[ProfTournesol 956]

According to Panzer Baron on IF forum, next patch will include :

* New: Engine version (1.62) for a more stable game.

* New: Different damage model for vehicles - they no longer suddenly change to an odd, burning piece of metal.

* New: New, wider window for the multiplayer server list.

* New: SVT soviet rifle added.

* New: G43 german rifle added.

* New: Flare pistol added to the unterofficers.

* New: New mine system; does no longer need the "Using mines and tripwires" module.

* New: M3 scout can close the armor plate now (need to get out from the car to do it, as in the real one).

* New: The M2 machine-gun sight on M3 scout is switchable.

* Fixed: Improved multiplayer netcode and fixed several multiplayer related crashes.

* Fixed: Various errors of the mines.

* Fixed: Several building issues, doors, geometry problems, crashes due to errors.

* Fixed: A problem with the breakable parts of the vehicles in multiplayer.

* Fixed: Reduced the thickness of the wooden fences against the bullets.

* Fixed: Hanomag and M3 scout no longer have such big zoom with the machine-guns.

Hm, I might have to fire IF up once this is released. I see fixes for many of the issues I have mentioned. Is there a date yet?

[ProfTournesol 956]

PB said the patch itself is ready, so probably soon.

We gave the patch for release, so logically, it will be released soon.

Looks very nice, I will be editing mission for it again (at least after a trip to Sweden).

[Mr. Charles 22]

Woop Woop, SVT and G43 :D

Will Staglers' mod include crews and infantry?

[Vandrel 10]

Hope some stability is seen in the campaign missions, I still have yet to progress past the 6th mission of the German campaign :)

The 1.03 patch will include only the first part of the mod, with infantry only. In the next patch will be added tank crew and other units also.

what about the soundmod, being worked on? http://forums.bistudio.com/showthread.php?135206-WIP-Phaze-Sound-Mod

1.62 engine? :-O So it's already newer then upcoming 1.61 patch for Arma 2?

[mcslavko 117]

when you expect a patch?

[fkymplbo 5]

It seems no Panzerfraust and the sound mod to include in the new patch this time?

What a disappointment: nothing about AI improvement.

Arma AI seems to be much better...

I think it may be difficult to get it fixed in a short period.

[ghost1 10]

I don't think the vanila arma 2 ai was any better. With alot of the arma2 ai mods, then yes it is. Hopefully some may get ported to Iron Front.

I was too occupied with RL issues to track this, nice to see it's being further developed and supported.

Once I actually get some time to play this one (so far gone through one or two SP missions on a borrowed copy) maybe there'll be a Dodge WC51 in one of the future patches ;)

[fkymplbo 5]

Topas, are you considering to have some cooperation with IF?

[LJF 0]

Will the jog sound bug be fixed? That's the most annoying thing on the planet right now lol

Russian heads, hands, and feet glow orange now. Looks kinda eerie seeing a glowing orange army rushing you through the forest at night. The fixes and additions are a nice improvement however.
