Urban Building Damage States - Returning!

[Cornered Rats]

While we continue to have several new replacement buildings coming to WWII Online, they're taking much longer than we originally anticipated. In an effort to re-open the play space NOW and create dynamic urban (big city) gameplay, I've asked our team to reactivate Urban Building Damage states. We've also been in there making a couple of fixes and adding some new ways for users to interact with the environment, like makeshift boards leading you up to new places. Continue onto the article to see pictures and a couple of transitions between standing vs damaged states.

I love this.  I find fighting in cities deadly dull and ahistorically predictable.....its a subtle but really exciting change.  Love it.  One question....will these planks allow me to get a pak36 on a roof, ala Grant at San Cosmo Gate?

will it be in a patch , or sooner ?

Great idea!  One aspect of the original rubble was that is was dark an variegated, making it hard to see infantrymen which is more realistic.  Can you change the color of the rubble state to darker colors as to to make it harder to distinguish troops in the rubble?  The current tan pallet is too bright and infantry stand out too much.

Looks fantastic - should be great to have rubble back, need that imo.

Be sure to fix the Helle, Rethel, Grobb, Couvin and Temse AI before releasing.
