Reinforcements at the Battle for Moscow
Reinforcements are arriving soon, commanders! In the upcoming major update, the “Battle for Moscow” campaign will receive 3 new campaign levels with squads, weaponry and vehicles for each side. We will also introduce premium squads for the support specialties, available to purchase with Enlisted Gold.

Radio operators are trained to use mobile radio stations which will be carried in a backpack slot. Using the radio station will allow you to call in an artillery strike, which can potentially decimate manpower over a large area and can even destroy armored vehicles if hit directly.
USSR | 166th Infantry Division,195th Communication Battalion
Squad specialization: radio operator. There may be up to 5 units in this squad, 2 of which can be radio operators.
New weapons
АВС-36
AVS-36 — The Simonov automatic rifle has a very high fire rate and offers a burst fire mode, which makes it suitable for both close quarters and long range engagements! The high accuracy and versatility of this weapon will allow these radio operations to excel in firefights.
Historical information about the squad

Germany | 3rd Infantry Division, 3rd Communications Battalion
Squad specialization: radio operator. There may be up to 5 units in this squad, 2 of which can be radio operators.
New weapon
ZH-29
ZH-29 — A Czechoslovakian semi-automatic rifle which entered German service after the occupation of Czechoslovakia. The rifle offers balanced features and a good damage output, but with only 10 round magazines you’ll have to land your shots carefully.

The division took part in the invasion of Poland and in the French campaign. Since October 1941, the division has been operating as part of the Center Army Group during the Battle of Moscow.
28th campaign level

USSR | 50th Infantry Division, 49th Infantry Regiment
Squad specialization: anti-tank. There may be up to 6 units in this squad, 3 of which can be bombers.
New weapon
PTRS 41 — A legendary self-loading anti-tank rifle with 45mm of armor penetration and a 5 round magazine. The ability to fire without long reloads greatly increases the effectiveness of the weapon and even allows it to be used against infantry. Soldiers stand no chance against a shot this powerful, but remember to keep in mind that this bulky weapon will make aiming difficult.
Historical information about the squad
The division participated in the Polish campaign and in the Soviet-Finnish war. In August 1941 it was deployed into action during the Battle of Smolensk after which the division headed toward Moscow to defend the capital from the advancing Wehrmacht forces.
Germany | 6th Infantry Division, 6th Anti-Tank Battalion
Squad specialization: anti-tank. There may be up to 9 units in this squad, 3 of which can be bombers.
New weapon
GrB-39 — A modification of the PzB anti-tank rifle converted to fire AP grenades, the armor penetration of which reaches 60mm. This was a precursor to the introduction of the handheld grenade launcher and quite an effective alternative to the anti-tank rifles of the time. The slow flight speed of the grenade and its predominantly cumulative effect makes it a challenging weapon to use against infantry. Although a direct hit from a grenade is still just as deadly for any soldier.
Historical information about the squad
This division participated in the Polish campaign, and later the French campaign, after which it remained in France until March 1941. In April 1941, the division was transferred to East Prussia in preparation for the invasion of the Soviet Union.
