The one there is indeed HEAT, but that type was pretty rare, and discontinued from service in mid 1944...so not sure why its there at all=/

WOOOO!!! A SHOTGUN! That'll be my favourite for sure.

Time and again you guys keep spoiling us with amazing looking content. Damn, those renders and Normandy theatre screens just look spectacular.

Congratulations on making it in the team Otolikos. Can't wait to see 'magical mapping powers' applied in Normandy. Any plans on making a remake of your 'In the hell of Bocage' or 'Pegasus'?

Spoiler:

The SMLE has the correct bayonet. It just wasn't shown in the render

HEAT - rounds can penetrate a lot of metal

the grappling hook can be picked up again after use and be reused
i is mostly used on girabub right now and there it is really usefull
squadleader takes this pickupkit
drive around the fortress walls picks a spot and goes over the wall and boom enemy squad behind axis lines
or you can glimb tower you have no other access too
the possibilities are just great

Oh great the garand tiem to see the traditional american shooting spraying and praying jsut hoping to hit the enemy and not taking the british way of using accurate shots so i predict a bit of unfaraty for the germans, i hope u can hear the ping as the GI's complaned it gave their position away

Nice update as always. Is that map where Storch and FW are shown a new one or is it Operation Charnwood (the caen one where we have seen panther and crommwell ingame shots)?

Keep up the good work and I hope we see 2.15 soon (cannot wait to get use that grapling hook). 8)

up close in those urban sort of maps the Garand would make Germans cry.
