Greetings everyone!

Over the last few months, we have not only noticed an influx in players, but also some glaring issues that come with it.

In particular, players noted how difficult it is to cross bridges as attackers, notably Arnhem. So for that reason, we have decided to overhaul the map so that players are more easily able to cross the bridge and secure a foothold in the city. We call this "Arnhem Easy Mode" and it will be available in the next patch.

Well, Arnhem Easy Mode primarily aim to balance the attackers more effectively so that the task of getting across the bridge is more manageable for players. Some important additions have been made the map that we shall go over now.

• First of all, we have added more bridges to make the chance of crossing much easier, we've also added more pontoons so you won't need to worry about crossing the main bridge with your tanks.
  
• We also found some of these weird boats that were left a few months ago, they can help you better cross the river without the need for bridges.
  
• The high command has also approved the use of new experimental vehicles and weapons.
  
• And because crossing a river wasn't enough we've also dug tunnels into the town, this should make it easier to get those logistics across without being harmed.

Coming in the next patch, we are very excited to share this new mode with you and we hope that it resolves the issues players have been had with bridge crossings. Now, we plan to roll this change out to all bridge layers, but we felt that Arnhem is a good test bench for this new experimental change.

ROADMAP

Greetings everyone!

For the past few days, we have been gathering historical information both from historians and community members about the uniforms of factions presently playable in the game.

Today we present to you a glimpse of the new Wehrmacht & 1st Airborne 1944 version. This version will available as soon as all the new tweaks on the characters are not causing any potential gameplay related issues.


Here is a detailed list of the changes made to the 1944 Wehrmacht faction:

- Fixed off-centre legs and made officer trousers bigger
- Added correct trousers with gaiters to the enlisted.
- Added a rolled up sleeve tunic variant.
- Corrected positions of breadbag, canteen, tin can, gas canister and zeltbahn to fit a non-A-Frame loadout.
- Added arm and shoulder patches
- Added correct collar tabs to NCO's
- Added eagle (without swastika) to uniform
- Added new head meshes to characters and gave them a less baffled, more serious default look.
- Added more role-specific gear and insignias
- Changed canteen cover to fur instead of cloth (cloth was used post-1950)
- Gave uniforms a slightly more greenish tint to match historical references.
- Slightly tweaked the colors of various gear to match historical references.
- Added Iron cross ribbon to NCO's and Officers

Alongside the changes made to the German Wehrmacht faction, we have also been
working extensively on updating the British 1st Airborne and their uniforms to be up to par with the new Wehrmacht ones.

We have been looking at historical references in order to give them a more historically correct appearance and like the Wehrmacht, they’ll be available as soon as we’ve ensured they won’t cause any potential issues for players.



Here is a detailed list of the changes made to the 1944 1st Airborne faction:

- Adjusted the body proportions of the characters.
- Fixed legs being offset.
- Added correct Airborne patches.
- Added some randomized head meshes.
- Adjusted the Helmet netting texture.
- Added a few more helmet variations.
- Added the NCO rank arm patch.

We want to also mention that as of now the changes does not include the tanker uniforms for either faction, but they will also be getting a pass to make them fit in with the new uniforms.

And of course we have more to come…
