Yes, armour penetration will be represented realistically. If it can't penetrate IRL, it won't ingame. That said, we may make allowances eventually for randomization for German steel brittleness. By 1944, German steel quality had eroded heavily, and it was not uncommon for even Panther and Tiger armour to be brittle to the point of worthlessness, simply snapping rather than absorbing a blow.

Here's a good example as such, showing the kind of catastrophic failure the brittle steel could create.

Can already hear the cries from the German fanboys

Heyho,

not entirely sure if this has been asked before, but let's give it a shot regardless:

How is TW going to handle 'zoom'? Will be there "IS-zoom" and/or additional zoom (comparable to Arma or RO2)?

 

[VonMudra]

Scoped weapons/binocs will have zoom per the power of the scope. Otherwise, no. You don't zoom your vision in real life, do you? The most might be a light move forward of the camera simply to give a better feeling to the player of moving into iron sights, but nothing significant/game changing.

 

[Generalfeldmarchall]

How about control breathing ?
Will it give a more zoom? Or just the same with control breathing?

Well, I'm very happy to hear that and that you share my opinion on this topic. This makes the game even more interesting and thanks for the quick answer.

It will give the shooter a more accurate shot

Only realism mode has the zoom and gimmicky levels and perks

If you play classic the weaponry is standard (Rifles get bayonets, no unrealistic add-ons, etc) and you can't level up to a point where supression doesn't effect you, and everyone is equal

I assume that's what they're going to do with TW as well.

1 more question dev.

when the game released(beta/alpha) how much space that it will need? an the system requirement?

 

[General Naga]

Provisional system requirements are here

As for size it's hard to say until the game is complete. The SDK and a few sample assets is approximately 2GB so you can expect it to be a few GBs. We'll do our best to keep the file size sensible and won't for example leave all the sounds uncompressed like some recent games I could mention.

Wow how rude, what if I enjoy those 40gb+ downloads?

I'm sure we can make a bulked our version just for you if you ask very nicely. We could probably get into 100GBs with some effort.

 

[Pjosip]

I have more than 430 GB of **** hidden somewhere on my server.
Perhaps you could compress that and pack it with "limited editon" of the game XD

im guessing that **** means p o r n ?

 

[Pjosip]

Maby, maby not.
To find out, ask around about "Traction Wars Limited Edition".

 

[Feldmeijer]

Who needs that stuff anyways?

 

[yourstruly]

Ok I have a couple questions,

First, considering this is a spiritual successor to FH2 (in a way, right?), will this have the same gameplay as FH2/BF1942 where there are flags and tickets?

Second, will it be played like traditional Battlefield games where most flags can be captured at any moment, or will it follow a linear capture mode similar to RO2, where one point unlocks another?

Thanks

I haven't heard us called that before but it is true that most of us have spent a great deal of time playing FH/FH2 and one or two have worked on FH. A conquest-esk gamemode with flags & tickets will be making an appearance in TWs.

Second, will it be played like traditional Battlefield games where most flags can be captured at any moment, or will it follow a linear capture mode similar to RO2, where one point unlocks another?

That entirely depends on the mission and the historical events, some battles were linear others were more flexible you'll always have the opporunity to make choices though. We don't believe in boxing players into a single route which both teams fight up and down.

what news shall we have next after the Lee-Enfield rifle?
