Guess that explained a lot :>
And found out yesterday, wondering is it true that there are also halftracks, is also modified as tanks, like Sdfkz 265 and Sdfkz 111, 121 and 141? Or tanks are originated from halftracks since they are using the same tracks, and some with the same engines?
And is it correct to say that longer tank turrets fires longer distances, like Panzer IV with 7.5 KwK40 and 7.5 StuK (the name of weaponry are quite confusing), or Tiger that have much longer turret than Panzer IV and StuG?

Just install the new one and you are good to go. No need to install the retail version unless you want to play LAN game.

Brits are nice to use if they have quick map control ally such as Soviets / PE (If the mixed mod is applied) as they have pretty low mobility). I personally like to use PE if it is for semi-defensive with buildings so that I can support from the flanks.

5. From my understandings, it seems that the Tiger is more into defensive tank due to the armor and the rounds that they can use, it seems that they can differ from AT rounds, Armor Piercing Rounds and HE Rounds. Standard AT Guns cannot destroy them easily except using weaponry or mines to destroy the tracks of Tiger. Wonder if it is true and how they use such different ammunition since that in a war an ammunition is quite limited.
6. StuG mobility is much higher than Tiger as well. But how do they design that by using fixed turret, or the self-propelled turrets, like how to differentiate between StuG and StuH (I see they use the same chasis, same turret, only one can lift and one not, with different projectiles)? Cannot really find the difference between tanks and assault guns, as both are used for offensive operations, so far it is quite rare that they used tanks for defense.
7. Can it be said that they produced so much variants, and to differentiate them is because most of the weaponry they used, like tanks are abandoned, so the Allies just capture and use their own paint/ decal with their spare parts, and that is why the Allied have less tank variations compared to Germans, like US they are mostly Shermans, except M26, and for Brits, they have only Churchills and Priest?
8. And they also used Porsche engines for the latter versions of the tanks, right?
I guess that is why there are so many Allies faction to take on against the Axis, especially Germans.

What is the error number mentioned, or is it only limited the unit into 3 Panzerwerfers?

Make a new faction sounds nice too! Looking forward for any additional factions for the Axis (like Japan or other than Germans) and Allied.

Typos on Ostheer:
1. Panzerjaeger. Reinforcing still mentioned on Better Vs Infantry.
2. Panzerwerfer's requirements has been changed to "Assault Pool" instead of "Ranged Unit Support".

Can I apply for that and do I need to make a post or informing about the Chinese Translations? I thought it needs sort of coding or advanced program. I think I am OK in both languages, except the military terms (like unit name) but I believe some research can solve that XD

That sure rings the bell, no wonder they use such unique names for their tanks and have much weaponry compared to Allied units.
Wondering they use the self-explosive unit, Goliath for what reason, as that is also a part of suicidal tactics (though it is only a remote-controlled unit).
And they also categorizes Panther as a medium tank that only combats the T34 (lol). According to what I have read, they stated that Panther don't have any other version is that Panther is not so useful if compared to Tiger and cost-wise to Panzer or StuG.
I do think that German army is quite efficient when it deals with artillery, is there any other mobile artillery other than the Hummel, Wespe or maybe the semi-artillery taker, like Sdfkz Stuka, or Hotchkiss Stuka, and Werbelnerfer?
Is the Scorched Earth tactics a common strategy to use for German, as I know that British used this a lot when the invasion of Japan to the South East Asia countries?

The doctrine Not One Step back is not used as a survival tactics, such as attacking a MG or emplacements with only infantry. Now Commissar is like an Lieutenant or Captain in Brits, where the skill of executes is not there anymore.
I don't often use the execute skill but always as a cannon fodder due to its 0 upkeep and better damage compared to conscripts.

What is the requirement to become a translator, and how to make the texts/ scripts (with which program)? I am also interested to become a translator, for Simplified Chinese if it is possible.

Just wondering and thought of asking to get some knowledge.
It seems that German, or maybe Hitler know how to design the name of the WW2 tanks quite well. From the weakest tank, perhaps Marder, Panzer, till the strongest, Tiger, are all ended with -er or maybe use the name of animals, for the latter ones.
1. How do they classify the tanks based on the name and the origins and the variations, like the Panzer I till Panzer IV, (and Panzer 35 and 38, and I heard there is Panzer X), and Marder I to Marder III, Tiger I to II (and is King Tiger exists)? Is it based on the production line or the effectiveness against the allied army? So far I have searched the tanks have a lot of variants, even the StuH and StuG. The only tank that has no variant is the Panther (at least I never heard about Panther II).
2. Is FlakPanzer II and III exists? So far the Flakpanzer IV is the popular ones and they have a lot of variants, such as Wirbelwind, Ostwind, and Kugelblitz.
3. Since they are in the Axis faction, do Germans also utilize demolish vehicles like the Japanese did, such as kamikaze tactics?

I think PE is good at assault and quick tactics. With Wirbelwind + a few armored cars, you can demolish their buildings easily. Scout car is quite hard to use because of low DPS and the purpose of capturing the points and secure them too.
Which faction you fight for, is it the Soviets?

Well the "must be in territory" is one minor problem, but I think the main problem is that you DON'T have street fighting because you chose breakthrough strategy. Street Fighting is in the urban strategy with sniper ace and partisans. I believe it is the first choice on the left of the urban strategy and you need two cp to unlock it. This is intended, so if you chose urban strategy, you don't have to upgrade sturmovie engineers to get a flamethrower. Correct me if I am wrong 
Actually if you choose Street fighting, if I am correct you can use up to 2 flamethrowers. 1 is from the doctrine that costs 2 CP as you said, then the second flamethrower can upgraded via Armory as well.
