Looks like they didnt take guns away from your soldiers even if you can no longer get that weapon for your faction. Edit: Holy poo poo if your in a three way fight and one of the attacking teams hold one point it keeps the game going for all three and wont drop the assholes that dont have a point.

I was able to log on last night. Something felt different with the planes (aiming was harder even with sensitivity way down) and in tanks any drastic turret turns became a jittering mess. Even the soldiers seemed a bit slower with the LMG... Or it was all in my imagination. I was having trouble penetrating the Russian medium armor with a tank, and my brother had no luck with the panzerschrek. I tried the RTS map but in the couple hours I played the Axis won 3 or 4 times by bottling the Allies and bum rushing the Soviets.

Gerbil_Pen posted:What took them so long? Honestly, I think Reto expected the russian players to throw loads of money at the Russian side and they didn't expect them to come short in the AT department. This sale is more or less them trying to both compensate this shortcoming and get some more funding.

Right, so my Messerschmidt can now carry two types of ammo for my cannon. At least I think so, seeing as I can equip tow different types and two different types show up in the bottom right of the screen. Been waiting for this for quite some time. But how on earth am I supposed to change between them? Pressing 1/2 does not do anything. This is really frustrating, help me goons! Edit: Whoa, I just unchecked one of the ammo types and now I can't check both of them. Perhaps it was a bug that allowed me to check two boxes?

They probably should make it a feature by giving a 5 second switch time between the types of shell you can fire.

But I'm not going to go into how things would have been. *cough* Actually amphibious russian tanks 75 round double drum magazines on the MG34s Not front-heavy Kubelwagens *cough* The handling of the BMW R75 is spot on though

Strange as a soviet player almost no one on my teams ever has anti-tank anything. It keeps happening that the enemy team will have a Tiger 2 and we just have to avoid them as like one player will be able to hurt it. edit: The PPD shoots like bbs or something I haven't really been liking it so far though I hear if you upgrade its fire rate it really helps the gun. wjs5 fucked around with this message at 19:19 on Mar 2, 2015 |

The Yak is a fine aircraft, guys. 4 bombs at the start of a match allows me to carpet bomb more than 1 cap point. It gets really really expensive tho, an average match is 6-7k in repairs and ammo. The MG ammo is scarce, however. 150 per gun is barely enough to take down a para plane, and that's if you're a really good shot.

I'm enjoying the Soviet anti-tank gun. An Allied plane missed me in a bombing run, I spun around and hit it with the BA anti-tank gun and POOF, plane went bye bye. It can take a half dozen shots on an actual light tank, but is a lot of fun on the lighter things.

I keep wondering if when I pick up an enemies weapon and go around using it if my use counts against them. What i mean is do they have to pay to refill the ammo I use and pay to fix there weapon for my using it?

I asked this once and was told that nobody gets charged for the repair and ammo while you use a stolen gun. Who knows though.

A charge is processed when item is spawned, usually. When you spawn a new panzerfaust on your jeep, it counts against your ammo pool. When you refill your gun at the ammo box, it draws from that same ammo pool and charges you either immediately, or you have to pay to resupply it. When you drop the weapon, or have your tank stolen it's already paid for. You can resupply stolen weapons at ammo boxes and nobody gets charged. However tanks and planes will deplete the ammo and remain empty, while mounted boxes are outright unavailable. I'm having a lot of problems jumping into the game that's about to end. I spawn plane/tank/jeep and get charged, only to be greeted with the * * * * * screen minutes later. I earn nothing from the match, because I haven't played long enough, but sure as poo poo get charged several hundred bucks for deploying that tank or whatever.

I can only suggest you look at the state of the map or what ever before spawning your vehical. I have done that several times as a tanker or what not to just spawn on foot and get the lay of the land.

This is worse than Red Orchestra but it's cheap and has very interesting mechanics. It's also in pseudo beta so there's hope for improvment while RO is dead.

I actually grabbed it last night to give it a whirl, pretty surprised how fun it is for being f2p and at this point I'm not having an issue with balance, though I'm not even level 3 yet. Weapons have decent punch and I've noticed that (at least in the skirmishes) you can keep people pinned pretty easily with sustained fire. Play the game cautiously, use concealment and avoid meeting the other team head on and you'll be mulching kiddos in no time. Not sure what the heavy duty combined arms maps are like, tho. I'm on the Soviets, screen name King_Parliament if anyone wants to gang up to goon out. Mans posted:This is worse than Red Orchestra but it's cheap and has very interesting mechanics.

http://steamcommunity.com/games/HeroesAndGenerals/announcements/detail/213135331428716858 Update ‘Utz’ introducing the new Forward Airfield map is now live! 15 DE ABRIL - RETO.ROBOTRON3000 This brand-new update brings a much requested new feature – a brand new map! The update is named Utz (after General Willibald Utz[en.wikipedia.org]) and here’s a quick overview of the new features we’ve added for you to enjoy! [https://www.heroesandgenerals.com] New Features New Map: Forward Airfield The new map is an assault map called ‘Forward Airfield‘ and it represents the small forward airfields built all over Europe during the war. We have published a handful of blogposts detailing the objective on the map so click the links to learn more about 'the village church', 'the bridge and village' & 'the airstrip' itself. Weapon Tweaks We have made a handful of tweaks to weapon handling of grenades, semi-auto rifles and LMGs. Read more about the tweaks here! Character Update This update also brings an update to the characters in the game. They now look much better running and when standing on sloped terrain due to the improved IK and banking. We have also adjusted the control of the character while jumping to make it look and feel better. There is of course much more happening in the build, so continue reading for more details… Other Changes Here is a list of some additional features in the Utz update. Vehicle AT crates now spawn with the first weapon ready Weather Settings tweaked and updated Performance optimization of visual effects Performance optimization of campaign map (esp. visible when having many ATs) Combat Badge tweaks – see changelog in forum for details …and much more… Mobile Command Mobile Command on Android has been updated to support the newly added the Utz build. We’re still waiting for the final confirmation on the iOS version. For a more detailed changelog take a look at: this forum thread or jump straight into the action and see for yourself!

WEAPON TWEAKS Grenades now prime faster This means that the time from when you start pressing the ‘firef’ button and until you can throw the grenade is much shorter Semi-Auto Rifle Tweaks Less sway from moving Less aim penalty per bullet Machinegun Tweaks You can now begin shooting while running (not sprinting), but you will instantly begin walking giving a more natural transition. Water impacts & Explosions All water impacts and explosions have been tweak so they both perform better and look better. Scoped Rifle ammunition now has smaller tracer So you can still see your own shots and where they land, but they don’t give your position away Oh! And by the way… When you get to the point where you decide that a crate of Panzerfausts is a better accessory for your vehicle than fuzzy dice – they now always spawn with the first one ready to pick up. This is a minor thing but f.ex helps to combat enemies spawn camping with vehicles.
