Battle for Berlin Reinforcements: Level 24-26

Welcome to the final devblog of the series where we will introduce you to the new upcoming content of the “Battle for Berlin” campaign. Everything will become available in an upcoming major update.

24th level

New semi-automatic snipers are arriving soon in the “Battle for Berlin” campaign! You can give these rifles to the sniper class in the “Soldiers” tab by clicking on the appropriate squad, a specific soldier, and then on the weapon slot itself.

USSR | SVT-40

A sniper version of the SVT-40 semi-automatic rifle - complete with a 3,5x scope and 10 round magazine. A very effective weapon at medium range, the fast fire rate will allow you to take follow-up shots easily and give you the potential to take out multiple soldiers without reloading.

Germany | Gewehr 43

The Semi-automatic Gewehr 43 with a 4x scope. The rifle features predictable recoil, fast reloading and is overall a strong competitor to its Soviet counterpart. As these rifles can be fired so rapidly, it might be a good idea to equip your sniper with ammo pouches to keep them in the fight longer.

25th level

Aircraft at this rank don’t carry a bomb load but their offensive weaponry is able to easily shoot down enemy aircraft with only a few hits. Even armored vehicles are vulnerable to this level of firepower, making these agile fighters fairly versatile.

USSR | (269th Fighter Aviation Division) 287th Fighter Aviation Regiment

“Fighter-pilots”. This squad can have 1 fighter-pilot.

Yak-9T

This compact fighter does not stand out for its maximum speed, but just like the Yak-3 it’s very maneuverable at low altitudes. But the standout feature here is easily the firepower, as the 9T variant comes equipped with the 37mm NS-37 cannon. 

Each shell fired from this cannon weighs 700 grams and is able to tear apart enemy aircraft and rip through the top of armored vehicles. The only limiting factor here is the ammunition capacity, which is limited to only 30 rounds - however, the 9T does still have a 12.7mm machine gun for backup.

Germany | (Jagdgeschwader 301) I./JG301
 

“Fighter-pilots”. This squad can have 1 fighter-pilot.

Bf 109 G-10

German aircraft have many advantages: high speed, thrust-to-weight ratio, and armament. Another important advantage is the possibility to install not only bombs under the wings, but also additional offensive weaponry. Thus the Bf 109 G-10 enters your hangar with additional 20mm MG 151 cannons in underwing pods. At the same time the "original" MG 151 (20-mm) cannons and two 13-mm MG 131 machine guns are included with it! Planes, infantry, and even armored vehicles - pick your target of choice.

Speaking of which, the Germans will soon have a similar aircraft available for Enlisted Gold - a premium squad with an experience bonus (Jagdgeschwader 4) III./JG 4, equipped with a Bf 109 G-14 fighter with exactly the same cannons.

26th level

At this level you will have access to some of the most powerful weapons for combat in the ruins of Berlin. The best submachine guns of both sides will soon be in the hands of your stormtroopers. You can equip weapons to a soldier in the "Soldiers" tab by clicking on the desired squad, its individual soldier, and then on the weapon slot.

USSR | PPSh-41

As one of the iconic Soviet symbols of war, the PPSh-41 is a practical submachine gun with a 71-round drum magazine and an astonishing rate of fire. It reaches 1000 shots per minute, which exceeds that of many machine-gun models! An excellent weapon for taking out enemy points and for aggressive close-range combat.

Germany | Beretta M38 (40 rounds)

An Italian submachine gun in service with the German forces. The Model 38 uses a powerful 9mm cartridge and outperforms Soviet submachine guns in terms of damage. The extended magazine greatly increases your firepower potential and allows you to fight groups of enemy soldiers easily. Due to the relatively high damage and controllable recoil, this weapon can even be deadly at medium ranges.

Just as a reminder, as we are still currently on the second and last stage of the Battle of Berlin campaign CBT, only those participants who own the CBT early access bundes can progress in the campaign and unlock new levels.
