Update 0.2.3.22 (0.2.3.17 - Playstation, Xbox)

Update 9 novembre 2021

In this update we introduce an important component of new soldier training mechanics: now you can "send unnecessary fighters to the rear" and get Bronze orders for it. We also continue to develop custom missions that can now be accessed directly from the battle mode selection menu, and the missions themselves have the ability to save presets of room settings, so that you do not waste time creating battles next time.

AI-soldiers have been trained to throw grenades more accurately, use trenches, and can now even mine a target in the Destruction mode on their own - just give the order. In addition, AI-soldiers have learned to overcome complex obstacles better.

More variation for Invasion Mode! We're starting to add variations to existing missions with the attackers moving in reverse order, marking them with the direction of attack: north, south, and so on. Get started exploring the new routes!

Check out the full list of changes, with more to come.

Squads and AI-soldiers

Added a mechanism for receiving Bronze Soldier Orders when sending active soldiers to the rear. The number of received orders depends on the class and rank of a soldier.
Improved accuracy of AI-soldiers when attacking enemy armored vehicles with grenades: now the grenades will not fly over the target.
Fixed an error that caused AI-soldiers to refuse to leave the shelter and follow the order "to take places in the vehicles" or to get into the vehicles together with their commander.
The AI-soldiers now have a better way to overcome difficult obstacles: they can jump on the obstacles and climb over them.
AI-soldiers now interact with trenches even better: they will more often choose them for shelter and movement instead of bypassing them.
The distance at which AI-soldiers prefer to engage in close combat has been reduced from 3 meters to 1.
You can now order soldiers to mine the target in Destruction mode. Aim at the target to mine and press the "Squad Context Order" button. You can also give an order by selecting a specific squad member.
The rear passenger of a motorcycle can now fire a personal weapon.

Weaponry and equipment

Replaced the Bren Mk I model with an authentic one.
Added new equipment and uniforms to some British and Italian soldiers.
You can now buy more than one sabre or cavalry sword per nation in any campaign. For example, the collectible edged weapons of Operation Fire November.

Marked vehicles are now highlighted with their unique icons: car, boat, motorcycle, anti aircraft gun, anti-tank gun and tank. Allied equipment is also displayed with icons on the minicard.
Allied soldiers in a boat now have markers displayed above them, just like any other exposed vehicles.
Improved the effect of hot air on the ground in the Battle of Tunisia campaign locations.
