Preliminary list of changes for the February update

[Shiivex]

A man of culture right here

[Veekay45]

All of this sounds nice and QoL.

@Keofox

Puddles no longer disappear after a tank drives over them.

Don’t remember if anyone reported it but very frequently when I get out of my APC I get a splash on my face as if I landed in a shallow river, even when it’s just ground underneath.

Please consider swapping Snowy USSR (ex Moscow) and Stalingrad BR brackets (1-5 and 1-3 respectively).

Apart from AI (except the try not to leave part. Made me laugh), I dont feel much impact but maybe I am wrong.

@Adamnpee

Are they going to be smaller now?

Yeah, they used to be small before but a bug made them have the same height as soldiers from other factions, so they’re back to being smol

@Keofox

AI soldiers

• AI soldiers can be sent into trenches and they will use it as cover (they will try not to leave).
• AI soldiers now react more actively to player markers, unless they are expecting a previously detected enemy to emerge from cover.
• AI soldiers now finish off heavily wounded enemies in hand-to-hand combat (it’s not a war crime, we’re in the game).
• Improved memorization of the last known position of a spotted enemy by AI soldiers. Soldiers will be more vigilant and will wait longer for attacks from dangerous directions.
• During descent on a ladder, AI soldiers will get stuck less often.

Locations and Missions

• Our approach to balancing game missions has been changed. Now the “capture time” of the same type of points will not differ in all missions. Points located in the open will be captured slightly faster, but they will also be identical to each other in all missions. In the future, we will not balance missions with the speed of capturing points.
• Adjusted winter biomes in the Ardennes location.
• Added mission “Munda Trail: Shimizu Hill (Invasion)”.
• Added a new mission “Dominant height South (Invasion)”.
• Added a new mission “The Reich Chancellery West (Invasion)”.
• Improved the ground vehicle spawn points and battle areas in the “Monastery (Invasion)”, “Monastery (Destruction)” and “Pokrovskoe City (Invasion)” missions.
• Improved the spawn points and battle areas in the “Verbig station (Confrontation)” and “Verbig station (Invasion)” missions.
• Improved the ground vehicle spawn points and battle areas in the “Ver-sur-Mer (Conquest)”, “Communist street (Confrontation)”, “The Kroll Opera House (Assault)”, “Omer North (Invasion)”, “Gogol street West (Invasion)” missions.
• Improved the ground vehicle spawn points and battle areas in the “Fortified district (Invasion)” mission.
• Improved the spawn points and battle areas in the “Gare de Saint-Lo (Confrontation)”, “Gare de Saint-Lo South (Invasion)” and “Gare de Saint-Lo North (Invasion)” missions.
• Improved the infantry spawn points and battle areas in the “Dominant height (Invasion)” mission.
• Improved the battle areas in the “Quarry South (Invasion)”, “Quarry North (Invasion)”, “Omer South (Invasion)”, “Omer North (Invasion)” missions.
• Improved the infantry and vehicle spawn points in the “Airfield West (Invasion)”, “Airfield East (Invasion)”, “La Perelle Village North (Invasion)”, “La Perelle Village South (Invasion)”, “Omer North (Invasion)”, “Omer South (Invasion)” missions.
• Improved the vehicle spawn points in the “D-Day North (Invasion)” mission.

Amazing
I am blown away, bravo
Hopefully these maps changes make some happy enough, not to just quit when certian maps come up

EDIT: Just saying, it is bad timing, to put test server up, when in middle of event?

[_i4i]

Now’s, your chance for your say

Testing the major update (February 15)

[shot_5120x2880_2024] The test server is available from February 15 14:20 (UTC) to February 16 14:20 (UTC) Download the test server client | Preliminary patch notes | Report a bug! What is a Test Server This is a separate game server to which your account is copied. A major update is already available on this server, and every Enlisted player on PC can participate in testing it before the official release. To get on the server, you need to download a special client and install it separately…

No.

[ErikaKalkbrenner]

that’s nice.

and all. ( which i truly mean it )

but… i’m not seeing any mentions of improved matchmaker br rules.

we know that the chinese client have br queues 0± opposed to the world wide client which only has 1-2-3 and 3-4-5

can’t we have at least 1-2, 2-3, 3-4 and 4-5 queues?

[Astulian]

I was wondering why my APC crew were built different.

Time to stock on Japanese giants, maybe? Or will they shrink down post update?

[James_Grove]

@Astulian

Or will they shrink down post update?

You can check it on dev and compare to actual on production server.

[Astulian]

@James_Grove

You can check it on dev

Will do!

[ErikaKalkbrenner]

you mean, the callisto?

is it up yet?

[Euthymia07]

yes

[Adamnpee]

Test server is on?

[James_Grove]

Yes

[Veekay45]

Why not?

[ErikaKalkbrenner]

because they don’t have any other map beside berlin for latter tiers.

[Veekay45]

That’s why I said swap with Moscow, i.e. Soviet winter 44-45 with IS-2 and Tigers.

[James_Grove]

Moscow is more open then Stalingrade maps, it’s easily seen in battles.
So Moscow for high br is not good, while Stalingrad maps are good/okay.

[lCebsl]

I still believe that Urban combat is enlisteds greatest settling/strength

It perfectly reigns in how stupid vehicles can be whilst also being unique for infantry battles, absolute crime we only have two primarily urban mapsets
