Hello, everyone! We hope you're having a great 2021 so far. As our first release this year, we're excited to present you the new and updated BAR, a range of beautiful new M1 Carbines, and some other goodies.

Weapons

Browning Automatic Rifle M1918A2

In this update BAR received a complete rework and it never been looking sexier! It's characteristics were updated as well, making it more controllable and a joy to shoot. Fun fact: the bipod on the new BAR uses procedural animation and swings around with your movements.

M1, M1A1, and M1/T17 Carbines

The trusty Carbine comes in 3 variants, including a converted selective-fire version (T17). Just like BAR, this rifle was reworked from the ground up, and takes the spot as one the most well crafted weapons we got in the game. The models for BAR and the Carbine were designed by our community member and a talented 3D artist eksha.

Volkssturmgewehr 1-5

This German ersatz semi-automatic assault rifle was developed in late 1944 as dwindling materiel and manpower put pressure on wartime industries to make cheaper and more primitive weaponry. It might not be the prettiest "gewehr" on the field, but it might just save your life!

Miscellaneous

• New Kongsberg Colten M/1914 pistol available for German troops.
• Sweeping changes to all weapon gun sight pictures to improve feel and consistency.
• All scoped (Textured and 3D) were updated to have proper magnification and field-of-viev.
• Reduced spread on all rifles.

Interface

To help with spatial awareness inside tanks, the HUD received a nifty little feature which shows players cone of vision. This feature should be especially helpful when looking through periscopes, but can be disabled in the setting if you wish so.

Vehicles

The vehicle roster got updated with new camos for the King Tiger and the Hanomag. Our newest team member Matty provided us with these lovely winter paints.
