Repeated intro

Hello All,

What changed

0 fixes2 additions3 changes0 removals
  • Gameplay
  • Performance
changedArmored Front will be taking a different turn and going big and heavy! Instead of the T34, you will now be taking command of the Legendary Tiger 1 Heavy Tank. The core concept will be more or less the same but from now on the game will be centered around a Tiger tank in North African Theatre.
changedWhat is new and will be available at Early Access release?Skirmish gameplay mode
addedWhat is new and will be available at Early Access release?New renderer (much better visuals with improved performance)
changedWhat is planned for Final Release?I have some exciting things planned but I want to avoid too much detail as certain things are still in progress. However, Career Mode featuring Grand Strategy, Open World Campaign, Advance AI, and Tank Upgrades will remain as planned. Also, there will be improvements to everything listed above.
addedWhat about the Early Access release date?While I always have the best of intentions when I try to predict a release date, I hate potentially changing it and disappointing you all. Therefore, since there are many things that could affect game development, I am a little reluctant to predict when this would come out. For the time being, the release date is still to be decided. There is still a lot of work ahead, but I am very excited and cannot wait to share more updates with you. While I am guilty of at times being too optimistic on timelines, I will do my best to share more on the new Tiger as soon as I can. I appreciate your continued interest and your patience so far. Stay safe out there!

I hope you are all safe during these uncertain times. I know it has been some time since my last update, but development has been going strong and I have some exciting news for you. I will try to keep this short, sweet, and to the point.

Armored Front will be taking a different turn and going big and heavy! Instead of the T34, you will now be taking command of the Legendary Tiger 1 Heavy Tank. The core concept will be more or less the same but from now on the game will be centered around a Tiger tank in North African Theatre.

What is new and will be available at Early Access release?

  • You will Take Command of a Panzerkampfwagen VI Tiger

  • The game takes place in the treacherous landscape of North Africa giving an open landscape better suited for tank combat

  • Gunner Crew Station: Manually (with touch controller) operate the mighty 88 gun

  • Loader Crew Station: Play as the loader and manually load/unload the gun with different types of shells

  • Commander Crew Station: Give basic commands to AI tank crew, call-in support

  • Call in Stuka close air support

  • Call in artillery strikes

  • AI tank crew and ability to give basic commands

  • New renderer (much better visuals with improved performance)

What is planned for Final Release?

I have some exciting things planned but I want to avoid too much detail as certain things are still in progress. However, Career Mode featuring Grand Strategy, Open World Campaign, Advance AI, and Tank Upgrades will remain as planned. Also, there will be improvements to everything listed above.
