oh yeah baby... been waiting a while for this one, hopefully they have the armour values tweeked up so that side of the sim is a bit more realistic than ARMA II, i have been itching to have a good modern WWII tank sim for ages!
never have been able to get the I-44 mod to work properly with my steam CO installation!

Cheers

Anyone..?

Looks like a great game

Yes it's a stand alone rather than an add on or a mod, but will use the engine used in Arma 2 OA. There'll be modifications to the way the engine calculates damage so it'll be much more realistic than Arma's hit box DM which isn't very good at simming armoured warfare. It'll be out end of this year/begining of next.

They bought the licence to use the Virtual Battlefiled Engine implemented in ArmA2.
AS Liberation was a successfull mod in Operation Flashpoint, the "Il2-1946" of the ArmA series (means BIS first release), they now jumped on the commercial way to create a own WW2 combat sim.

Actually similar like Red Orchestra which was licenced by the Counterstrike engine.

So yes it is a standalone game by full price.
Announced to be released in this autumn.

Looks brilliant.
