Thanks. This is what I´ve been hoping for

I hope this will be an actual August update and not "August for Russia, October for rest" ...

August is a time when we make a patch not a release time.
In September it will be tested (inner and in Russian community). In october may be released.

What are the large boxes on back of tank for?They look like extra fuel tanks!
Very dangerous,especially if the Russian infantry are throwing kt bottles at it.

Not to worry.  We all know that there is a less than 1% chance of tanks being knocked out that way.

So how is this patch coming along?  I'm starting to get great desires to play some more!

Now there is a weekly alpha-test for patches to the simulator and tactics by inner testers.
And adjustment of different aspects: the special effects and infantry animations.

[Lemonade]

These are some good news. Have you made some decisions on the approximated release date? Can we expect it sometime in October or early November?

Another question about your aus F-those containers on rear of hull,are they fuel or water containers?

[Alexander]

1. I choose this model because DLC Sinyavino in progress. Pz-IF and Pz-IIJ fighting here.

I planned make Pz-IIJ also.

2. I think water tank on rear, but I do not have accurate information.

[Flashburn]

That thing is just so CUTE.  

[andrey12345]

If you don't mind me asking.Why did you choose this tank to model,was there a special reason behind your decision ?

This tanks used in Sinyavino in a numbers.

[Alexander]

I would think if they were fuel tanks,then this would make the Aus F  a very suicidal tank to be in as a close assault support tank for the infantry.

External fuel tanks not used during combat in any case.

Pz-If and Pz-IIJ of 12 Pz. div. (ex. 66 Pz.abt.) was prepared to the Malta Island invasion. After cancel operation, this AFVs (66 pz.abt.) was sent to the Eastern Front and attached to the 12 Pz. div.
