Winter Calendar – Stage Two

Commanders!

The second stage of the Winter Calendar event begins today. We’ve once again prepared a special Winter Calendar series of missions for you!



What do you have to do to claim the amazing, cool presents we’ve prepared for you? It’s simple! Every day, until December 31, play one battle in any mode while dealing 2.500 points of damage and you’ll receive the gift of the day automatically!

To make things even more interesting, we’ve also prepared a special page for you. Here, you can track each day’s prize! And last but not least, a special bonus was also added for obtaining 10, 15 and 20 out of 27 rewards.

Please note:

For the purposes of this event, a day starts at midnight GMT each day (1 AM CET, 3 AM MSK). The event, which started earlier todaz at 1 AM CET therefore ends on January 1, 1 AM CET.

We hope that you will enjoy the event and will see you on the battlefield!

Maintenance - December 5

On the 5th of December 2019, starting from 8:00 CET (4th of December, 11 PM PST), the server will not be available for 5 hours due to the application of Update 0.30.5852.



List of Update 0.30.5852 Changes


Mechanized Infantry Returns

In this Update, we are returning the Mechanized Infantry feature to the game. As we promised, we made a number of changes that were previously broadly described in our dedicated article.

Here’s what else changed:
  • Friendly fire does no longer affect Mechanized Infantry (it’s still possible to run them over though)
  • Improved the spotting range of prone Snipers
  • Mechanized Infantry damage no longer protects you from being tagged as AFK
  • Once per minute, a Sniper can mark spotted enemies in order for them to receive increased damage
  • Added a new medal called Recon Squad for spotting enemies using your Mechanized Infantry
  • Fixed the Mortar Squad shell trajectory
  • Your Dossier now also shows Mechanized Infantry-related statistics
  • Fixed several UI issues (Infantry designation etc.)

At the same time, we are introducing a new feature for MBTs – coaxial machineguns. A large number of MBTs will have their coaxial machineguns enabled as a separate weapon system – you can switch between MGs and your main weapon by pressing the button 4 (default setting) practically instantly.

Please note that for the purpose of the game, all coaxial machineguns are of 7.62mm caliber. After all, the game takes place in the 2040s and all mercenaries have retrofitted their vehicles to this caliber.

The machineguns fire AP bullets that deal 8-9 damage and can penetrate 18mm of steel. These are usable only against infantry or very lightly armored targets (such as Wiesels and Kornets), but they can be used to effectively puncture wheeled vehicle tires.

The vehicles that are armed with kinetic missiles are being rebalanced for improved gameplay.

  • Changed the limits, within which its penetration and damage values grow, from 250-700m to 200-800m
  • Minimum and maximum range damage values for both types of missiles changed from 360-1189 to 360-1761
  • Stock missile minimum and maximum penetration values changed from 500-1500mm to 500-1400mm
  • Improved missile minimum and maximum penetration values changed from 700-2100mm to 600-1800mm
  • Rate of fire reduced from 20 to 15 rounds per minute

  • Viewrange reduced from 400 to 370m
