game is headed in an awful direction.

M2 carbine should only have 2 magazines to match FG42.
Great update 10/10.
I like most of it. But seems like you’ve way over-nerfed the artillery. Seems pointless using it at all now shrug

What you like
Artillery:
-
Only one artillery strike per team may now be active at any given time.
-
Artillery can no longer be activated during the first minute of the battle.
-
The preparation time for initial artillery ranging shots has been increased by 5 seconds.
-
Upgraded artillery now only gives a 4-fold reduction in the time between volleys (60 seconds instead of 48), rather than a 5-fold.
-
Historical viewing angles and scopes for all armored vehicles have been added.
What you don’t like
- Artillery ranging shots now do less damage. - not sure about this one. But historically, if shot at least close to the enemy, first shots did make most dmg as everyone was not hidden and in cover.
- The basic bomb armament of Bf 109 G-6 has been changed from 1x250 kg to 4x50 kg. – not sure about this one.
- Hs123 at Normandy Airfield …
Good changes altogether … probably

Can I ask what is wrong with this change?
Now the BF-109 G-6 is more Equal to the P-51C (still better tho)

Forgot to put “- not sure about this one.”
Am afraid no one will use it now, except Premium guys who have more places for planes. Same as 109 F1 in Moscow. ONE 250kg bomb is not OP, I would rather see P-51C buffed.
That’s how I’m thinking, share your thoughts.

Like hardcore mode without interface. Its already another lvl game.
Hello. We are preparing a nice improvement to the explosion cover mechanics. You will be able to better hide from bombs, changing the position of the body (to lie down) will reduce the chances of getting a shrapnel in the body.
We didn’t have time to prepare it for this update, but we’ll be finishing it soon.

And please do swap those Hs123. Such a great map design and everything should not be ruined by such things. I hope its not too much work.
This is the first update I’ve felt to sign up to the forums to react, as I’m not a big fan of engaging in the psycophant winge fest that usually follows a post.
But I gotta say the Tank zoom is abysmal. How the heck can I engage at close quarters with a zoom that large and the sway of the view is very unrealistic.
I would admit that the Artillery was a big OP but come on, having to wait until someone else in the team is not using it … are you serious? Just reduce the effect as you have done, but the way it is at the moment: what incentive would anyone have to upgrade a radio operator in this game for you to have to wait your turn in the piss queue?? So you’ve nerfed the radio operator’s squad use effectively.
just a fyi
I’m a great fan of this game and this is the only F2P game that I’ve actually paid money out on (purchasing the pass), but I’m hestitant now because these changes seem to come as a result of the whinning and crying of sucky players. Please do NOT go down this route and take into account that a large percentage of people who are happy with the game don’t go onto forums. Before this update I was content to renew monthly passes, now I will wait to see how this game settles down before shelling out any more roubels

First off, great great update.
What you like
- The new mission is really cool. I always enjoyed the ver sur mer map but I did not like assault. It is really nice to invade it.
- By building a new rally point the old one will now be destroyed automatically. Perfect fix, was really needed.
- Arty nerfs, I am really happy to see that you are taking a different approach with the nerfs to arty. I think this will change a lot in the games. Really nice that only one arty can be up at any given time.
- The nerfs to bf 109 are really needed. Now the German fighters are on par with the US. Only attackers have an easy time destroying tanks, before it was attacker and fighter that could kill tanks without much skill.
- A lot of small fixed to a lot of different things, have not seen anything bad in there. Awesome.
What you don’t like
- Atm the tank scope is zoomed in to the maximum as a default. When you drive the tank your scope goes all over the place. When I use the manual zoom it gives me +/- 10% zoom more than I already have. It used to be +/- 50% zoom. Its hard to drive a tank and it feels not intended/bug.
- P38 fighter plane still counts as an attacker plane resulting in the US not being able to spawn their actual effective attacker planes (A20/P47) If that gets fixed I feel the air war is 100% balanced together with the bf109 nerf.
I hope they will once implement that you can really look trough commanders hatch and actually shoot. Same as you have when you pop out of the hatch. Would solve the problem of too much zoom from gunners view.
*What I like:
- new Invasion map is always welcome
- historical sights for tanks
*What I don’t like:
- so now artillery went from something considered OP to a complete joke. Some changes were needed, but what happend here is a total overkill with literally all nerf suggestions that ever showed up on this forum. There is no point in bringing artillery squad after finishing uprages, again.
- FG42 and M2 are still available for every damn trooper. Nerfing FG42 ammunition count doesn’t fix the problem devs. Whole WH running around with literal machineguns, that were given only to paratroopers is absurd. Same for time traveling M2, that was bringed probably to “ensure balance” - but there would be no need to ensure that if you would just limit FG42 to gunner class at least - BAR would be a perfect counterpart.
*What I don’t understand:
- ghost nerfing exp gain just to have possibility to say “we are increasing it” in the patchnotes seems shady to me, but at least we will progress a little bit faster

One important element is missing from the update notes, rendering tanks nearly useless in many situations:
Why on earth was there a high zoom enabled for the gunners sight by default?
This is like running around as sniper while always looking into your scope, making you completely unaware of what is going on around you.

why do you want to limit guns for? just leave them alone the devs stated its for balance that there not changing it so why keep complaining about it its not a big deal
