Heroes of the West is a Western Front mod for the WWII game Red Orchestra 2. The United States Army and the British Commonwealth against Nazi Germany..
This update brings in 1 new map, 2 new tanks and the M1A1 bazooka.
The Americans now have the M4A3(75) at their disposal. A Mid production Ford M4A3. Armed with a 75mm gun. A very useful infantry support tank which can holy its own against other German medium tanks. It's weak armour means it can be penetrated easier. But its faster reload speed and angling your armour can make a sherman a scary thing on the battlefield.
The Germans get the Stug III Ausf G. Originally designed for infantry support. It got upgraded with a long barreled 75mm gun with a modified gun mantlet to cater for a Coaxial MG. As well as a remote controlled top mounted MG. Making it good at both infantry support and dealing with armour in ambush positions.
Bocage is a new map which is just that. A series of bocages. Tall Hedgerows line the roads and farmland. Death could be around every corner. American forces had to navigate terrain like this as they advanced through Normandy. This is set during operation cobra as American forces closed in on the town of Saint Lo. Stumbling across a German flak and Artillery battery backed up by reinforcements from Paris.
Still waiting for the M1A1 Thompson...
Psyched!
