Welcome to the Community Creators blog! Every week we will scroll through YouTube, our Discord media page and our Community Hub on Steam to find your best creations!

Unfortunately we had to dealy this blogpost due to the new build, Pentecost and a lot of other blogposts. But now it's finally here! Community creations number 34!

Last year we have launched our brand new Content Creator Program. With this program we hope to show Heroes & Generals to the world with the help of our Creators. While at the same time help them to grow their channels and attract bigger audiences. Every week we start off the Community Creations blog by showing some of their footage. Do you think you have what it takes to join the content creator program? Take a look at the requirements and sign up!

Soviet forces moving up, no support, no help. But that did not stop these brave American soldiers, giving their lives to slow down the enemy forces! Thank you Whisherz for sharing this image on our discord server.

After the push through the mountains, the Soviets have arrived at the town occupied by German troops. Will Claus and his fellow men be able to stop them? Thank you Infestica for sharing this image on discord.



Last up we have an epic image from Muqq on steam. I'm not entirely sure what is going on in this image, but it looks hot as hell!

RETO MOTO

Update 1.22.2 – Vehicle Rebalance brings significant improvements to vehicles, new vehicle paint jobs, reworked rocks for hills and forests, new shooting positions for co-gunners taking cover and much more!
Based on community feedback we have worked on the vehicle balance, mainly tanks.

We have given each tank their advantages and disadvantages by making lower tier tanks more interesting to use. Lower tier tanks now tend to be stronger against infantry, while higher tier tanks tend to be better against other tanks.

Furthermore we have massively increased the damage of AP shells, they now do more armor damage than APCR shells, however without the penetration advantage that APCR shells bring.

In order to make tank combat more fun for everyone, we have increased the damage output in/for tank versus tank combat.
Thick armor stays thick just a little bit longer! Your armor now takes longer to break down.

To take on the tanks with the most armor, flanking is key and for flanking, speed is key! We have tweaked the speed of many tanks and most of them received a speed boost (especially off-road).

We have also tweaked the HE-shells, cone-fire, tank models, turret turning speeds and many other aspects of our tanks!

All the improvements we want to make could not make it to this update. ore changes will follow to improve the tank gameplay even further and we are always looking to your feedback to improve!

A big thanks to everyone who made suggestions and who helped test the changes on our prototype server!

In order for all tanks to have the same amount of paint jobs we have added quite a few!

Single-Color Paint Jobs
(Here's a few images showcasing some of them, click to make large!)

• M10
  
• M36
  
• M4A3E8
  
• M20 recon car

Multi-color Paint Jobs
(Here's a few images showcasing some of them, click to make large!)

• M36
  
• M20

In order to address being too exposed as co-gunner in tanks and terrain vehicles you are now able to shoot away while taking cover!

We have moved Anti-Air guns to terrain vehicle category to prevent conflict with APCs. Additionally we raised the minimum depression angle but increased the deploy time.


We have taken a look at the rocks on hard to reach places, hills and forests.
Bigger rocks can now be used as cover and are more visible than the stealthy small rocks tankers used to get stuck on!


Enjoy!

The prototype test is now open! You can download the prototype server through https://prototype.heroesandgenerals.com/

This test was all about vehicle balancing, specifically about tank balance. Seeing the rebalancing proved such a massive undertaking, we have split it into two parts. In this part we are mostly focussing on the basic mechanics, in the next part we will fine-tune it more and give certain tanks more individuality. The second part does not have a release date just yet, but should follow in a few months. Further in the future we will also address planes as well as anti-tank weapons.

Due to the fact we are already quite close to release, we will have 2 test rounds, the first one will be from today till Friday. The second one will be over the weekend. On Friday we will make some tweaks based on your feedback and based on the feedback over the weekend we will make some more changes for release. We are limited to what we can change due to limited time, but everything we cannot fix right away will be taken into account in the second tank balancing update.

The main goals of the changes have been:
- Give lower tier tanks in the same category a better function, so all tanks have their strengths and weaknesses
- Increase overall damage, to speed up tank versus tank combat
- Increase the value of armor thickness, to make it more difficult for lighter cannons to penetrate thick armor
- Increase the chance of shells bouncing off of armor (partially done)
- Massively reduce the damage HE-shells do, and increase the explosion radius based on the cannon size
- A ton of other tweaks related to tank speeds, turret speeds etc.

Below you will find the changelog, please note that we cannot specify every change made as that list would simply be too long. But we will try to provide some more details

Changelog:

General tank changes:
- All APCR shells have received an increased damage of 7,5% or more
- All AP shells now do 20% more damage than APCR shells
- Both AP shells and APCR shells have received higher min. damage and lower max. damage so damage is more predictable
- Max penetration from AP shells has been decreased
- Min penetration of most APCR shells has been increased, most max penetration have been increased. On average penetration values should be around the same (but less random)
- AP shells do more damage than APCR, APCR has better penetration than AP
