Patch R049.01
We've just deployed a new patch which introduces a whole lot of bugfixes. You can find the full change log below. As always, please continue to report bugs whenever you come across them as bugs will continue to be our focus for the next couple of weeks. Do also have a look at our earlier roadmap dev blog if you want to know what else is in store!
General
1 - Firstly, An apology
Due to a mix up in unit nomenclature, the development team had previously released a unit upgrade which did not at all do what was intended. The Panzer IV IST upgun upgrade was introduced in a previous patch. The intention was for the upgun to be a copy of the Stug main gun, but with a 360* rotation. However, the Stug gun that was copied to create the upgrade was instead taken from a reward unit Stug(EIRSBP.WM.STUG) rather than the basic Stug (EIRSBP.PE.STUG_III). This issue has been resolved this patch, but we still apologize for this mistake. Details on what this means for the Upgun IST will be detailed below in the Panzer Elite section.
