@Keofox

An asterisk now appears next to the soldier’s perk point if it’s the maximum value of the class.

Now THAT is a QoL update I can get behind

[ParaDivision]

@sounds: the current headshot sound appears more like a placeholder than a proper feature. i recommend to change it to a more realistic splash sound + the sound of helmet dropping on the ground.
the game already feature enviroment-integration for sounds (like magazines dropping), so that wont be an issue. to make it simply you play the helmet sound on every soldier, even if he doesnt have a helmet
(still much more realistic than the walmart cashier sound from the current headshots).

[VoyoMayPL]

Personally I think the “ha ha kopf schuss” etc. shout was/is better. (I haven’t heared it in a while, maybe I wasn’t paying attention)

this is how it looks in squad menu

And when receiving a soldier.

[Astulian]

Is there gonna be a limit on 1 assaulter, 2 flametrooper and 3 machine gunner squads? Or what is it?

[TheUnclaimedOne]

YES! THIS IS THAT SMALL DETAIL CRAP THAT PROVES THE DEVS CARE AND DON’T JUST WANT TO MAKE A QUICK BUCK!

I am genuinely more happy about this tiny detail than the irons

[lCebsl]

Mate you guys being sarcastic and snippy with people is always the best lmao

[TheUnclaimedOne]

Rest of us are here for it buddy. Go off on some people

Heya, this stuff is not fully functional and will be removed before release, but will be presented on dev server for now

[Astulian]

@James_Grove

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

Looks like my Japanese APC driver got shunk down a bit.
Ah well.

[Conscript_Joe]

@Keofox

The rate of fire of the Gewehr 1888 has been increased by 60%.

Most important change!

[James_Grove]

@Conscript_Joe

Most important change!

One of the best, yes с:

[Astulian]

Any way to add an option to have this perk summary open all the time?
When I change soldiers it goes away, I have to open it again every time. Maybe add a shortcut keybind?

Hmm… it’s sounds interesting tbh, will forward this one, thanks for feedback

@Keofox

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.

Man trying to read all this stuff and keep up with convo’s is hard while at work. Kinda wish this stuff would get posted like 7-10 hours later, but is what it is

This is some good news right now. Tired of steamrolling Normandy

[Waldkauz]

I don’t want to spam, but what about the Erma EMP 36 (BR3)? It is worse than the MP40 (BR2) but has a higher BR.

@Astulian

Or will they shrink down post update?

If you in test server
when crouched now, they wont be able to see over the sandbags now?
When a toon is crouched behind sandbag, he just right height to shoot over it,
so if Japan has shrunk, how will they see over the sandbag if crouched

[James_Grove]

@Waldkauz

but what about the Erma EMP 36 (BR3)?

We have some changes in mind at least to discuss with devs, but rn there is a lot of stuff to do before that.
