Red Thunder announced!

Hard man to please eh :-)

They chose the first game to be the end of the war for the obvious reason that they already had the majority of the German vehicles. That way we get to the eastern front faster. The game does have a bunch of new Soviet vehicles.

For development reasons it makes good sence to do it this way. Next game will the the year earlier. Now they have half or more of both the German and Soviet vehicles ready to go - just need to add some earlier ones. So we get that game faster. They are planning for incremental improvements to the game.

Don't forget the feature set, AI triggers, some support for fire etc.

You are right the don't have full support for fire yet but it will be there eventually.
