That's going to be a complete failure if they don't have tanks.

Where did you get that idea from? Ofcourse there are going to be vehicles.
I just assumed since they didn't have any examples of them.
I do remember the devs talking about the priority of vehicles to make first. Rather than having a Tiger alone roaming the backfields, better to first create the infantry support vehicles to release the product sooner.
I wish I could find a better link for this clip. Watch it at 30 seconds, the Sturmpanzer Bison leveling a building with French resistance held up inside. I really love that clip, it's rare because you are looking over the shoulders of the soldiers, you can see what they are shooting at.

Oh, you mean like RO2? Look how well that turned out.

Well, I'm fairly confident that there will be more than 2 tanks, and you won't see the ping ponging of tank shells back and forth.
The armor damage model will be similar to this

Hello, Shurek here from Jackboot Games. You might know me better as the guy on the dev team who wrote most of the tanking code for DH.
I can most assuredly tell you that there will be tanks and other vehicles in Festung Europa and not just two. We make no bones about the fact that we consider AFV's an integral part of the CA gaming experience, and you will see more of the same and better in Festung Europa.
As noted above, we have opened up the team to recruitment, so if you have skills in the areas being promoted, please drop us a line at [email]openings@jackbootgames.com[/email] or send me a PM here.
Glad to be part of the Facepunch club now :)

I'm so trying out Darkest Orchestra.
We should all get together and play this game.

I play almost everyday. Some of you might know me better by my in-game name ;)
-It's a damn shame this game isn't more popular. Almost every player that plays this game loves it. The controls are quick and responsive, all weapons are deadly, very good teamwork and action oriented combat with the right amount of realism mixed in.
Added you on steam. I haven't played that much DH though, mainly because I forgot to play more.

Holy shit, people still play DH..? I loaded up RO, took a look at the servers, and figured all the mods would be dead. I'll be in-game in like 20 minutes, steamtag's Punjon if any of y'alls wanna add me. Current username's Schweez-$
