i'll never get that Normandie Niemen decal ;(
I want to use CoH2 crew voicepacks again but modder said until you release the directory information that he need he can't update his mods. Please release them now. Thanks.
We have already published all the information and files necessary for sounds mods.
"Defender of the fatherland" --> Shows soviet vehicles... After this, there is nothing special in it, when somebody writes: "Dovbleg". :)
Good. Very gooood. NOW WE NEED DOVBLEGS
"Defender of the fatherland" meh, thought this would have been a German event.
Do they EVER do arcade events? It would be interesting to participate one day with my normal flying group.
Please stop with the RNG one of the three decals thing. You know most people want the grenade and I'm sure that will be the most rare too
Except for all of us who already have 2/3 of these decals (including Grenade), so what we are going to get is certain (Shield Star).
Great ... keep giving out the same old stickers for years. I got the achievement and no sticker of course because I already have them all....
Same :(
Are those screenshots taken on B0ris's Spring Awakening Map? It looks unfamiliar yet familiar at the same time
sure
