White Phosphorous

At long last, Darkest Hour now has true white phosphorous (WP) smoke rounds!

Apart from looking like a million bucks, the WP projectiles will also ignite enemies unfortunate enough to be next to the blast. The round also leaves a choking haze that will kill infantry that stay in it for too long, making it a great area denial weapon. Due to the relative rarity of these rounds (and for balance reasons) you will not be able to resupply WP rounds from logistics trucks or vehicle resupply points. The white phosphorous rounds have replaced the generic "smoke" round for the Churchill Mk. VII, Cromwell, Sherman 75mm variants, Sherman Jumbo and Sherman M4A3 105mm.

Weapon Adjustments

As part of our never-ending quest to improve the weapons, we have done a pass of small changes that can be summarrized in a few key points:

Sub-machine gun spread has been slightly reduced
Weapon sway has been adjusted to better reflect a weapon's weight and bulkiness
Increased the bash & stab range
Attaching a bayonet now has a greater effect on weapon sway
Adjusted the field-of-view of some weapons to afford a better sight picture

Miscellaneous

Added AVT-40, a fully automatic version of the SVT-40.
Added Soviet 45mm AT gun.
Increased mortar resupply interval from rally points to 30 seconds.
Reduced the rally point "establishment" counter from 15 to 10. Squad leaders should no longer need to worry about abandoning their rally points when placing them on the move.
Allied binoculars now have a unique skin.
Squad signals and name tags are now hidden when looking down a 3D scope.

Bug Fixes

Fixed a bug where squad rally point timers were not being reliably reset on round restart.
Fixed a bug where German Combat Engineers had no weapon on Black Day July.
Fixed a bug where the PPS43 sight was misaligned.

See you on the battlefield, Darklight Games
