Silly question. Is War in the East II WEGO this time?

OK. So if I did purchase this game it is guaranteed coop would turn up at some point?

<t> I see coop vs AI is not a thing according to the dev on the twitch stream on release but was listed as a feature? That was the only real new feature I could see that I was interested in. Focus on 1v1 close combat has been done before many times.<br/> <br/> Also a little concerned about the speed...

<r> From about 38mins in close combat and a close combat interview is shown. The first thing I notice is that they admit to speeding things up, but this can of course be slowed down. They are say they have added a fire direction indicator, I thought this was in the originals but it has been so long....

<t> Close combat is almost built for the Pacific Theatre. But to do it in close combat you would really need other elements that need a lot of programming and a planning phase to simulate the amphibious landings and the air support, naval support etc. You cannot just do what the CC mods do. It's not...

I have to say that I am looking forward to the non-normandy campaigns in CC3D. Nobody has done this since Combat Mission in a similar game.
There was a great mod for close combat way back for the western desert. I'd love to see close combat do that as well.

<r> I have already applied so the website says... again <E>:)</E><br/> Applied for both Alphas. Have a long history way back to Sulla and close combat.org. Loved gold juno sword mod for close combat the best. Been following the bloody first since it was announced. Loving steed division 2 at the mome...

<t> Where are the soldiers manning the half tracks? I cannot see them in the screenshot above?<br/> As for applying for the alpha. I did that and tried to apply a second time when BETA invites were on the table but it said I had already applied.<br/> So as per above, it sounds like all is in order. ...

Are those trees in the middle of the first screenshots street?

I realise that. I just thought it might be relevant if their was a better site to host off if nobody was aware of what these websites were showing G rated game audiences when they downloaded what seems like an officially sanctioned mod?

Just FYI. THat site's download links have advertisement pop ups that tell you you have virus's scam adv or show full spread animated pron girl games. May not be appropriate for all who play this game.

Thanks. I will give it a go

Basically I want to know if I can get pictures of the ships etc in the database to give me something to associate with in my head.

Done properly with charging banzai japanese foot soldiers and specific mechanics it could be a really cool theatre to explore.

<t> Good to hear. Expectations are high for me. I want to feel the amazement I felt playing the close combat 1 demo as a kid in the 1990s. Back then their was simply no other game that came close. I expect with all the competition for the wargaming space today that we will see this game make the nex...

Sections in the British army.

Actually I cannot remember whether it was GIcombat which I had forgotten about or squad assault.
Good to hear that they are listening to the testers. I am glad they are on the right path. Also good to see that good ole Firefox is on the job.

<r> <QUOTE><s>[quote]</s>ORIGINAL: GeeDub<br/> <br/> My personal, humble opinion is that most posters don't have a clue as to what goes on behind the scenes in the development of a game such as this, all the coding, debuging, recoding, etc. Then the alpha testing, then recoding and debuging again. T...

Maybe.

<r> I understand the design decisions. The problem is that this planning should have been done properly from the start so no engine change was needed. <br/> The best solution for me I guess is not to follow development and to consider more battlefront games and Art of Combat - Anzio 44 (which is loo...
