Type 3 Chi-Nu tank
Wasn't this already in the mod?
Correct, my fault! It was already integrated in the previous release.
@sargesurfat The T-70 and the Canon de 155mm GPF field gun are also already in the mod.
Chapeau! At least the have never been mentioned in a news update... 😉
One of the new additions who are not mentioned above is that BG 1.8 contains also a complete new army in term of the Free French Forces (FFL) with their own vehicle fleet, weapons and uniforms! The most astonishing is the high level of authenticity thereby. Absolutely fantastic, great job and well done!
I just realised that I haven't logged in or checked the forum for years, though I did keep my tabs on the wiki.
Looking at Sarge's contributions, I found there's also a 21cm Mörser 18, but I don't know if it's integrated in the latest version; I haven't seen in-game pictures of it personally.
