Curious why the "light Cavarly" 2e DB has more Shermans somehow than the "heavy" 3rd Armored Division?

Nice DevBlog.

I really like the idea of a powerful 2e DB for only phase A for early rushes. It'll give an historical feel, feeling like we're Leclerc : "Always forward !":)

Looking forward to playing with it.

"Lesser" Shermans.
Few M4A3, rare 76mm, no Jumbo nor Calliope.

The "light cavalry" is also emphasized by the income pace.

Well that's the reason for the "heavy" naming, as in more tanks rather than simply better. I'll obviously reserve judgement until we see it ingame ourselves, but It's a bit rough seeing the 2e DB with more, and cheaper of the same model, tanks than the 3rd.

Smoke planes sounds really cool.

I wonder if it can disable AA...? heh.

These guys sound like my bag. M10s for anti tank and spamshermans otherwise.

2DB sounds just liky my type of division too. You can go really aggressive from the start (and you should!) and in later phases build up on earlier success.

But Infantry is going to be a real weak point for this division. Defending will not be easy task.

of course the frenchies release a french armoured divisions as a sodding 'surprise'

I hope to god I see them retreating....

What irritates me most of all is that clearly the person making decisions of 'what division to be released next' is brain-dead, it should have been either a german infantry or allied paratrooper....

I do like how all phase A aggression is associated with 'cheese rush' play. It says a lot about how people approach the game, and then complain that the game is too samey when they don't push in phase A.

Well its true majority of players leave 80% of units sitting somewhere and make little advances one at a time with a few key units on one main road or just spam air and arty. But I guess this is just the usual careful approach naturally developing after initial failing to play this game with just attack move to the other end of the map. I guess we get more and more offensive players as skill progresses especially if we get proper matchmaking.

That said I can see how a Division that has 60% more points in Phase A than 3rd plus some very nice tools early could potentially be OP. That said I am eager to try them as I kind of use the 12th and 3rd as light cavalry now already so it would be amazing to try a real one.

Love these unit Devblogs with historical plus ingame part plus nice images. Well done!
