We're announcing the next Axis Operations DLC for Panzer Corps 2: 1942.

It is a crucial year in WW2, with some of the largest battles of the whole war occuring on the fiercely contested Eastern Front. This new campaign is 17 missions long with players needing to fight both tooth and nail against the Red Army as Germany.

Axis Operations 1942 retains some classic features of the Axis Operations series, such as returning mechanics like Commendation points as well as original and unconventional new mission objectives, including airlifting supplies to pockets of German forces, providing dedicated Close Air Support for Axis partner nations, and one very unusual mission to assist in the escorting of several Kriegsmarine vessels directly through the English Channel.

It is also the first Axis Operations DLC with more than one ending. Given the importance of the battle of Stalingrad, seen by many as the real turning point of the war, you will see different outcomes depending on how well you perform there.

It also includes new units, of course. There are new units for Hungary (improved Toldi II Model 1942 and Turan 1 tanks), new utility and prototype units, to supplement the game's impressive array of mid-war era vehicles and weaponry, as well as visual upgrades for existing German vehicles.

Just like any other Axis Operations DLC, it can be played as a standalone DLC or, if you want, you can import your core army from the previous DLC, 1941. At the end of 1942 you will also be able to export your core army to any future DLC of the Axis Operations series.

Axis Operations 1942 will be released on July 9th.

If you would like to sign up for the beta, you can do so by clicking here. Your feedback is extremely valuable, and it will help us greatly.

Last but not least, we're opening a new tournament for Panzer Corps 2. You can sign up now. The first round will begin next week, on Thursday June 17. It is a PBEM tournament which will accompany us throughout the release of the DLC, and will conclude one day before its release.

Hey everyone, today we have exciting news!

A preview build of the upcoming 1.7 UI update is now available via the Steam betas option tab (access instructions below).

For the past months, we have been working hard on a complete rehaul of the UI. Phase I is almost complete and we are excited to bring you a preview build so that you can all take a first hands-on look at the new revamped Foundation interface.











We still have some outstanding improvements to make in Phase I, but now is the perfect time for us to gather your feedback. We would love to hear your thoughts and suggestions in the pinned preview feedback thread here, or alternatively join us on Discord where we have a dedicated channel for the 1.7 UI preview.

Vanilla (non-modded) save games from the current live build should, in most cases, be compatible with the preview build. However, as always with a preview build, we thoroughly recommend trying a fresh game to get the full benefit and experience from this update.

Many mods will require migrating to the new build and will not initially work, as such, modded saves will likely need to wait for mod updates and the full 1.7 UI release. We will be working closely with the modding community to help them get updated as quickly as possible during the preview stage.

Preview build saves will be compatible with the full release of the 1.7 UI update

Phase I is a huge foundation [Warning: pun overuse] for more improvements to come with subsequent phases looking to fine tune the art style, improving usability and UX as well as looking deeper into accessibility features and then final UI polish.

We hope you enjoy the new look UI and we look forward to hearing your feedback.


If you would like to take a look or help test out the preview build you can gain access via the Steam betas tab in Foundation properties.

• Right-click Foundation in your Steam library
  
• Click on properties
  
• Navigate to BETAS
  
• Choose the preview - Next Build Preview option

The game will automatically update but if it does not you may need to restart your Steam client.



Please note: The preview build is work in progress and is likely to contain some bugs. Any Bugs you might find can be reported here on the Steam forums or you can join us on Discord where we have both feedback and bug reporting channels.

Game changes

• We have removed some features that were in place to help with early access testing.
  
• Friendly matches are now limited to 10 per week. Managers will get a pop-up to notify them if they have reached the limit. Also, no funds will be earned for a match if the UDP of the team is under 50%. This is to avoid clubs “farming” money with matches they do not intend to play.
  
• Additional positions can only be learnt in club matches. Custom matches and quick matches will not be counted.
  
• User credits will no longer be rewarded after playing matches.

Tournament intro

• Fixed a bug where squad numbers are displayed under the player, during the tournament match intro.

Trial contract text

• We’ve added some text to the trial contract pop-up, to give new users more information when they start.

Default squad

• Fixed a bug where the default squad was not being saved for a club.

Action menu cut-off

• The height of the action menu is now dynamic, to avoid users having to scroll if there are a lot of actions available.

GK actions

• The tackle with hands action has been buffed slightly. Also, to avoid confusion the GK will not have a save option when interacting with passes & crosses.

Moments tutorial

• The GK kit has been updated in the Bobby Sparks moment, to avoid confusion between clubs. The turn info panel has been disabled during the initial text help.

Ball path

• Fixed an issue where the ball path would go out of sync in the 3rd phase.

As always, you can leave feedback in a review, through the steam forums or you can join our Discord and raise them directly to us there.

Commanders!

Today we’ve prepared the following items for you:

• Tamanskaya skin for the T-90 Main Battle Tank
• Russian Arctic camouflage
• Progression Vehicle Discounts
• Object 640 Tier 10 Premium Main Battle Tank
• Military Bundles (Object 187 and T-72B3)
• T-72B3 Tier 8 Premium Main Battle Tank Bundles
• BMPT Mod.2017 Tier 8 Premium Tank Destroyer
• Object 187 Tier 7 Premium Main Battle Tank (standalone)
• Iron Crate (this time with the Panzer 87-140 Tier 10 Premium MBT)

Between June 10 and 17, 2021, the following items will be available:




This skin for the T-90 Tier 7 Main Battle Tank is based on the paintjob used by the 2nd Guards Motor Rifle "Tamanskaya" Division "Mikhail I. Kalinin", one of the most famous Soviet, and later Russian, armored units active to this day. You can read more about it in our dedicated article.



