I'm glad to announce that T-34 Sam is the new TR staff member!

His precious help (in particular for infantry) will reduce drastically the time for the release!

[Mig Eater]

Thanks to his help I have managed to cut maybe 6-10 months off the time needed to finish the beta which I am very grateful for

So now you lot can be expecting the beta to be out with in a month or two

[Natus]

Class, D-Day is getting closer.

[Rygar]

this is exactly what we need and what we mean. Satisfy the fans

Infantry?! Oh my, I believe I speak for everyone when I say pls make the infantry units uber cool!

Pls scale them realisitcally (so they wouldn't looke 10-feet tall beside a tank), and make their corpse remain on the ground when dead (just like in CDV Sudden Strike).

Say, kinda off topic but can you make the tank debris an obstacle? Like all the vehicles and armors when turned to scrap will not vanish but stay as it is as an obstacle, same goes for the structures and civilian buildings. I'd love to see half torn civilian structures than seeing them vanish to dust.

It wouldn't really lag someone's PC if this will be possible, right?

See the interview post for a pic of the infantry...

Tank wrecks are obstacles but they can be blown up

If normal base structures left rubble then you would run out of space to build your buildings fast as you cant build another building on the same spot

Wow, I should've looked at it earlier, the infantry units are scaled quite good Mig! Will they be wearing great coats in winter maps?

Tank wrecks are obstacles but they can be blown up

So I can force fire on them and they're gone? Great!

About the base structures, maybe you can give e'm a debris, and from there they have a rebuilt command which is cheaper but takes time from the default time build, and a demolish command to clear the space and build the structure from the command center as usual with the default price and time build. Is this possible Mig?

Ok, so I take it that you're ok with the debris of civilian structures? Half-torned civilian structures, eh Mig?

Sorry for being a nuisance, but what defense structures will you have? Stationed anti-tanks and artillery guns for armor, vehicles and aricrafts, and concrete bunkers/nests/watch towers for infantry? Pls, don't put the ugly turret defense structure thing, not very realistic and will ruin everything in D-Day.

Sorry but no that cant be done, this is RA2 not Generals

Yer I'm working on some of them for the Stalingrad/Berlin maps etc

There are mobile anti-tank, artillery & anti-aircraft guns that are towed by trucks & can be deployed any were on the map

There are also pillboxes, watch towers & bunkers etc too

[DaEm0NuL]

It can bee seen that new staf's around.
They'll be any special brigades like enginer can lay mines and blow up things (tank scraps). Flame, SS (light infantry, MP, HMG, Sniper, Flame), normal army, Commandos so on ?

Just perfect! Thanks for not adding that turret cannon Mig. Good thing the towed artillery guns that I saw on your screenies back then are still here. So if I build an artillery, the truck with a towed artillery gun will come out as a whole, right?
Will there be trenches? I know, WWI stuff, but there's trenches in Code Red for China I think, if it can be done in CR, maybe in D-Day as well?

Don't expect me to do a rush job on the AI, i have a reputation to uphold,

[Indigo]

Woah, if it's the AI we're talking about, by all means do what needs to be polished.

I personally don't mind that as long as the AI is far much better than Code Red's, not that I don't like CR's, I love it. But I remember making a thread back then asking you guys to make the AI as good as CR's, and I was so happy when you said that you can do the AI for D-Day two times better that CR.

[Rattuskid]

Yeah, the AI must've been a bear since YR goes all goofy after you hit 100 units.

[Andre27]

There's a solution to every problem..that's all i'm going to say about this.

[Rattuskid]

Ah, well trust me, I have no shortage of theories on how you did it. But... if there is always a solution, is that to mean you'll have dogfights too?

[Indigo]

Last time I heard, Mig's gonna implement air-to-air like Rocketeers taking on each other, but Rocketeers stop in midair and engage the enemy, how will this be in aircrafts? Surely they won't stop in midair to fight an enemy aircraft...they'll turn around in circle while engaging the enemy, perhaps?
