Second testing of the "Scorching Rays" update

Only what we have seen?

Oh they are

The japs are currently crying over the fact that the devs keep giving the Germans/allies paratroopers

Oh boy, another layer of irony here.

“Please give the Scotti Naval Rifle increased magazine capacity” - 111th ask.

“Heard, we’re increasing the magazine capacity of the event Paratrooper STG. We’re listening to your feedback.”


I heard tell that there’s going to be a paratrooper event with squads for Germany and the US.

I have no source of this, just speculation from others.

still no new counters

@MajorMcDonalds why not adding shotgun kill counter? make a difference between standard rifles and semi-auto rifles, AT-guns

I looked around the test server and saw nothing that would need testing.

There were small changes like making new Churchill Mk.VII available to tech tree tank squad II as well, so its available to British tank crews as well.
These changes are welcome, but we already know since Euthymia passed the info back to us.
This is just an obvious way of wasting time before the major update for no good reason.

This isnt even a real major update since both Axis and Soviet Union is getting nothing in the tech tree.

Event, art leaked several weeks ago. I believe it’s going be US para squad and some random German squad. Maybe only weapon for Germany without squad.

Does it?

You don’t base the br of something that is in the wrong br to start…

The Me in br5… there’s a reason nobody uses it… :thinking:

No white pants? Or is the test server outdated?

Also this awesome torso is still only available in bulge and stalingrad

I’ve seen some videos of that Tommy. The reload time is almost the same, and the recoil is awful. Wouldn’t it be better to reload him really fast and send him to BR3 with the recoil buff? I don’t think the Americans need another paratrooper in BR2.

If i had to guess these will not be new squads. Just standalone weapons

thats just the tip of the iceberg, KI-38 is a superb aircraft with these stats:

meanwhile these are the stats of every tech tree BR5 fighter-bomber

Could be Br3 depending on stats. Its obv for the semi leaked para event coming up for Market Garden

Perosnally Ki83 is a Br4/5 stat wise

Im against adding crazy bomb loads where non were carried -think a side grade could be adding a napalm (fuel) tank. Makes for a highly capable fighter bomber

Its the last event spitfire LF thats completely undertiered for its BR

Yes, these leaks are from September 5th.

honestly, thats a BR4 aircraft, it just needs a proper 500 lb bomb, but forsome reason our current devs either give zero f about balance or dont understand it at all. Im not sure which scenario is more concerning.

eh.
it will become overshadowed just like the XA-38.

both aren’t widely used either way.

To their credit, most weapon balancing is ok, same for vehicles

Planes are in some absurd place where for comparison they will put a Tiger tank in BR2 with AP only and call it fine :slightly_smiling_face: :unamused:
