DLC release delay for PC
We regret to inform you that the date for the first DLC is until next month. Work on both updates is still ongoing, and even though we spend most of our time on them, still not everything is ready. We want to make sure that we provide you with the best content possible, so we believe that this extra month will allow us to refine all the details and release both updates in the best possible condition.
Consoles update postponed
Our friends from Console Labs, who are responsible for porting the game to the Playstation 4 and Xbox One, also need more time to polish up the update which will bring all the vehicles in the Community Free Vehicles series. Please have a little more patience, the update should be ready in January 2022.
We apologize to you and ask for your understanding.
Thanks for all the support and Merry Christmas! DeGenerals

Update 1.2.9
Dear Mechanics,
Although we're still working hard to deliver you the DLC on time, we're not overlooking major issues that have been waiting to be fixed or optimized for a long time.
1.2.9 Update
Added:
Contract Creator modding tool
Added toggle in Settings manager that allows selecting what algorithm of tank randomization to use (default is new)
Fixed:
Engine will be correctly turned off when moving tank between slots in workshop
Engine will be correctly turned off when getting to or from test drive/proving grounds
Tiger I dust particles now have correct position
PS4 / Xbox One controllers support for MacOS
Restored proper working of collectables subscribed from Steam Workshop
Problem with display mode settings (windowed etc.)
Problem with some extraction objects (excavators, trucks etc.) floating above ground
Tank front lights will be disabled when exiting the tank
Dependencies for Panzer II Oil Cooler parts that correctly now shows them in store/crafting menu
Panther torsion bars are now splitted into two types (A/B)
Maus Evacuation Hatch & Generator B materials fix
Modified:
Better random generator for tanks at extraction mission
Tank Randomization Algorithm change We have received many reports from you about issues with the randomization system during excavations. Our players were not happy with the constant repetition of the same vehicles, which could even occur several times in a row. We have generated a few millions of extraction as our sample size and put the results to this table: From this patch, the game will handle the tank randomization differently - the game will react to what and how many tanks the players have. The game will favor tanks that the player does not currently own - that does not mean that currently owned tanks will not be selected - only their probability to be selected gets lower.
Please let us know what do you think about those changes. It should help you get faster to the tanks you want. For all hardcore grinders, we left an option in the settings which will let you bring back the old randomization system.
Contract Creator Tool We have added another tool that allows creating and sharing through Steam Workshop contracts, receivable through Email Menu - to find out how please check ModdingTools\UnityPackages folder and ContractCreatorReadme.pdf. Have fun ;)
Thanks and have a good one! DeGenerals

Development Status #109
Dear Mechanics,
Welcome to our one hundred and ninth development status update.
Today's development status is special. We publish it a day earlier than usual, on Thursday, to celebrate with you Veterans day, Remembrance day and Polish Independence day. We would like to express our sincere thanks to the fallen and war veterans around the world.
Ammo
The tank gun 20-K was mounted in various early Soviet vehicles, and it was more than adequate in destroying German materiel. Rounds we'll be including in the game are BR-240SP armor piercing, being able to penetrate 73mm of armor at 10m, and the UO-243, a standard issue HE round.
The almighty KwK43 cannon of the King Tiger used evenly almighty ammunition. Our game will be having the PzGr 39/43, penetrating an almighty 237mm of armor at 10m, and Sprgr.43 HE as well, for softer targets.
M18 Hellcat
A US armored vehicle will soon be added to the evergrowing TMS family - M18 Hellcat Gun Motor Carrier!
The vehicle was designed in 1942 and put up to production in 1943, Buick Motor Division produced around 2,507 of those, from July that year, to October of the next. The vehicle focused mainly on speed and armament, heeding no more attention than machine gun fire, which allowed the vehicle to reach ludicrous speeds. The armor all around reached from 4.8mm to 25.4mm (0.19-1.00 in).
Talking about its speed, we cannot skip the engine. While mere 19 tons helped to propel this tank up to 89km/h (55mph) on roads and 42km/h (26mph) off road, the main reason for it was the Continental R975-C1 radial engine, interchangeable with the C4 variant, giving it additional 50 horsepower. Paired with the radial 9-cylinder engine was the 900T Torqmatic automatic transmission, a rare commodity for tanks of those times.
Another focus was on the armament, and it went into the 76mm M1 cannon, an incredibly dangerous opponent to the German armor. It had the standard 76mm ammo choice: APHE, AP, HE, along with APCR and smoke rounds.
The suspension was a fairly standard one, single torsion bar per arm, along with shock absorbers for certain pairs of roadwheels. It gave a decent ride for the speed demon's crew.
Thanks for all the support and have a good weekend. DeGenerals
