Nice.How about adding some fire sound if its possible

nice job

I'd like to see some tanks, to remain (for some time) on the field after their destruction, with smoke (black) their fire rising skyward... But maybe not possible ? And/or too heavy for computer power ?

why priest and sexton have only direct fire but ari range so when they shoot even near it takes very long to shell land LOL..? make them like stuh42 type spg plz

rwm 6.8 will be released later ?

You think repair the bug in the game of pull-down menu of the MP maps list, which BTW when we touch the cursor ?

I remember that tis bug is specific to RWM and v 6.7 version

Meh, I've suggested it before and I'll do it again.
Armoured munitions carriers.
A unit that can drive, reload/repair UNITS ONLY (like supply jeep) and not get killed/loose its crew very rapidly when it's shot at with rifles/mgs and other very light weapons.
UK: Universal Carrier
US: M3 Half-track
DE: Sdkfz-251
USSR:M3 Lend/lease

They were actually used, universal carriers were actually supposed to do this, originally they were transport for an MG team, later they were used for recon, ammo carrying to guns and light APCs.

good idea...

But they're already there
What about "Bergepanther" and the other ones?
Well they're able to repair, too. So what?

There's only the bergepanther, The sovs will get a T34 in 6.8 but the US and UK? It'd be interesting to add even if you have repair "tanks" anyways because of the difference, like light tanks and medium tanks.

West-Allies will get the "M31B2 (T2) recovery-tank" in 6.8.

My feelings.
Good that there are "recovery tanks", but I still want armoured munitions carriers, purely because they actually existed and are basically just bulletproof supplytrucks instead of T34s, grants and panthers, which are immune to other weapons too.

The recovery tanks must have one very useful task to pull out the broken tanks from the battle. Other important thing is the making of foxholes by supply trucks or by infantry .

I hope 6.8 will be out soon i have all other rwm variants and all the german singles . Heavy fighting ahead


And will be good to have more units fieldmade or some rare machines

Neither of those is possible as far as I'm aware...

No real progress the last weeks in case of 6.8 - Im sry but there is not enough time for modding right now. Anyway I promise that there will be a 6.8 release.