The skin is available as a part of the Tamanskaya bundle, which contains the following items:

• Tamanskaya skin for the T-90 MBT
• Battle-hardened status for the T-90 MBT
• 1.500 Gold

This is a modern day camouflage used by the Russian units deployed in the arctic regions of the country. It consists of grey and black spots on white background and has been seen on both light and heavy vehicles, including the MBTs assigned to these units. These typically are the T-80 series tanks as their gas turbine engines have an easier time and are more reliable when running in extremely low temperatures.



This camouflage can be installed on any vehicle that has the camouflage customization feature available and can be used in all three environments.








As a part of this offer, the following progression vehicles are available for lower Credit price than usual directly in the game:

• T-14 Armata (-20%)
• T-15 Armata (-20%)
• T-90MS Tagil (-30%)
• BMPT-72 Terminator 2 (-30%)
• T-90A Vladimir (-30%)
• Ramka-99 (-30%)
• T-90 (-40%)
• T-80U (-40%)
• BMP-3M (-40%)
• BMD-2M (-40%)
• BMD-2M (-40%)
• T-72B (-40%)
• T-80B (-40%)
• BMP-3 (-40%)
• BMD-4 (-40%)
• T-72 Ural (-50%)
• T-72A (-50%)
• T-80 (-50%)
• BMP-2 (-50%)
• T-64A Mod.76 (-50%)
• BMD-2 (-50%)

The Object 640 is one of the last Soviet era “super tank” monsters, designed to surpass anything the west could field on the battlefield. It featured extremely advanced armor, making it highly resistant to hits while keeping its weight low. The design was truly revolutionary for the late 1980s, but, like with many other Soviet projects of the era, it was discontinued due to the lack of funding. You can learn more about it in a dedicated article.



In Armored Warfare, the Object 640 “Black Eagle” is a Tier 10 Premium Main Battle Tank. It is a fast, agile and well-protected vehicle that plays in a typical Russian-style MBT fashion – ideal for players who want to take things up close and personal. This version of the tank does not feature any camouflage and is ready to be customized as you see fit.

The Object 640 Tier 10 Premium MBT is available in our Web Shop via Loot Crates. Collect 100 blueprint pieces from these crates to obtain the vehicle.








This week, we’ve prepared three special Military bundles with real-life camouflages.



The T-72B3 Military Bundle includes (apart from the vehicle itself) the Kantemirovskaya division real-life camouflage and free a Guards Badge decal belonging the elite units of the Soviet army. The camouflage will, of course, come in handy for other vehicles as well. For example, it’s ideal for the T-80U Main Battle Tank or the BMP series of vehicles, since these are used by the Kantemirovskaya division.



The second T-72B3 Military Bundle, on the other hand, includes (once again, apart from the vehicle itself), the Red Army khaki base paint, three Russian real-life camouflages and a decal that can be typically seen on various military parade vehicles of the Russian army. Together, they allow you to customize your T-72B3 to look the way it can be seen in reality. The camouflages will, of course, come in handy for other vehicles as well.



And finally, the Object 187 Military Bundle includes, apart from the vehicle itself, the attractive Volna real-life camouflage (as seen on an actual T-80B MBT in the 1990s) and a decal depicting the crest of the Academy of the Russian Army.








The T-72B3 is the most modern Russian T-72 variant currently in service. It is a heavily upgraded version of the T-72B, featuring Kontakt-5 ERA kit and an improved Fire Control System. Together, these modifications allow the aging T-72 to serve well into the 21st century. You can learn more about its history in our dedicated article!



In Armored Warfare, the T-72B3 is a Tier 8 Premium Main Battle Tank. It continues the tradition of other Russian tanks. Its low silhouette, good mobility, powerful 125mm gun and its advanced ERA kit make it a formidable opponent. This version of the T-72B3 is offered without any camouflage.








The BMPT Mod.2017 is one specific version of the BMPT Terminator that was deployed in 2017 in Syria for extended testing along with some other Russian prototype equipment, including the SU-57 jet fighter and the Uran-9 combat robot. It consists of a modified T-90 hull with a modernized turret from BMPT-72 installed on it. Another major difference was the presence of a new type of Explosive Reactive Armor that was made of soft fabric bags with explosive filler. You can read more about it in our dedicated article.



In Armored Warfare, the BMPT Mod. 2017 is a Tier 8 Premium Tank Destroyer and arguably the most powerful variant of the BMPT family. Like the others, it combines a tank hull with an unmanned turret, armed with two 30mm cannons as well as four missile launchers. Its thick armor and advanced ATGMs quickly made it one of the most feared vehicles of Tier 8 battlefields, a position it retains to this day.








The Object 187 was a Soviet era program, developed to improve upon the excellent but ageing T-72 Main Battle Tank. Several prototypes were built, featuring a number of advanced elements compared to the older Soviet tanks, such as the new long 125mm smoothbore gun with a typical muzzle brake. The result was an excellent MBT that was, however, never mass-produced due to the 1990s Russian military budget cuts – the Russian army chose a less advanced but cheaper T-90 instead. You can learn more about it in our dedicated article.



In Armored Warfare, the Object 187 is a typical Russian style Main Battle Tank – it’s suitable for an aggressive play style and is a good choice for the players who prefer to take on their opponents at close ranges.

This vehicle is now available as a standalone item.








We’ve prepared for you an additional offer this week. Between June 10 and June 17, 2021, the Iron Crate will be available on MY.GAMES Market with 50% discount!



The mechanics are very simple. This crate allows you to win one of the vehicles listed in its description (or its value in Gold if you have it already). The crate contains some very rare vehicles (with some new ones!), including the Panzer 87-140 Tier 10 Premium MBT.
