Testing the "Hidden Threat" update

[Spiderkingthe10-live]

True, but people from.both the forums and discord wants it gone! Or reworked to have a debuff. Or only available to the assault engineers

[BaronBrahman-live]

Could you make this more specific, like gives us the exact percentage:

Also do helmets show their hidden damage protection?

[传说巨神伊迪安]

Wait, why hasn’t the Cromwell been changed at all? It’s still stuck with a 57mm gun and placed at BR3! The 34-57 is at BR3 because it has a BR3-level hull. What’s so good about the Cromwell? It’s just a boxy, square thing—just like the Panzer IV.

[Euthymia07-live]

Cromwell has APCBC now, no real reason to downtier it

[BaronBrahman-live]

Can the Devs do one of these again where they announce their adding some weapons that are in the editor?

Change in the content of the upcoming update

[image] Commanders, based on your feedback from the Test Server and our previous announcement, we’re replacing the PPSh-41 (S) in the upcoming “Forest Shadows” update with the much-requested 20-round variant of the AVT-40. This new BR V weapon will be in the research tree at the end of the rifle line! You are already familiar with the AVT-40 as it’s commonly used in high BR - but this variant combined with the AVS 36’s fire rate changes will bring a fresh twist to battles. The 15-round variant…

Honestly lots of good changes here, would be nice…

Continuing the discussion from Preliminary patch notes for the “Hidden Threat” update:

@MajorMcDonalds

• Reduced the spread of the following weapons: AT-44, AS-44 Model 4, AS-44 Model 5, Hyde M1944, Gewehr 43 (8mm Kurz), StG 44, Sniper StG 44, Horn StG, StG 45 (M), MKb 42(H), Sniper MKb 42(H), MKb 42(W), MKb 42(M), VG 1-5, MP 43/1, MKb 35/III, Type 2a (6.5mm).
• Reduced the recoil control from 75% to 50% of the following weapons and their variants: AVS-36, AKT-40, AVT-40, Fedorov Avtomat, Fedorov rifle (25), T20E1 rifle, T20 Rifle, FG 42, FG 42 II, Krieghoff FG, Type Hei Automatic rifle, Breda PG (CR).

Honestly FINALLY good battle rifle nerfs. Let there be good space for assault rifles, since these hyper optimized full power spam has been meta for over a year+

[ArszXLVI]

So that means it will be available before the Tokyo Arsenal and the Type 2 (50 rounds) in the research tree?

[IceySmooth]

Whatever

Items now showing armor is great

PS New premium squads showing Secondary weapon in the squad loadout as primary.

Note Berdan and pistol for engineer, same for german squad

[MrBigD7_PL]

Nvidia dlss 4.5, FSR as of 2024 still 2.0. Radeon players also play this game.

[GasMasters-live]

To me, this was a major misstep with balancing it. Yes, the dispersion is a lot better now, but it still doesn’t change the downright awful TTK at BR5 compared to other rifles. Also, all the other high BR ARs got dispersion buffs as well including the STG, AS-44, both of which got even better dispersion values than the MKB, which just completely took away any meaning to buffing the MKB to being good enough for BR5. I’m quite disappointed with this.

@MajorMcDonalds

I used the base values since I don’t have any progress on my PC account btw, but all 3 guns have the same upgrades so all would have 15% less dispersion. For reference, current dispersion values for the previously mentioned guns are; 53 for the MKB, 46 for the STG, and 39 for the AS-44.

@MajorMcDonalds

Split the uniform of Japanese infantry into torso and legs on the Appearance screen.

Words cannot describe how long i have waited for this. Now all that remains is giving the standard japanese tan army uniform for purchase instead of locking it behind premium tanker squads

[Darenius1]

@GasMasters-live

It wouldnt be DF if for no reason the russian one wouldnt have for some wierd reason way better dispersion again as the axis counterpart…
fucking bias showing itself again…

[Shadow_the_Wolf]

I don’t see the options:

“fixed pathetic matchmaking”
“removed constant uptiering”
“added campaign selection”
“improved map rotation”

[wlnecro1]

This is literally the best patch notes we’ve had in over a year. Cry harder

[Astulian]

@warfare_master

@MajorMcDonalds

• Added additional overcoat customization options for German Volkssturm squads.

This sounds kinda nice

Nice Volks in Ardennes

Unholy Stalingrad Volkssturm

[BaronBrahman-live]

The competition for best patch notes hasn’t been that stiff in a while anyway

[warfare_master]

I hadn’t downloaded the server when I wrote that. I made a suggestion about something similar, but you already know that, you voted ‘no’?

[QA_meerosch]

@MrBigD7_PL

FSR as of 2024 still 2.0

FSR was updated too. Patchnote will be edited later

[wlnecro1]

Still. Reworking a br and all the graphics and customization changes and the squad slot stuff is very nice

And where is the fedorov MG?
It also functions just like a SF rifle with enhanced damage so it also should have its recoil control nerfed or otherwise recieve normal mg damage if it isnt supposed to be an SF rifle aswell…
