Dev Diary #11: Get in the tank!

30 Apr

Hey tankers!

Ever wondered what it's like commanding a tank platoon and troops from inside a Sherman tank? Well, buckle up, because we're about to take you on an exclusive tour!

Your Command Center

Picture this: you're seated in the commander's seat, surrounded by the hum of the engine and the anticipation of battle. Look up, and you'll find yourself greeted by the panoramic view of the battlefield through our 360-degree periscope. No more guesswork, you've got eyes on every angle.

But that's not all. Take a peek through our fixed viewports, strategically positioned to give you six unique vantage points. Need to lock onto a target? No sweat. Our weapon sights are synced up with turret movement, ensuring your aim is always on point, whether you're engaging with the main gun or the trusty coaxial.

Giving Orders

As the commander, you're the maestro of this metal orchestra, directing your crew's every move with finesse. Want to roll out? Just give the order, and your driver will get you moving. Need to pivot on a dime? Tell your crew to "Clock" it or "March on" to your next target. And when it's time to unleash hell, coordinate your gunner's fire with precision, whether you want it on your mark or on their own.

And let's not forget about your loader and bow gunner. They're your right-hand crewmates, ready to load up whatever ammo you need, from high-explosive rounds to armor-piercing shells. And that 30-caliber machine gun? It's your secret weapon, packing a punch from the hull.

Navigating the Chaos

In the chaos of battle, navigation is key. Luckily, we've got you covered. Keep your bearings with our dynamic compass, guiding you through the fray with ease. And don't forget about our trusty map (currently a work in progress), your bird's-eye view of the battlefield.

With clear markers for friendlies, hostiles, and key objectives, you'll never lose your way.

Ready for Action?

So, are you ready to command the battlefield from inside the Sherman tank? Get ready for an adrenaline-fueled experience. Strap in, lock and load, and prepare to dominate the opposition. Victory is within your grasp!

All best,
Sherman Team

Dev Diary #10: Let's Hit the Road!

23 Feb

Hey tankers!

It's time to show you some of the real deal! So far, you've had the chance to learn a bit about infantry (Creating Realistic Soldier Character Models), see the streets of Aachen (Battle-Ready Urban Jungle), or the open fields of Normandy (Exploring the Open Fields of Normandy) where epic battles will take place. Today, let's talk about the heart and soul of any tank game: the vehicles, or how they move, to be precise! But, let's remember that everything you see is still a work in progress.

As you probably already know, Sherman Commander will feature many vehicles from the World War II era, including, of course, the titular Sherman (M4A3E8). On the battlefield, you'll also encounter units such as the American Sherman M4A3, M10 Wolverine, M8 Greyhound, M3 Halftrack, Willys Jeep, and from the German side - PzKpfw IV Ausf. G, Panzer V Panther, Panzer VI Tiger, Panzer III J, Panzer III M, Panzer II C, StugIII G, Sdkfz 251, Kubelwagen, and Opel Blitz.

Each vehicle naturally has different parameters, affecting its speed, maneuverability, or the ability to overcome obstacles. Certainly, how a vehicle behaves on a given terrain will be also influenced by whether the vehicle has wheels, tracks, or both. 🙂

We'd also like to draw your attention to how vehicles behave when overcoming obstacles, specifically the work of wheels and tracks. They react to every unevenness encountered, adding realism to the visual side of the game and making overcoming them just look cool!

Let's go back to the obstacles for a moment, as we'll encounter them quite often, and they'll often have strategic applications and a clear impact on the course of battle. While most vehicles will be able to handle bomb craters or small hills, then again, hedges, walls, or larger elevations will only be passable by tracked vehicles.

We'll be coming back to both vehicles and obstacles in future posts. Let us know in the comments how you like what we've shown you so far!

All best,
Sherman Team

Dev Diary #9: Exploring the Open Fields of Normandy

25 Jan

Hey, Tank Commanders!

In our previous peek, we delved into the urban chaos of Aachen. Now, let's venture into the challenging landscapes of Normandy. It's not just pretty scenery, it's where strategic warfare takes center stage.

Normandy, rich in history, is a place where Allied forces faced a maze of obstacles, both natural and man-made. From hills and tree lines, through rivers and ponds, all the way to fences, stone walls and the famous hedgerows which posed some of the most serious tactical challenges for the attackers in this phase of the war. Not only did these barriers limit visibility, but also channeled the attackers into killing zones, where German defenders were dug in, with concealed anti-tank guns trained on the most probable vectors of approach. Overcoming these challenges often required innovation, such as tank-mounted "salad forks", allowing tanks to break through the hedgerows and open new pathways for the infantry.

Thick forests may impede movement, offering opportunities for ambushes. Destructible fences and walls allow for creating new pathways, and capturing crucial bridges and fords will often be key to victory. While small bridges accommodate only infantry, larger ones will allow tanks to cross, thus becoming pivotal points that demand careful consideration. Rivers, though beautiful, might prove insurmountable obstacles, potentially altering the course of the battle.

Normandy's rural charm unfolds with scattered villages, rustic houses, and barns dotting the picturesque countryside. As peaceful as it might seem, the environment is a maze of death traps, illustrating the scope of predicament that the Allies faced during the Normandy breakout. In this challenging theater of operations, only commanders with a keen eye and tactical acumen will gain the upper hand over the enemy.

So, gear up, Commanders, as we embark on a journey where the fields of Normandy become the battlegrounds of strategic brilliance.

All best,
Sherman Team

Two cents, nickels...or whatevertf you seppos use.

This game looks interesting af, but the tank commander sounds like a contrived 'tom hanks' and is way too calm (juxtaposed by sgt wilkes who is justifiably totally freaking out) so plz lose that. Also, I get that it's called Sherman Commander but you would do yourselves a MASsive giggity by letting us play as both sides in a dlc. GIVE US, that Hidden and Dangerous vibe, in armour. I beseech thee....

Why did they change it from Q4 2023 to Coming Soon?

Does this mean it could arrive later or sooner? Discord?
