Can we get a SOON? Or … anywell good to see it is still planned.
Exactly that.
This series of updates was overall great. But even more FGs and that MkB are really dissapointing.

- Reduced the accuracy of the first shot of small arms. The maximum bullet deflection angle has been increased, so that the differences in accuracy of weapons can be felt at real battle distances in the game.
Blockquote
After playing a bit, the accuracy of bolt action rifles has been hit quite a bit. You regularly miss at distances between 50 and 100 meters.
Basically, an element of rng has been added which makes the game annoying to play, and lets luck decide the outcome of an engagement, rather than skill.
Furthermore, it punishes low level players who are regularly armed with bolt action rifles against high level players which are almost always armed with semi-auto rifles which are fully upgraded, and suffer less from this rng nonsense dispersion, and even if first round misses, the follow up with a second round is very fast, unlike a bolt action which needs to reload.
Bolt action rifles are easily accurate between 100-200 meters. They should have been excluded from artificial dispersion nerfs. And, in fact, semi-auto rifles should suffer from dispersion.
Making weapons artificially inaccurate (especially when this information is not readily available ingame) will only frustrate new players because they would not understand what they did wrong which caused them to miss, and they would perceive this as lag, or ghost rounds.
It is also frustrating for experienced players. You aim well, and you miss anyway, and you just cannot tell where the round went, because artificial rng nonsense. Probably, so you can grind more, or spend more money to upgrade your weapons to reduce this effect.
There is also no clearly visible feedback to see where the round fell (kicking up dust, or tracer).
A change that would have made sense is bullet drop. I really do not understand why this sort of rng mechanic, especially for naturally accurate weapons (like bolt action rifles) is considered a good thing and it was added to the game.
Some dispersion at long ranges makes sense. But at medium distances 50,100, and even 200 meters is just extremely annoying and it makes no sense.

What I like:
• Progression unlocked for all players in Tunisia
• New maps
• Weapon transfer between campaigns
• Xp bonus in Tunisia
• Daily rewards
What I dislike:
• T-28 still cannot fire separately from different machine guns
• M1903 Springfild is starting weapon for Normandy and Tunisia, but I can’t transfer it.(I have some 3 star rifles for my British beggars). Same with Kar98k for Axis.
• Engineers at 9th company level
• Reduced the accuracy
I think it’s necessary for balancing at least Normandie. Before this update Normandie Axis gameplay is a constant suffering from Jumbo spawn and P-47 spawn while it gives americans fuckin 250 tickets for every capture, which is extremly hard to win. see here: Normandy, it's easier to attack

Well, the easier solution would have been replacing Jumbo with E8, and FW-190 with ME 410 B1 (4x20mm and 4 wfr gr 21 rockets or 2x 500kg bombs). Piling on more and more ahistorical weapons and setups does not fix the original issue, it only compounds it further. It is a real shame.
And fg42 or stg do not balance out the Jumbo and p47, in my opinion. It just leads to a situation where any other tank, plane or weapon is never being used. Why use the historical kar98 and mp 40 when you can use battle of the bulge weapons such as stg, or paratroop exclusive weapons (fg42) which were only used by the 2nd parachute division during battles around Carentan and Falaise. The division was badly mauled there, and few of the paratroopers and the 2000 weapons delivered made it out of Normandy.
Just played Moscow. The map was covered in fog and I was getting killed bi AI i Couldn’t even see, then played Tunisia fog again. Please tell me this is a bug.

I really dislike the decrease in bullet accuracy/ increase in bullet deflection angle. The bolt actions and semi autos feel very weak now. It is especially a problem in Normandy. I was missing shots ~100m with a kar98. It’s frustrating to see the bullets curve away.
This just makes automatic weapons even stronger since you can miss your shot with a bolt action rifle due to random bullet deviation.

