This is definately good news, and IMO will change the game immensly!

Sometimes, it is better to say nothing at all. Cause big mouths results in big words, and big words travel like bacteria.

Well, it might be nice eye-candy but when it comes down to it, graphics alone does not improve gameplay. I'm not saying the game is bad in any way but just don't really see how it will change the game immensly.

it should make a big difference when the graphics were what was worst about that game..

Of course it will help Gameplay immensly!  Now the Infantry will actually have cover that WORKS.  Before, it was 2d bushes and 2d trees, with a few 3d trees here and there.  It was easy to spot tanks from the air, easy to spot Infantry from the air, and easy to spot EVERYTHING because it was almost all 2d and the trees didn't move.  With the new update, trees are fully 3d and not only that, but they sway in the wind.  The #1 reason most Infantry in WW2OL die, is because if a Tank or Airplane, etc. sees any tiny movement, they know its a Infantry because grass and trees don't move.  This is a GREAT improvement, and the only downside I can think of is those with lower end machines (me)

Oh well, time to get a job I guess

Maybe it can get a gameplay overhaul too...

You mean like a brand new UI due out around 1.14? (1.13 is due out in a week or two and 1.14 is due out around 6 weeks after that.)

Or Unit Brigade Spawning and Deployment? Which has been in the works for a while now and is beginning to be added step at a time? (Deployment of bombers and naval bases, the ORBAT system that is currently being used for scenarios, the new HC tags, the brigade sign ups that are being done in the new CSR, new officer meshes being done for infantry, the new "fallback, hold at all costs" etc that is already added or due out around 1.14.

Lots of awesome changes are on the way to WW2OL and some are being developed that we don't even know about yet! (Like the new foilage we didn't know about until a few weeks ago.)
