Better fix charge bug. It affect my soldiers every single match so don’t lie to me that you can’t replicate it.

I’ve heard rumours from several forum members, but do you have any actual proof?
I do not watch the staff movement when it comes to this game but from what dregomz said in the past in the screenshot the rumors might be true but one thing I do know I’ve seen a decline in the quality of the game.

That definitely is fact. I trust Dregomz, being a closed beta tester (since he would’ve dealt with the developers directly) and having 12.7k likes. I’m pretty sure Comrade Sina had a snip from the Russian forum, but again it’s just rumours.

Actually, they’ve already come out, for example you can use Japanese soldiers to duel with Soviet silenced snipers in Burma or Rzhev in the Metal Storm event, or in the all-map melee later, so they don’t have to make new maps, haha

Yes this is especially true of the Skdz251/9, on Normandy and Rhez it can’t even get over a mound or hill, which has a raid on there… Big Action dev fixed all of these, he said it was traction related if that helps, he changed a simple value.
The Khalkhin Gol river was the border between Manchu-kuo and Mongolia, so technically this whole region is “Manchuria”.
However, BR 1-3 battles will have little if not nothing to do with the actual “Battle of Khalkhin Gol”:
Things like T-34, KV-1, PPSh-41, PPS-42/43, IL-2, T-50, A6M Zero, Ho-I didn’t exist in 1939, not to mention more fictional items like Uragan or Fedorov 1912 which were also obviously not used there.
The most modern things seen during the real battle of Khalkhin Gol were BT-5/7, T-26, BA-10, I-16, I-153 alongside Ha-Go, Chi-Ha, Ki-27.
Similarly, BR 3-5 battles will have nothing to do with the actual “Manchurian Strategic Offensive”:
Ho-Ri, AutoHei and Tokyo Arsenal fighting against AS, AF, RPD and Su-9 is anything but “Manchurian offensive”.
The real fighting in 1945 saw a Soviet mix of early T-34-76, BT and T-26 tanks still stationed there alongside the newly arrived T-34-85, SU, ISU and Sherman tanks against the poor Japanese souls still in Ha-Go and Chi-Ha.
With that in mind, neither “Khalkhin Gol” nor “Manchurian offensive” will have anything to do with real battles in the slightest, beyond a couple possible scenarios:
- BR1-only “Khalkhin Gol”:
More or less believable combat between BT-5/7 + T-26 vs Ha-Go and Chi-Ha.
- BR 2-3 “1945 Manchurian offensive”:
Very slightly believable combat between PPSh/PPS + T-34-76 vs Type 100 late + Ho-I/Zero.

Sir, your post is awesome, except this part.
This looks bad if it is per-map voting. That is totally missing the point of the preferred maps system for me.
My problem: how will I tell the system in 3-5 clicks
- that today I’m in the mood to play Tunisia, Moscow or Japanese/Burma maps but nothing else?
- and that tomorrow I wish to skip Moscow maps but play anything else because yesterday it was too much?
- or that after this neverending and boring match I’m fed up with the confrontation mode for a while so let’s skip that for two days…
So the like/dislike will not solve the issues the merge caused and may be harmful - it may end up in dislikes to certain maps even in the case when the map was perfect just the match was bad/painful. (Instead of a singular dislike if I could tell whether it was a problem with the map, the game mode, the game engine e.g. network disconnections or the team/certain players why I disliked the match or perhaps because of RNG repetition, it would be actually useful for you at least.)
It may help to bring back e.g. Kamenka River which is not part of the map cycle any more (at least I did not see it recently) - but even that will work only if I can vote on all maps, not just the current. And if all maps are listed with modes intermixed and without text/region filters, it will be a bad experience to find the maps to vote. (Can you perhaps improve the custom match map selection so it becomes easy to set up an Avantgarde - Kamenka - etc map cycle easily without a huge amount of scrolling?)
For me a preferred maps system would be on the main screen, listing
- War theaters: Moscow - Stalingrad - Tunisia - Japan - Normandy - Berlin
- Game modes: invasion, conquest, confrontation …
And preference tick box next to each: preferred - neutral - not preferred
This way I could change my mind simply.
Plus a “detailed map selection” button to open a new screen where I can set my likes/bans per map+game mode, which could override the front page “global” settings.
(If this like/dislike will be a per-map thing after the matches, please don’t force us to vote - let us leave them unvoted as well as this is really not what I wish for map voting/vetoing, because I fear it will mix up the match and the mode.)
For the rest: thank you for putting this together. I like these reports about plans much more than reading about banning modders (can you perhaps ask to reduce Bazsi’s penalty by 50% to 500 years?) My only concern is that it is only planned features…

Stalingrad should be removed from high BR and be given subterranean passages or pipe passages like those in COD2

We should get Leningrad and new rural maps based around Soviet counter attack on Axis captured soil around 1944-45

If you say
Then can you please comment clearly in this context:
That despite any “likes/dislikes” or “bans”,
T-28 will not be storming Berlin and King Tiger will not magically appear in Tunisia?

Yes bigger maps whould be cool i suggest to have with “no” greyzone because the map it self is huge. Just playing on the whole map with more objective and there more missions. I hope the “new frontline” is this
