Testing the "Forest Shadows" update

[IceySmooth]

yes, test server keeps its own presets

[Debayan001]

Thanks for the heads up. The more you know I guess.

@ForlorN

I wish you could search for guns in the squads too. That’s the biggest problem for most ppl, finding guns they forgot where they put.

That would be amazing, cause how the hell to remember which dude got that GO Weapon I played with 6 months ago

[EVA_Evo]

@Zepuoj

This is not a Arcade game whatever some of you think.

But it is an arcade game. lol

@Alex ツ

Please consider reverting the AVS-36 nerf. Increasing the RPM on a low magazine weapon causes it to burn through ammo too quickly, reducing its effectiveness.

@Alex ツ

Ive never seen a single USSR main ask for that. If you are so sure, go ahead and show me where they said it.

Your annoying Soviet mains literally asked for it yesterday by complaining about “op FG42 with 990rpm”

Now you have nine of AVS guys with 880 rpm Are you happy now Soviet mains? Or do we need to increase it to 1000rpm? @Декард How about we make special version for you with 2500 rpm. As more = better.

[CRO_SkyGuard]

@RanDagon

Increased the base rate of fire of the AVS 36 from 600 to 800 rounds per minute.

While we are at the AVS-36 it still ejects casings straight back through the receiver, it should instead eject them upwards.

(big old barrel of brass in your face, lol)

@SzepWaxweiler

Is M1(S) supposed to have this much smoke coming from it ?

That is just all weapons on the test server. Not just this one.

@Valkay

Italians did serve in SS and Fallschirmjager units, so I might cosplay those

I have bad news for you Valky
the Italian SS legion kept the Italian uniforms even though under German service

and for the Fallschirmjage it was a very short period between September 8th and the formation of the RSI on September 23rd
and even after that they continued to use Italian uniforms

all the photos of the mix of Italian and German is always the same paratrooper Rinaldo Massi during that brief moment

@Valkay

But they still wear German uniforms outside of Tunisia

so nothing has changed…what the hell is the point of wasting time and resources to add the change of nationality if the main problem has not been solved

[Darenius1]

@Euthymia07-live

@RanDagon

Changed the BR of the Lanciafiamme Mod.41 d’assalto from III to II.

What does this even mean?
The flamethrower isnt part of the squad so its BR is irrelevent isnt it?

[Ma_theos33]

@Debayan001

custom AI faces

What do you mean? What is a custom AI face?

[Dregomz]

@RanDagon

• StG 44 (S) (Germany BR V, Premium)

And no added ability of all guerillas to carry ARs. Ultra lame

@RanDagon

• Changed the BR of the Bren Mk I 100 from V to IV.

Just that and that’s it?

Downtier of:

• M28/21 to BR3
• STG45 to BR3
• Mkb42/Horn Stg to BR3
• VMP to BR2
• Stug 3 F to BR2
• Gewehr 43 to BR3
• Johnson MG to BR3
• M1919A6 to BR4
• 20 round Tommies to BR1
• Jagdpanther to BR4

Buff of:

• MAS-38 (better dmg and recoil)
• FNAB-43 (real rof)
• Charlton (all stats are dreadful need massive buff)
• Gewehr 41/Pavesi SVT (faster reload)
• Mp35/l (more dmg, faster rof, better recoil/dispersion)
• MP38/40/Berettas (need better dispersion and dmg)
• Winchester 1887 (just unplayable with it’s very low dmg and long reload low rof)
• Tommy M1928 USMR → 20 rounds → 30 rounds (nerf reload to 2.1sec)
• Besal (awful recoil)
• W.A.R/wz1928/Fn Model 1930 (bad recoil and visual recoil)
• Colt Monitor (need ability to let it carry spare BAR but without using it’s ammo)
• kfz 251/9 (needs better engine, traction and add HEAT rounds instead of useless APCBC)
• me262 (can’t pull up fix it already)
• fw 190 (old bug is back it moves all over the screen while flying)
• 75/32 (give it a couple of weaker heat rounds)
• M24/Crusader/M3/Mk1 (give it APCBC rounds)

[Dregomz]

@RanDagon

• Replaced the T-28’s Shrapnel shells with APHEBC.
• Replaced the Pz.IV F1 and Pz.IV E’s HE shells with HEAT.

Don’t replace HE, replace garbage APCBC with Heat

Soviets got even stronger, while Germany got screwed by still having APCBC rounds.

@RanDagon

• Replaced the Hurricane Mk IIB’s (USSR) ROS-82 rockets with RBS-82 rockets.

Another massive Soviet buff as it has 50mm of pen and with a BR1 plane ffs! Remember IAR aka only good German plane? It got uptiered to BR2, you should do the same for that Hurricane now.

While Germany has zero rocket spamming planes at BR1-3. And also no good bombers with 6x 100kg bombs like Soviets.

[EVA_Evo]

@Dregomz

• M28/21 to BR3
• STG45 to BR3
• Mkb42/Horn Stg to BR3
• VMP to BR2
• Stug 3 F to BR2
• Gewehr 43 to BR3
• Johnson MG to BR3
• M1919A6 to BR4
• 20 round Tommies to BR1
• Jagdpanther to BR4

I’ve never seen a more insane list of weapons to be downtiered like this
You are INSANE for thinking any of these should be downtiered

[RobertS42]

The Beretta 1918 has it's bayonet folded out on the test server, but still uses the default melee and has no charge

I was looking through new things on the test server and I noticed the model for the Beretta 1918 was changed to flip out it’s bayonet which has been folded, but it lacks a new melee or charge despite this. The Beretta 1918/30, an old gold order weapon from years ago has the same bayonet, and it has both a melee and charge using the bayonet. I suggest copying the melee and charge animations from the Beretta 1918/30 and giving them to the Beretta 1918. [Screenshot 2025-06-19 142055]

Someone noticed this, I think this should be rectified by the time the update drops

(Also it should be semi-auto and classified as a PCC)

[SmallebigE-live]

Question when the Update come will the Wald map be available for all brs?

[romario_aguila-psn]

Continuing the discussion from Preliminary patch notes for the "Forest Shadows" update:

@RanDagon

Increased the base rate of fire of the AVS 36 from 600 to 800 rounds per minute.

First nerf in a while to the Soviets ooooooo

[Adamnpee]

@EVA_Evo

You are INSANE

It’s not his fault. That’s what happens when you play one game way too often for way too long.

I tried to warn him. 🤷‍♂

[_The_Eagle]

My suggestions for the test server (The following translation may not be very accurate)
The protection during the dive of Hurricane Mk IIB’s (USSR) needs to be removed, and the test suit will also automatically lift the nose during the dive.
2. It is necessary to allow the M1 Thompson (S) Squad* to replace melee weapons or increase the bonus of sprint speed for unique melee weapons.
3. The experience penalty for customizing game exits needs to be removed.

[Debayan001]

The ones which you can purchase for appearance orders or gold in-game.
Example:
Soviet (Default face)

Soviet (Custom face)

[Декард]

yes, you are right, it’s the nerf. Because 15 rounds. just take 900 rate of fire and 15 rounds in magazine and you will understand why it’s goddamn reload simulator

I already have an AKT Squad with 10 rounds automatic rifles and it’s completely unreliable

That’s why we definitely need AVS for 20 rounds

Yes, it exists.
