Yet another update and nothing done for the M1 Carbine... :/

[BushElito]

I hope those map changes be worth it, because this update is basically just a content update.

At least the grind is less annoying.

The influx of new officers might put more strain on the RTS queues, but idk.

On deeper thought, I must ask, is this a troll, if so, loving brilliant.
If not, please fix it, Mountain town is already cancerous and to common.

Great work Reto.

Love the changes and look forward to playing them.

An additional thanks should be given for up ranking all those low level shoulders of mine I have been meaning to do something with. I might actually have some motivation to use them soon.

Some good changes. Though, just wondering.. No additional changes to (broken) squad nor improved pick battle mechanics as requested?

- Being thrown in squad with low(er) ranked squad leader that lack aux. seats;
- Not able to switch assault lines when playing solo after leaving squad;
- Not able to switch class when playing solo (either when going solo or in squad);
- Not able to pick a battle through previous battle list (RTS map is still so darn slow and it's time consuming finding a match to your likings besides being kicked out of queue for no reasons).
- Matchmaker still generating very unbalanced and no fun matches where 2 recons v 10 tanks happens.

Pretty often mentioned annoyances here in the forums..

Missed chance.


p.s.
The grind is something most longer time players do not care about and i cant really recall this being mentioned a lot in the forum recently.
Less grind leads to low ranked and inexperienced players reaching the role of SL even sooner thus more often will experienced players be thrown in a squad where SL does not have aux. seats nor reads the game to change assault lines according to the situation. But we'll see.

Introducing:

Heroes and Mountain Towns

The mountain pioneering game where you play the same map over and over from Paris to Rotterdam, the most mountainous region in the world!

No airfields or other maps to break your mountain man mojo!

[Dracolithfiend]

A healthy mix of maps is far funner than a cluster of mountain towns, a cluster of factories, a cluster of towns. . . .

[HonzaCS]

Thanks Reto!
Can't wait to try all these new tanks.

Don't forget the times when you can't join a battle after you die, because the icons dissapear.

Or, the weapon glitching when proned.

I don't think that guards will clog everything so much.
Maybe the soviets will have more ATs, so later on more and bigger production and so on.

If you like mountain town, check out the area between rotterdam and paris.

100% mountain town.

[Shocksim750]

The French Town Map, for some reason there is a bicycle / truck that infinitely spawns between 01 and C4 alleyway that instantly explodes. It seems to be spawning inside one of the building. I don't know where it is exactly but you can hear the sound of it constantly spawning and exploding.

[Rionat]

Oh boy my dedicated AT infantry can already smell the xp I'll be farming off all the new tanks just like how panther got farmed hard on first week of release
