Hi! Just registered and wanted to make a post and ask some questions and show my support to this game.

I stumbled upon this mod some months ago on moddb and saw a terrific picture of a panzer IV, and it caught my attention immidietely! I've been looking through your updates and pictures and I think the quality of your work is amazing! Been lurking at the forums since, and just decided to register.

One thing I am curious about though is if there are any kind of limitations that can be hard to get around with the engine. For instance, how will tank armor and penetration of armor work? Will it be somewhat realistic or authentic?

I've also read that the game will be focusing on teamwork and therefore also communication. Will there be directional chat? (if that is the right term) Just to clarify: what I mean is if I talk ingame, would people close to me hear me good, and people at a further distance hear me not as good? If that made sense.

As I said, I've been lurking the forums and I think it's awesome how you developers are so active and open to suggestions and feedback! As everyone else, I can't wait for a full release, or next update for that matter.
Good luck and cheers

Welcome to the community Hormann!

There are a few limitations on what we can do with CE3 but really not many - time and ingenuity can overcome most things

We are looking at Positional-VOIP but no official announcement on it has been made. It's a popular request though

 

[Mr.Hormann]

Alright good to hear! I have no doubt that you and the team will do your uttermost to make most out of this game! Looks awesome this far, and I read that there are a lots of cool features that will be included. And I am sure that once the game is out it will be something to play for years to come. I will hang around and wait with anticipation to what comes next

I can assure you that tank penetration and such will be as accurately reflected as we can ingame. No shells bouncing off armour they could historically penetrate, and no shells causing damage magically through places they couldn't dent is a guarantee.

If 3d voip isn't incorporated my dreams will be burnt to the ground xD

But i believe i heard someone from the dev team saying something about mumble? Would you be able to hook the 3d mumble thing to TW?

Welcome, good sir!

Would you be able to hook the 3d mumble thing to TW?

We could, we haven't decided on the best way way forward yet however. The simplest solution isn't necessarily the best - it needs to be easy to use as well

 

[Troy]

Yeah, from my own experience of mumble it is very complicated for first time use and would most likely put a few people of using it.

Haha..

Should have seen that coming!

Awesome! I was expecting it to be that way, but I simply had to ask

I agree, a part of me would die if this is impossible to incorporate. I've used mumble in Project Reality, was a hassle at first but I got it in the end. I can understand that this might put people off.

And thanks for the warm welcomes!
