I got a question!
Tobruk was defended by the Australians, right? But I see a British flag on the church on one of the screenshots. Is that staying or are you going to add an Aussie flag?

Come on, even I think thats childish to say.

Tobruk was indeed defended by the australians, not to forget new zealanders aswell. But they were stationed in the siege defensive if I am correct. Surely, they protected the town itself but how I understood it, it was mainly the british who defended Tobruk from within.

Can anyone say how the singleplayer front has changed in the patch. Any new maps supported? Have vehicles on sp maps been updated to match the mp versions?

Ok, thanks for clearing that up

Great news on the patch...the vid looks awesome. 3 new infantry maps is just what we need. It will give the tankwhores some well needed small arms practice. Torbruk looks like a work of art, thx to all the Devs for the hard work done. Can`t wait to see it for real next week.

Me personally enjoy the Desert Theater and that period of the war. There was a lot of decisive battles fought in Africa and it was as an important part of the war as any other. Lets hope that it doesn`t get forgotten about in the future, as I for one would like to see even more new Desert maps in time. I am craving for Normandy to be released like many others, but I`m not that bothered about the theater as much as the fact that there are new maps comming, that`s the most important aspect in my opinion.

You can watch the video in high quality by clicking on it and then clicking on "view in high quality" under the video in Youtube.

When will we be able to see the next bit of that vid plz Lightning ?

So, to summarize, you don't have to enter a deployable weapon, but, once you do, it undeploys automatically when you exit it. What happens if someone else enters it, and then exits?

And by the Poles (there's a "Defenders of Tobruk" street in Warsaw), and by the Czechs (I think they've made a movie about that recently, the Czechs I mean). But of course, our friends from the Down Under had the largest contribution there overall.

It will similarly disappear. If you get into a situation where you lost your gun in this way it can be replenished at any ammo box.

Hmmm... if I may ask, what's the reason it was implemented like that, unlike, say, a la the grappling hooks and zip lines of SF?
