Making Enlisted a Better Place №16
Each update of "Making Enlisted a Better Place" focuses on a certain aspect of the game or a particular mechanic in which we’ve fixed bugs or have added interesting features.
The improvements are mostly or even completely based on the feedback you have left in the special topics and discussions on our forums and social media platforms.
Repair kits to the masses!
Teamwork is the key to victory. We never stop reminding you of this and backing it up with action: by improving markers above vehicles or adding markers above ammo boxes. Now we want to please you with another improvement here.
If your soldier has a repair kit box in their equipment, and there is a damaged allied tank nearby, a prominent marker will be displayed above it asking for repairs.
In addition, repairing an armored buddy will now be rewarded with experience! Equip your soldiers with repair kits and help them out.
Protect your eyes
With the release of the big Burning Sky update and the anti-tank grenade launcher RPzB. 43 "Ofenrohr", informed and attentive players immediately noticed a mistake - historically, the use of this grenade launcher was implied with protective gear: gas mask and gloves.
So we are adding them.
Protection will appear on soldiers armed with this series of grenade launchers. There is no effect within the gameplay, but it will look authentic and correct.
Terramorphing in Depth
The terramorphing mechanic changes your gameplay experience: unexpected hiding places in the form of deep craters or the expected ones created by your own shovels help a lot in nearly all situations. Nearly all because of the fact that by getting too deep at some strategic points, you could literally leave their area of operation and move out from capture or defense.
We could justify this by saying that our game isn't about World War I undermining and leave it at that, but I guess we'll just fix this problem. Now the capture of the point will continue, even if you are lying in a deep crater or your own hand-made trench.
Conclusion: shovels are even more useful (you'll find them in the "Logistics" tab).
Full list of changes
- Reduced burning zone radius where fire can damage a soldier.
- Now the capture and defense of zones will occur correctly if the player is below the normal map plane: in a crater or trench.
- Added experience for using a repair kit for repairing an armored vehicles.
- A marker will be displayed above armored vehicles requiring repair, seen for players who have the repair kit in their inventory.
- Added a set of protective gear that will appear on soldiers armed with the grenade launcher RPzB. 43 Ofenrohr.
- It is now impossible to extinguish a fire or repair armored vehicles and get into them at the same time. You cannot fight fire or repair equipment while burning or seriously wounded yourself.
- Fixed an error where markers were placed onto a dead body in front of the tank instead of the tank itself.
- Fixed an incorrect rotating animation of the wheels of the German StuG assault gun.
