DesertCombat .35 is now available!

DesertCombat .35 is aimed as a patch release to .3, it adds mainly bugs fixes and balancing from user feedback, we are listening to everything you are saying and .35 is just that. .35 is not aimed at a huge vehicle release, that will come in .4 but there are some cool new things in .35 such as a new weapons system. Weapons are more accurate now when crouching or lying down, adding to realism. New A-10 cluster bombs, new Iraq BRDM2 Spandrel tank killer as well as some new hand weapons like the Iraq Anti personel mines and Stinger missles for those pesky helicopters.

We also include a new DesertCombat map called LostVillage, it places US forces in a small base outside a village controlled by Iraq, US needs to take control of this town, but it wont be easy, the US is only armed with Blackhawk helicopters so beware of the Iraqi stinger missles. Even if you do get down on the ground, watch your 6, Iraqi's are everywhere..

Here are some screenshots.

The Assault Class gets an Edge, another new model/skin of the DC Mod!

A new grenade launcher of the typ GP-30 attached to the AK-47 and will be an addition to the Assault Class (see the render shots), which will be included in the next version of DC 0.35! The model was done by "SW-14"! That's an excellent job and a great model of "SW-14"!

• Featured Vehicle: German Sturmmorser Tiger (Sturmtiger)
  
  
  When the Germans needed a powerful field vehicle to destroy fortified positions, the idea to merge a heavy 38cm naval mortar (used to bust submarines) with a Tiger I tank chassis gave birth to the Sturmtiger.
  
  The short-barreled mortar projector fired a huge 761 lb shell that traveled up to 18,000 feet. Even more unique, the shell was a gas-propelled rocket that had to be inserted into the barrel by a crane that was attached to the vehicle. In October of 1943, the first prototype was shown and demonstrated while Adolph Hitler and staff looked on.
  
  Using damaged Tiger I tanks to create the vehicle since German forces couldn't spare new tanks, the Sturmtiger's were manufactured and put to use in the war, if only for a brief period.
  
  Watch out for this rolling bunker buster.
  
  Technical Stats:
  Armament: 1 - 38cm (15") Mirser StuM RW6 1 L/5.4 mortar projector
  Engine: Maybach, HL 230 P45, V-12, gas, 700 hp
  Speed: 25 mph
  Range: 75 miles
  Crew: 5
  Weight: 68 tons
  
  Stay tuned for another featured vehicle (and screenshots) next week!