They had almost 12,000 of htem - you think weapons didn’t get exported or something??
Feedback so far…
What I like:
New tanks, Moscow, Tunisia bought m13 as it’s different, I think.
New Omer map, wow proper house to house fighting superb gj DF!
New XP bonuses
New individual command orders, although it does seem to get stuck.
Fixed the axis mg tank alignment thank you
What I don’t like:
Why is SBD3 in Tunisia, history buffs confirm or deny it was used please.
Engineer specific AA and mg placements for each country
The announcer is German even if I chose native on most campaigns now?
Forgot to mention:
Tail gunners for planes anytime soon?
That will do for now, gotta get back to the front!

It was used by the USN there - off Ranger and 2 escort carriers
There’s plenty of other stuff that is silly - mix and match nationalities, BAR graphic for Bren gun in campaign screen - FFS - don’t we know what a Bren gun looks like already?
-bad premiums
-bad tanks in Normandy still
-Daimler should be 1st tank in Tunisia, and Crusader II should replace A13 and be 2nd - really poor history
-so many other things that people have listed
As far as history goes the game is a joke - good fun as a silly arcade run and gun - not a wargame at all.
Edit:
I also really really dislike the accuracy nerf. It’s something literally nobody asked for, it’s completely unwanted. It greatly harms bolt action play and favour spray and pray behavior, with ppl realizing carefully aiming won’t work as well anyway.
Just… why?
You guys want the game to become a smg fest only?
I was fine with smgs being king in SOME theaters (Berlin) But it now affects my beloved Moscow theater aswell… I’d better just grab a ppsh and idiot charge around now…

No - it was an American plane.
And it was used in Operation Torch from US carriers - photo of deck of USS Ranger at torch from wiki - SBD’s on the right:

One thing I do like is the new high level planes in Moscow - the Il-10 and the 190D - to me this is a GOOD example of “balanced but different”
The Il-10 has a big bombload - 2 x 250kg is the biggest of any Soviet plane in the 2 campaigns - and powerful guns, but is an attacker so not so maneuverable. But if you do get in front of it you are toast 
The 190D is a fighter, but with a useful bombload - 1 x 250kg is good, but not as good as the attackers - good guns for air/air, and maneuverable.
So 2 different roles and characteristics, but equally valuable. At least on paper … unless they’re effed-up like so much else in the game

190D also gets 4x 50kg bombs
What i like.
more maps, toys to unlock …
What i dont like:
bot management its kinda Meh…
Bots keep runing around even when ordered to stay still on the fking corner…
50 euros for a panzer 4 exacly like the starter tank in berlin for example. overall the how expensive premium squads are right now…
squads with 9 soldiers with a full auto.
What i Hate:
Mkb42H in moscow . both the fact that the weapon is in the moscow campaign, and the fact that is considered a sniper
What almost gave me a stoke:
MP43/1 with the description of “SMG”
What made my heart skip a beat:
No STG 44 in berlin. and yet, another FG 42 variant…
What makes me trully sad:
Overpriced Premium squads are still worthless. there must be an option to have the exact same composition as non premium squads!
WHAT ITS TRULY WRONG:
months waiting for new levels on the campaigns… i was expecting more…
but hey… we got tunisia…

people complain about fg42 and the option for every type of soldier to play with it.
devs give us the fg42-II.
why…

There are few positives for me in this release, and many negatives.
- British No 4 rifle can’t transfer because Tunisia uses baynet, Normandy doesn’t - what nonsense
- Valentine Mk 1 was never used by Soviets - initial deliveries were Mk II
- SBD should be in a naval squadron, not a USAAF one that didn’t exist
- Whole squad of AVT 40 is an awful moneygrab that will sucker many new players into thinking they are getting a leg-up - it is a con.
- Panther vs M10 in Normandy is rubbish - worse than the Jumbo vs Mk IV
- New Premiums in general are no improvement on previous bad squad design and bad value
Those are the ones I’m annoyed enough to remember

The new BP XP booster may be wasted if game crashed even after you rejoined the match!
This is my 3rd match after I bought elite BP, and in this match, I crashed at the beginning of the match, even after I rejoined the match. The booster is gone!
Please make sure the booster works only when I player ended a match normally!
