Why GC for US and not Soviet

Post by simcc »

My question to the developer is why US get a GC while Soviet don't get the GC?

It's was soviet who won the war and have more clashes with the Germans than US. I find this very unfair to Soviet as I love playing Soviets. I do hope that the developer consider getting the Soviet their must earn GC rather than US.

Thx

First of all because the US are the bigger market. And also because we saw a ton of Eastern Front already in the German Grand Campaign. What would be the point? It'd be the same battles just from the other perspective. That can maybe be done at some point but something fresh is needed first.People were a bit sick of the eastern front after the Wehrmaht Grand Campaign. Also Allied Corps was released before Soviet Corps so it might as well get the GC treatment first.

Also please keep politics out of the forums claiming it was the soviets alone who won the war. Nobody won WWII on their own.

Agreed, but I think we can all agree Hitler lost World War 2. ;)

Keldor Katarn, wasn't making a political statement and you must have political agenda in mind to make a mistake on my statement.

Soviet won the war = March to Berlin so a GC for Soviet would means I get to see Berlin
And more clashes = you must have miss out this which is why you claim its political, that's what I mean doing a soviet GC will have more clashes compare to a US GC.

US are bigger market or the world is bigger market? Narrow perspective on your end.
We saw a ton of Eastern Front doesn't mean players like me dun wanna play as soviet or using conscript. I love using conscript which gives me a feel of cheap unit and expandable. Again you do not speak for everyone to say it's pointless to play as Soviet in eastern front.
Nobody won WW2 on their own, strictly speaking nobody won in WW2 as everyone lose something. Soviet who won the war means they took Berlin simple so if you do not understand what I wrote do not misinterprete, please ask for clarifications rather than claiming that I am making a political statement. I am only saying what I like as a gamer and if that offended you then kindly do not read simple.

Goose_2, Not only Hitler lost WW2, almost every nation that join in lost lives, resources, infrastructure and cultural beauty. Strictly speaking there is no winner in war and everyone is at a lost.

When I started working on US Corps, it was October-November 2014. At that time, no Soviet Corps, no new Soviet units.

Quite incorrect. Decision to go with Soviet Corps was made in October 2013 and after initial preparations Panzer Corps game witnessed big delays. Units were there but not in released files.

Once things got rolling again release schedules and content to be released were adjusted to current realities. Sea Lion was much more simple to get going because it was a DLC, Soviet Corps as an expansion had more parts than just content and finally got its all parts assembled and now US Corps is looking the light of a day.

So things have nothing to do with the way how people could imagine them or reasons they could imagine but they have a lot to do with how internal things are sorted in development sector. Also things can be quite unpredictable because when Soviet Corps was planed it was planed as last content but after long delay things have changed and we are witnessing more content for Panzer Corps which is good at the end. Peoples personal preferences about what they should see next may differ but take into account things are happening in the way that reflects realities development is faced with. After big delay content that was on the drawing board is released one after another and it is logical to use diversification of theaters.

Well Thx nikivdd and uran21 for the reply. I am assuming you both are the developers. I do understand that no matter what you guys do it will always disappoint someone that's the hard part of game developer. So I do hope to see soviet GC after US GC I assume. I am looking forward for US GC but I find it too short which consist of only 3 DLC but still understandable as U.S. involvement was shorter. So I hope soviet GC is bigger and Thx for the great game again

I have been playing this game for more than a year and have not even gotten through half of what this game has to offer.

I love the fact that new stuff is still coming out for it and as long as it continues to get support from us fans it will continue to keep getting new content....hopefully
