Thanks for the update Oleg! I am particularly happy to see the Wirbelwind AA platform but also the Pz 42 rocket-launcher.
I had mixed feelings about the US M5 AT gun, not because of any historical consideration, but because AT guns--and all towed ordnance--are given a Camofluage of 2 which makes them easy to spot even in good concealment terrain. I consequently never see them purchased in multi-player games because they are too expensive given their fragility.
If small guns (57mm or less) were given a Camofluage of 7 (similar to Scouts and Paras) and those greater than 57mm a Camo of 5 (similar to Rifle) they may be worth purchasing in multi-player. Alternatively, reducing their cost by 25% might make them worth buying even with the bad Camofluage rating...
Keep up the good work!
