Danske Reto-Moto har i dag udvidet deres WWII-skydespil Heroes & Generals med det, de selv kalder den største content-udvidelse i spillets historie. Den såkaldte Patton Update tilføjer blandt andet 9 New Goddamned Tanks!, som studiet så malerisk forklarer det - det er med andre ord en fordobling af antallet af kampvogne i spillet.
Patton-pakken tilføjer også et par nye skydevåben, mulighed for at sammensætte sine egne loadouts til køretøjer, og en ny mekanik til at spotte modstandere. Du finder trailer, en frisk bunke screenshots, såvel som beskrivelser af de nye tanks, længere nede.
Kender du ikke Heroes & Generals, så kombinerer det klassisk militærskydespil med et overordnet strategisk lag, hvor alle kampe og servere er del af en større konflikt. To faktioner kæmper om kontrollen over et massivt Europa-kort, og skal i sidste ende invadere og erobre modstanderens hovedstad.
US M2A2
The M2A2 is an early American light tank. It is armed with a .50 and a .30 calibre machinegun mounted in two separate turrets. It is fast and dangerous to infantry and lightly armoured vehicles.
US M24 Chaffee
The Chaffee is a late-war American light tank. It is fast and with its lightweight 75mm main gun it packs a serious punch compared to other light tanks. The Chaffee is often used in harassing tactics against heavier tanks.
US M3 Lee
The ‘General Lee' is an American medium tank armed with a 75mm sponson mounted main gun as well as a 35mm turret mounted gun. It requires an experienced tank crew to get the full benefit of this special tank.
US M4A1 Sherman
The Sherman forms the backbone of American armor and performs well as an all-round tank. It is fitted with a gyrostabilizer making the 75mm cannon reasonably accurate while the tank is driving.
German Panzerkampfwagen 38(t) Ausf. E
Build on Czech design this light tank proves more effective early in the war than Panzer I and II. The ‘E' variant have increased frontal armor. It carries a 37.2mm Czech main cannon.
German Panzerkampfwagen II Ausf. C
The Panzerkampfwagen II is a fast and maneuverable German light tank. It is armed with a fast-firing 20mm cannon which is extremely effective against infantry and lightly armored vehicles.
German Panzerkampfwagen IV Ausf. H
The Panzer IV medium tank is the most numerous German tank of WW2. Originally intended as an assault gun, it was converted to engage other tanks. Variant H has been fitted with a high-velocity 75mm main gun.
German Panzerkampfwagen VI Tiger II
The ‘King Tiger' was the most potent tank of WW2. The long barreled 88mm main gun combined with superior German optics enables this beast to easily destroy any tank on the battlefield at ranges beyond 2000 meters.
German Jagdpanzer 38(t) "Hetzer"
Hetzer means ‘chaser' in German and that is exactly what this small and fast tank destroyer does best. Low profile, sloped armor and a powerful 75mm cannon makes it a difficult to see, hard hitting opponent on the battlefield.
