Has any time-table been established for the release of the Western DLC content? I assume it will begin with DLC 43 West? After the West DLC content is released, what is the next step for Panzer Corps? Pacific campaign?

There's no release date yet. Kerensky is already working on it.

No official announcement made yet, but something should be coming along shortly. Once the Western DLC start to appear though, it would be safe to assume they will arrive once per month, similar timetables to Eastern Front Grand Campaign DLC.

That's good to hear. What will happen after the Western DLCs are completed? It's been nice to have new content to look forward to over the last year.

Great to hear! Is there any chance you would consider doing 41 and 42 West DLC as well?

There wasn't anything happening in the West in 41 and 42.

It depends upon how far you go West.

If you go far enough there is plenty of action in the Pacific.

Not with the Germans.
In The Grand Campaign you play on the German side with Germans troops.

There could (and should) be a 1946 'What if" DLC that a player can play if he succeeds in defeating the Soviet Union and links up with the Japanese in India.

It seems to me that a "not too much what if" could probably be better for a DLC, and must follow what is already done in these great campaigns

If for exemple the 1945 DLC west begins with the Ardennes we could imagine two 1945 DLC : a normal and historic one (with fighting in front of and behind the Rhine, Alsace and Germany) and the "bonus DLC campaign" if the ardennes scenario is a decisive victory : a 1945-1946 what if...East. Assuming Ardennes was a great victory and a separated peace is signed in the west, (yes, an impossible thing but not as impossible than A german-japan junction and reliable on what already exists)

it could be fun to see the last materials for the two countries : not the "science fiction ones" but the most advanced projects for the germans (gotha for planes for exemple) and the LA-9, IL-10 for the russians

an "apotheose" for the last "german dlc", 2 DLCs in one package after the first scenario !

and a gift by the designers for our fidelity to about 10 DLCs :lol:

but it's a lot of work for Kerensky...but I'm sure we are able to wait a little for that after 43 & 44 west dlcs, no ?

I would just like one where we got a taste of the experimental German units that did not make it into the actual war. We get some of this with the Maus tank in the vanilla campaign during the invasion of the USA, but there are so many more experimental German units that could be introduced. I've advocated in the past that some of these experimental German units could be made available as bonuses in addition to SE units in DLC 45 East (or West for that matter whenever it is released).

I'm definitely looking forward to the Allied version, and hope that a Pacific theater version is developed.

yes you're right alternatively (or with :lol: a "bonus what if" campaign (I don't like that for most of time because I really love history, so I prefer the DLCs than the vanilla with sea lion or "US invasion" -what a joke ! - but i like the PZC's chess pieces !)

it could be an option for the players in all DLCs or with a patch to buy :lol:

but not an order we must respect of kind of players...if free patch..."do you want to play with prototypes units ?" this game is a game of choices, it's just one more !

then the system could be like SE, ok, but FOR the IA too...so the KV5 wouldn't be a weird surprise now :mrgreen:

yet, more versions of some type of equipment could be a good thing (a sub menu or more versions for the the 109 for exemple ? because the 109K is a very fast '45 fighter, the late '44 is a G10 or G14 with a boosted engine...so between the actual G and the K)

nb : the deducter idea of malus points for experience when you change the "family equipment" of the crew is very good too, i think. but it's another subject !
