Why are the trenches so straight? The ones shown in the video would be useless as a defensive position and you've really removed a huge amount of the depth and complexity of trench warfare by doing so.

Why is there an M712 in place of the C96? The M712 didn't exist in the First World War.

A Chaser mod, that's not something you see everyday.

Did you guys ever upload the livestream footage to youtube?

Will British units still be included in the initial version, or released alongside the campaign?

Why do you make your trenches so incorrect? They're far too open, short, and straight. They don't have proper traversing or depth in any official map i've seen. They'd provide no protection against artillery and are far too easy to enfilade. Just look at that forth picture. A few enemies prone in the foreground would render it completely useless as a defensive position.

Looks pretty neat, keep up the good work.

To anyone wondering where the update is, you can get it on the official website right now.

Still waiting for that kickstarter. I can't throw money at you if you don't give me the chance.

They're on the forums on like the second to last page of the pictures thread, I hadn't realized they were posted by Macser so they're probably just him testing them internally.

When is the kickstarter listing going to be added?

More than anything I hope you at least release the Krieg vehicles and heavy weapons you were showing off earlier. Do you plan to include the Krieg infantry models that Macser made that you posted in the screenshots? Are those avaliable elsewhere? I swear I saw them in a few other in game screenshots on the forums.

Is development still active? I would very much like to get my hands on the new Krieg models and Vraks map.

There'd be virtually no chance of a subaltern on the front lines wearing an ornate golden uncovered pickelhaube after the introduction of the Stahlhelm... or before, really.

It looks good, but you guys would be making one strange stylistic decision here.

Will there be alternative sidearms? C96 for the Germans, for example?

Is this real time?

It crashes in Singleplayer/Co-op (when I play on a local server), as such I assume it has something to do with the bots.

It crashes after a while with no seemingly apparent trigger. I'd just be playing and BF1942.exe has stopped working. Doesn't happen on any other maps, and there are similar reports i've read elsewhere.

Battleaxe 1918 always - without fail - crashes. Is there any exact fix?

Glad to see progress, keep it up.

I'm just skeptical because things like this tend to never be finished and well

I really want it to be. :b

How active is development at the moment?

Is AI difficulty with trenches the reason why there are only a few western front maps compatible with bots? I'd seriously love to see singleplayer versions of Cambrai, Broodseinde, and the other western front maps be the focus of the possible mappack.

So does that mean there could be a bug fix patch in the future?

Straits Field crashed on loading and Battleaxe crashes after a few minutes.

But a lot of the single player additions are amazing, Belleau Wood in particular was amazing. The extremely small map size made for intense fighting, and the one time I played it my team only won by a about 30 tickets it was so close. Everything changed hands multiple times and it really had a genuine attrition warfare feel.

Also, what maps have the body armor?

Really now? And when are we going to be hearing from that? :D

I've noticed your new avatar...

"Secret Weapons" and "1918", is this supposed to be a hint?

No list of hand weapons? I suppose it'd be a nice surprise.

Although it looked like you only added a few.

Do the Germans have MP18s? I haven't seen any. Same with trenchguns.

Also what map(s) can I find the MKVIIIs on come release?

Ooh, never heard of this. Big guns on subs look neat.

Are you guys going to add appropriate early war British headgear?

I played on one of the 1914 maps and they were wearing steel helmets.

Also are any late war western front maps getting bot support in 3.1? Is the server still up? If so, when are people on?
