would it be really so difficult to add something people actually wanted like IS-100 or T-44-100?

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.

That is what the USSR mains wanted…

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

in my opinion, this update feels a bit of a mixed bag.
and here are my feedbacks.
overall, it’s a solid 7.5 out of 10.
it is very good in some areas, but bad in others.
so let’s begin in what i tried and tested at first glance.
The Good
-
Added ability to change the nationality of soldiers
-
Added the ability to change the scale, rotation and condition of camouflages.
-
Added an “Incognito” option to the Contacts menu. Now you can hide your online status from your friends and avoid receiving pop-up notifications.
-
Added a “Group is recruiting” option above the START button. This feature allows random players to join your group.
-
new missions, even though are just extensions, and not actual maps, it’s both good looking, and plays fine. ( minor few details like the road suddenly stop for no reason )
-
all new additions ( except the ppsh41 ( S )
no complaints from me -
Added the ability to keep the unique decals when changing camouflage on certain BP and premium vehicles.
at last :=
( took me a bit to understand how it worked: )
but at last our glorious custom made GO vehicles are back
- You can now keep aiming between shots with a number of weapons and their variants: Nagant 1895, Winchester M1895, Lee-Enfield No.4 MkI, Ross Mk. III rifle, Ithaca 37, Winchester Model 1912, Winchester 1887, Mannlicher M1895, SMLE Mk III.
really love this one.
- Increased the damage area of drop tanks.
- Reduced the time it takes to burn from full health: from 7-8 seconds to 4.5 seconds (without using medkit or extinguishing the fire).
-
squads with heros will now have an icon next to the squad’s icon
-
new editor update
still trying to figure what this is about, but genually healed my heart and gave a little bit of hope.
and last but not least,
-
pre order cosmetics
even though i personally did not bought them for few reasons, i would like to shout out the people behind the cosmetic modelers. they nailed it once again. -
some squads received a new hat with googles
-
fixed german event squad with correct tabs ( opposed as old HEER tabs )
-
new lightnings / shaders
feels more realistic, and less saturated than it used to. -
reworked texture model of zeltbahns
The Bad
- soldiers announcing a squad mate is dead
so, the idea is awesome. so i’m not complaining about that.
but the execution.
the problems are:
- quality of the voice lines themselves. they sound from a different guy that is not recognizable from the squad for all but the soviet and japanese faction.
- sometimes they say an ally got hit, when in reality, he is actually dead.
- because of the previous points, imo voice lines should state clearly when someone got killed rather than hit. ( considering we already have voice lines for when soldiers are downed and call out when they got hit )
- none of the voice lines play for other player squads
also, imo, for immersion and realism sake, you should hear to the very least, the enemy soldiers calling out one of their own being killed when in proximity. i can understand not give one to the allies in order to avoid confusion. but at least should be hearable to the enemies.
- the ppsh41 ( s )
every other nation has to grind previous event squads, spend tons of silvers through boxes or outright buy premium squads to get silenced weapons when ussr for some reason, can get them straight up in the tech tree.
it’s like the stug III G & jagdpanzer situation.
somehow the massed produced Stug III is behind premium yet the less available and overall made jagdpanzer were less present, yet available for everyone in the TT.
sure, the argument for japan being mostly proto can somewhat hold due to balance reasons.
but i cannot for the life out of me see reason behind the ppsh 41.
redundant, and should not have been made available for the masses.
-
the stg 44 (S) premium squad
sorry, but it’s blatantly pay to win considering it’s the only partizan squads with ARs at br V.
while no other nations can get ARs on partisans ( nor should they ) and side nodes ( albe it smaller, the unit themselves don’t make much sense. werwulfs? with pea dot camouflages or stgs? as much i understand enlisted is not historicall accurrate, it’s baffling how some of the PR department can justify it while refusing to changes other stuff when presenting concrete historical accurate evidences ) -
norwegian squad speaking english ( UK pre order silenced thompson )
this one, is bad because it was advertised as a commando squad, yet they get to use a norwegian hat while speeking enligsh. so… the issue lies within them speaking english despite being norwegian, or worse, mislabeled and kinda misadvertised. ) -
Added a mission rating system.
the mission system it self is rather half baked for how it was worded and what it tries to do.
and similarly, -
penalties
i am in favor of penalties. but only -20% is rather nothing. and consequentially, it doesn’t really change much. imo, should have limited players squads usage for 2 to 5 minutes if repeatedly left matches.
in order to combat desertion, “drastic” measures are needed.
The Ugly
-
pre order picture from premium being changed with no explanation
-
Reduced the Gold price of customization pieces:
Head: 60 → 30
Torso (with pants): 360 → 180
Torso (with attachments): 240 → 120
Torso (basic): 180 → 90
Hands: 60 → 30
Legs: 60 → 30
Headgear: 60 → 30, 90 → 45, 120 → 60 -
Added a new item to the shop: 100 appearance change orders for the price of 30 (for 450 Gold).
these above right here, are an absolute insult.
you dare to milk more money out of expensive cosmetics that are for an atrocious system where you have to buy the same bloody thing multiple times for entire squads or even the same soldier.
and instead of reduce their price to a single card or at max 4, you instead reduce gold prices that no one asked for.
nor what you advertised originally either.
which, prices were fine if the equipment would have been universal to apply on more or just the squad.
now instead, it costs roughly the same and you have to buy the same item for no reason ( we all damn know the reason ) across several presets for just a single squad over an entire army or presets.
an item that may also be present but because of this irredeamable system, users have to buy it more than once on the same soldier.
or like faces, the most egregious case, soldiers have to go on a facial reconstruction across several campaign.
fix the customization once and for all already.
it’s tiring having to go through the same thing with half baked solutions that keeps being presented to our eyes.
it’s insulting to both the community, and the talented people that makes these 3d models.
-
10th infantry brigade still uses USA cosmetics instead of british ones over the battle of the bulge preset
-
plane tree camouflage is still bugged after 8 months and more than +10 threads.
how it used to look like:
vs how it looks now:
it’s not even funny at this point
how many more bug reportes are needed to fix this frickin camouflage?
will add more if i missed any, and edit if needed.

I suggest increasing the reloading speed of AVT and AVS to within 2 seconds, which to compensate for their smaller magazine capacity compared to rifles in other countries.

I bet people will tell you this is actually a nerf to the gun - but hey, you can still use AVT which has the same RPM.
Just look at any of the germany rant posts and you are bound to stumble over it.
Alternatively just read the comments of the better place Nr 69.

Or nerf T20 and FG42 reload speed instead - actually interesting thoughts here, reload speed adjustments haven’t crossed my mind yet, despite them being a very important stat for guns.
