91. Luftlande-Division, and the defenders of the 716. Infanterie-Division.
Over 200 new units, with 14 brand-new vehicle models, 3 new plane models, and many new infantry squads and unit variants, will be found in this expansion. Such as the Marder I auf 39H(f) tank destroyer, Flak 41 88mm AA gun, NAG 4500 Drilling heavy anti-air truck, the Canadian Wallaby heavy APC and Otter armored car.
Aircraft include the American A-20G and B-25C bombers, as well as the unique Rosie the Rocketeer bazooka-equipped Piper Cub conversion. New infantry models include 101st Airborne's famous Filthy Thirteen raiders, French SAS, and the Vichy-aligned Miliciens collaborationists. Steel Division 2: Tribute to Normandy ‘44 also features new voice-acting, such as the Allied Belgian and New Zealander pilots.
No less than 8 new heroic Aces will be available, each deploying on the battlefield in a uniquely camouflaged or marked unit, including Sherman tank commander Creighton Abrams, paratrooper Lt.Richard Winters, Königstiger ace Kurt Knispel, or Fallschirmjäger legend Alexander Ulhig.
