✨ Jungle Fire update

Well to be fair, there’s a hidden recoil modificator when a bayonet is installed… so those values might in truth be better than premium one.

But, like you and me said earlier, as44 won’t change anything. The broken stats Fedorov is much better in any ways possible, and unlocked much earlier.

I see the as44 as a sidegrade. I’ll keep my ppsh41. (If I want to use assault rifles, I’ll play Germany.)

What’s strange to me, is everyone talk about boring as44, but not about the beautiful, buffed armour IS2. Now that’s an interesting unlock!

Oh man, worst fears confirmed, thanks for the update on that. Sad days

While AT guns and Rocket launchers are better than ever, tank shells are also way more consistent even HE. It’s a good chance if you ask me. Planes were way too op. If only they’d stop my barrel from shaking.

Great now the game is even more ruined than it was. Everyone will play allies and against bots because axis is even more unplayable. Why ?

Well, Berlin and Normandy was basically the only 2 campaigns where an axis player had a chance of winning with randoms, now Berlin is also unplayable because the new IS-2 is even harder to kill, the IL-2 still has more resistance against MGs than a literal tank. And the AVT-40 + AS44 spam combined with the upcoming new MM that takes player level into account is garbage it gives the allies even more advantage than before.

And most importantly many players grind for the new tanks so most of the games are filled with top level players, who play with other top levels in coop to make it even better. Yes axis players also do that, but I’ve seen soviet top level players a lot more often than axis ones. Also in most maps in Berlin there’s way too much cover because everything is a pile of debris and the sovies guns are a lot better at close range.

Stalingrad is just the question of who can spam more ppsh41/mkb 42/mp717. And when it gets to tank combat greyzone camper kv-1 spam happens every game. Good luck defeating those with paper panzers. (Yes they can be penetrated but theres always 2 of them and they are really tanky and can one shoot you, well balanced. Only reasonable way to kill them is Stuka suicide bombing. TNT charge would work, but their natural habitat is in the grey zone and you can’t even physically reach them.

Tunesia was already british AT gun+mg+sherman 3 spam+snipers on roof which is already a dead sentence, especially since most players are bots or low levels, nothing changed. Lack of cover and open fields in most maps doesn’t help either, and smoke grenades dont last forever. Only way to win is spam flamethrowers and pray that your teammates are not entirely retarded or literally bots.(Which is usually not the case.)

If you don’t believe me, play 2 battles Tunesia Axis, then 2 battles Tunesia Allies and you will get an emotional shock.

Pacific is also garbage, the M13 half track doesnt blow up from the Japanese heavy MG unless I shoot all crew members, the ammo rack doesnt blow up, even if I shoot it with heavy MG for 2 minutes. The M2 browning is better in every way, well balanced. The Japanese get a sword, while the Jenkys get a full-auto shotgun. Well balanced. As for tanks the Japanese tank mgs are even worse than the infantry ones and the cannon is joke, paper armor doesn’t help much either. Most of the games is M50 reising spam versus the bolt actions and type hei. They are all good guns but most of the combat takes place in close range anyways, so smg spammer monkeys will win either way.

Normandy is somewhat balanced and playable unless someone takes a P47 and nukes the entire map.
And when you kill them a new one will appear 30 seconds later. I mean the Ju-188A is also very powerful but theres a huge difference. Tigers were only playable in Normandy (IS-2+Panzerfaust spam in every corner in Berlin), now with the new Sherman soon they will be unplayable everywhere, good job. This is important because now it will be harder to defend from Sherman Jumbo spam.

Moscow the OG campaign would be one of the best, but it is ruined by tank spam in open areas where the Russian tanks are better in both firepower and armor at every unlock level. And then theres the Fedorov spam and the early unlock laser SMGs.

(Personal opinion of a 70% win rate axis main, 1800 battles played.)

No, seriously. Turn the flames orange again. What the hell is this? There is no improvement, it is still white instead of being realistic (and we had the realism right before the 30th of March 2022).


Does anybody know if I can install a mod that lets me avoid this blinding abomination and see an actual flame?

Soviets players play worse than bots so i wouldn’t worry about them being too op but if MM going to work as intended while finding players of equal skill then Axis would lose 80% of the time since they are inferior to Soviets.

Anyone else has huge drops on old Pacific map? I’m dropping framerate heavely to as low as 3fps up to 27fps for few secs every few mins and then it hops back to 100+ fps as usual. Played single match on new Pacific map and it was working fine 140+fps all the time with very small drops.

This prioritization of the destroy feature has caused HMGs and other enterable engineers structures to be unusable for console players (mabey PC is affected I don’t know) with this update,and I see bug reports of players not knowing why the update has made a crucial part of the game suddenly unusable,please revert the prioritization back to how it was.

I agree in some terms.
Rocket Spam / AP Mine Spam / American grenadiers can get M2 Carabine over all there is NO balance /
KV 1 is a castle of steal :smiley: / no counter of 2 people in use for snipers and flamethrowers /
you can play on Normandy 3 grenadier troops with over 27 times M2 carabines :stuck_out_tongue: vs 12 STG and 3 MG´s … gg wp ez?
Pacific the same. 8 times MP100 late and 2 stormtroopers out of an flamethrower troop vs. 23 times M2 carabines and 2 Thomsons :smiley: Its just a joke.
Its like a difficulty decision before you start the game.
Axis = hardcore mode / Katalysmus
Ally = EZ game / if not rocket spam

LETS GOOOOOOO

Love the update so far!

Yes, same here.

I couldn’t have said it better myself it’s pulling teeth playing Axis but it’s a carefree day on the Ally side especially when you have a team.

I love the additions, but the A.I. seems to still just stand out in the open and die. I don’t know why they won’t atleast try to preserve their own lives, but they dont.

I liked the UI and ambient changes, such as the gun sounds. The new levels are also interesting (will be good additions, especially with the new tech tree).

It’s usually hard to change the UI, as people are used to the old one and get sensible to new changes, taking some time to adapt, but this update’s changes felt immediately more pleasing. Good job.

It took little while getting used to but then one realisze it was better that way, divided, managed and clean which means good order

yes AA limit should be removed no brainer, they were used as such.
And it’s needed in game to hold down objectives. Still easy for another player to take out as should be

that all ssounds like skill isuue and having bad luck with bot team. Game is slightly unbalanced in weapons/vehicles as should be, it’s historical, and the unbalance is what makes fun too.
Game is about Squads and you use different Squads to take out different enemies.
Ofc no Pz.II can take on a T-34, so you Stuka bomb it, and no you don’t need to suicide to do it, that again is skill issue. Enemy going close with lot of SMGs? you go range and snipe em. Enemy holding down path to obective real good with MG nests etc? you go flank em.
There is always a way to take anything else out, there is no excuse, just learn to deal with threats in a way that works

New Georgia looks pretty nice so far, I have’nt played all the map yet but the wrecked ship was awesome.

The AS44 being in the main campaign path is absurd. AS44 never entered service it should only be BP and Prem. Or is thing a change to where we can see some experimental weapons in pathways? Drum SMGs mid campaign for other factions? Heavy IO? Muas? Ratte - E100? German Jets? V3’S? American Nukes? Guns that shoot around corners? Anything is possible or is this just plain old ugly Russian Bias?
