Weapons and vehicles of the next update

Commanders! We’re happy to announce that the next major update will bring the long-awaited new progression and the transformation of the game, which we’ve covered in previous posts. Alongside those changes we’ll add new weapons and vehicles to your arsenals — this dev diary is all about them.

Don’t forget that in the new Enlisted these vehicles and weapons won’t be at the end of the campaign progression, but in the research trees of their respective countries.

Axis (Japan)

Players of the Pacific War campaign have so far lacked strong ground and aerial vehicles, and in the light of the next major update the Japanese could surely use some. So here they come!

This new Japanese dive bomber is a lot like the agile Japanese fighters: it’s not lacking in maximum speed and maneuverability, which allows it to sometimes “out turn” the enemy. And those who approach you from behind will be greeted by your gunner. The main weapon of this aircraft, of course, is suspended: surprise the infantry with your powerful 500 kg bomb!

Along with this vehicle you’ll also unlock the Attacker Pilot III squad.

This nimble and well-armed fighter stands out among other Japanese vehicles thanks to its powerful forward-firing weapons: it has two 12.7 mm Ho-103 heavy machine guns and two 20 mm autocannons Ho-5 with an impressive amount of ammunition. And for ground targets it carries 100 kg bombs under its wings.

Along with this vehicle you’ll also unlock the Fighter Pilot III squad.

Meet the 75 mm self–propelled artillery based on the Type 97 Chi-Ha tank. Its cannon has amazing armor penetration and powerful HE shells — and also smoke shells for tactical maneuvers and helping out your team.

Along with this vehicle you’ll also unlock the Tanker II squad.

Length of the barrel matters little when its caliber is a whooping 120 mm and loaded with high explosive shells! Of course, you cannot compare it with the IS-2 in terms of firepower, although this Japanese tank outdoes its foreign colleague in terms of reload speed: the base reload of this Navy short gun takes only 10 seconds!

This vehicle doesn’t come with a squad: you can use your available tankers to crew it.

This medium tank represents a further development of the concepts that were first tested in the Ho-I. The 75 mm cannon became longer and more accurate, armor penetration has also increased, and now it should be enough to defeat any enemy tank. If you end up in an intensive fight, you’ll be glad to know that the tank has more ammunition, and its improved frontal armor can save you from a couple direct hits. 

Along with this vehicle you’ll also unlock the Tanker III squad.

This time, the name Type 99 hides a machine gun, which is an adaptation of the well-known Type 96 for the more lethal 7.7 mm cartridge. The caliber has been increased while the magazine capacity remains the same! This modification, unlike its predecessors, is fitted with both a bipod and a bayonet, making it a truly versatile weapon in combat.

Along with this weapon you’ll also unlock the Machine Gunner II squad.

An experimental Japanese 8 mm SMG with a curved extended capacity magazine holding 50 rounds, a comfortable 600 rpm rate of fire, and the option to attach a Type 30 bayonet. What a dangerous weapon! 

Along with this weapon you’ll also unlock the Assaulter III squad.

Allies

The Allies should also expect a small but pleasant surprise.

The LaGG fighter has received new weapons! Now it’s equipped with a 20 mm ShVAK autocannon and a 12.7 mm Berezin UB machine gun. Although this aircraft isn’t meant to fight infantry and tanks, your cannon should be able to penetrate most armored vehicles from above. Real aces never miss. 

This vehicle doesn’t come with a squad: you can use your available pilots to crew it.

This version of the Sherman is famous for its shockingly huge 105 mm howitzer with excellent HE shells that can “clear out” many tanks even without penetration on direct hit. At the same time, it retained all the Sherman’s advantages, like good armor, mobility and, as a cherry on top, the legendary M2 Browning machine gun for the commander!
