Northover Projector missing (TEST SERVER)

“Engineers in Flametrooper squads will be able to build these in all BRs - similar in function to the Soviet Ampulomet, the Northover Projector can fire self-igniting phosphorus grenades over a considerable distance.”

Not a single nation has this weapon on the test server.

Instead, USA and Germany now have the ampulomet as a squad upgrade option (USSR already had it).
Japan has neither the ampulomet or northover projector.

Japan flamer 1: no projector/ampulomet

Japan flamer 2: no projector/ampulomet

Germany legacy flamer 1: no projector/ampulomet

Wait pls

First I tested USSR, it was ampulomet.
Now I tested USA, it says ampulomet in the upgrade screen, but in practice area I do have the projector

Also regarding the northover projector i think it’s only for US (Allied) and there’s a possibility it might not be meant for Japan. I will let them know about the legacy german flametrooper

So it’s more of a localization / typo issues on the upgrade screen ?

Hmmm I read the news topic again about the projector.
It’s only mentioned under USA.
So other nations should not have it, that’s good then.
But yes it is shown as ampulomet instead of projector in the squad upgrade screen.

On the engineer menu it says projector but shows ampulomet

When I build it, it’s a projector

But when I shoot it, it’s fire, not fosfor

  • Why does Germany suddenly have an ampulomet, it was not in the news.
  • And Japan now is the only nation without any ampulomet/projector

(sorry if the topic is messy, I just woke up, I remembered I hadnt tested the projector yet and the test server ends in less than 3 hours so it was a quickie)

So the Northover shoots fire instead phosphorus , Name is still incorrect as it shoud be Northover.

German always had ampulomets (prob missing for that legacy squad only)

I gues this is the conclusion right ?

Yes that seems right

Yes, the Northover Projector is for the USA (Flametrooper squads) only.

Preliminary patchnotes:

  • Added a new buildable structure for Engineers: Northover Projector. American and British engineers in Flametrooper squads can build these in all BRs.

New weapons and vehicles post:

Yeah sorry I misread the news topic

It’s like a Molotov Coctail that you can fire at longer ranges:

It was basically a glass bottle filled with a combination of phosphorous and benzine, upon breaking the phosphorous igniting the benzine on exposure to the air.

@_WARHEAD I guess this is your answer for the Northover Projector projectile

Yeah I was expecting this thing to launch phosphorous grenades similar to the phosphorous handgrenades, but apparently it functions similar to the ampulomet.

Then all seems well, except for 1 or 2 small visual/text errors.
