Update 0.2.2.47 (0.2.2.39 - Playstation, 0.2.2.43 - Xbox)

Update 14 octobre 2021

In this update we are introducing a redesigned soldier development and training mechanism that will make these aspects of the game simpler and clearer. Along with the introduction of this mechanism, it will be possible to level up premium and promote soldiers to their maximum level!

We also continue to add missions in the new “Destruction” mode with mining and defending key installations whilst Improving artificial intelligence and fixing detected bugs.

Improvements

Missions, locations and campaigns
Added a new mission "Gorge (Destruction)" to the "Battle of Tunisia" campaign.
Added new buildings to the "Gorge (Destruction)" mission in the "Battle of Tunisia" campaign.
Added mission options in Destruction mode, in which the Axis army is attacked.
The player is now given time to choose another respawn point if the current one becomes unavailable - for example, due to being destroyed by the enemy.
Changes to the Tank Training mission:
- stages and waypoint reorganization;
- waypoints made bigger so that players cannot possibly miss them;
- moved late shooting stages to another waypoint;
- resupply is now located enroute to the 2nd shooting point.

Squads and AI-soldiers

AI-soldiers are now better able to avoid blocking the player's view.
Started the introduction of a new soldier training mechanism, as well as made some changes to the ranking system of soldiers.
- You can no longer call up soldiers for Bronze orders. Calling for Silver and Gold orders remains.
- Soldiers can now get Bronze orders for experience in battles twice as often.
- A possibility to level premium and promote soldiers to the highest rank has been added.
- Academy has been removed. Now the rank of a soldier can be increased directly for the Bronze orders for soldiers.
- When upgrading, the rank no longer resets the level and ability, as it was in the Academy.
- Now, when replacing the ability, soldier level has been reduced by one, and you can choose a new ability after levelling in battle. Retraining points are no longer issued, but any accumulated will remain and will work.
Orders of artillery strike, player treatment and ammo replenishment will now have a higher priority for the squad's AI-soldiers than personal orders. Previously given personal orders will be reset if the player needs any of the above.

Weaponry

The Carcano Mod. 38 - bayonet knife model has been replaced with an authentic one.
The Carcano Mod. 41 now comes with the Carcano M1891 bayonet. This change will only affect rifles received after this update.
