The three new guns we showed off in last week’s Frontline News are now in-game for you to play with! The Austro-Hungarian Frommer Stop and Roth-Steyr M1907 are available for the K.u.K Trupp squad, while the Russian S&W No.3 is available for both Russian squads.
With a long bolt and integral magazine loaded from the top with 10 round stripper clips, the Roth-Steyr stands out on the battlefield. Despite the name, Steyr didn't contribute much to the produced design, instead primarily providing production facilities that Roth didn't have.
Firing a .44 cartridge, the Russian S&W No.3 revolver offers greater firepower and a faster reload (as you can see below), but the downside is that you need to manually work the hammer each time you want to fire.
The Frommer Stop is a Hungarian pistol, unusual in using a long-recoil operation more commonly found in shotguns. It also saw limited use by the Ottoman Empire.

New Sounds

While already live in Tannenberg for a bit we wanted to show what progress has been made on this front. Our audio engineering team at Game Audio Squad has been working in parallel to redesign the audio from scratch. Since April this year the community was brought and has been polished since. For the weapon audio they were working from recordings supplied by our friends over at C&Rsenal (Thank you Othais & Mae), who fired and reloaded most of the available weapons, which have found their way ingame. Check out a large selection of fired weapons here There are many features in the new system, some are tied heavily to the gameplay such as:

A dynamic weapon fire system now handles distant gunfire and gives a spacious and roomy feel to gun battles when you advance up a line

A dynamic breathing system based on the fatigue / stamina of the soldier

Gas mask now affects the breathing of a player when sprinting

Vegetation now makes a noise when running through it

A sonic ballistic system now determines the whizz and cracks of bullets as they pass by, sub or supersonic

A suppression system will muffle audio out based on incoming fire

The tinnitus effect will occur if the ears are subjected to enough pressure

Impacts on different surfaces are now accurate for melee, bullets, grenades and bodies

Footsteps were reworked and now allow you to hear better on which terrain surface players are walking, from the mud into the grass

The off-map artillery now creates a sense that a battery of fire is opening up on the players

Combat ambient is now dynamic, with higher and lower intensity gun battles in nearby sectors

Nature ambient is based on the weather of the map (crickets at night for instance)

Explosions were reworked, they now sound more powerful and bassy to give you a kick in the stomach

Grenades now have accurate bouncing sounds Many thanks to everyone who has given feedback on our forums and the support website, it's been very helpful. Curious how it now sounds? Here is an overview video to give you an impression of the new sound effects: https://youtu.be/VyIZ2TCCwAQ You can read the full changelog here. Let us know what you think of these new firearms!

Tannenberg - Supporter Edition Upgrade

Tannenberg is the latest entry in the 1914-1918 WW1 Game Series that started with WW1 FPS Verdun, expanding the focus to encompass the Eastern Front. Warfare on the border of the Russian Empire offers a fresh experience for new and veteran players alike, with new squads and weapons, open maps that give players tactical freedom, and a whole new 64 player game mode!

This historical game takes place across the lakes, forests, and snowy plains of the Eastern Front - it was inspired by the Battle of Tannenberg in 1914 where the Russian Second Army was dealt a heavy blow by the Germans. Tannenberg offers a range of game modes - including the exciting new mode reflecting the different nature of war on the Eastern Front - and a wealth of historical detail: realistic WW1 weaponry, authentic uniforms, horrendous gore, and maps based on real battlefields, this time in the forests, plains and mountains along the border between the Russian Empire and the Central Powers.

Tannenberg key features include:

Realistic World War 1 gameplay
Tactical squad-based FPS
Warfare on the Eastern Front
Majestic backdrops and map detail
Variety of game modes for player counts of up to 64

Experience World War One on the Eastern Front
It’s all-out war on the Eastern Front! From artillery barrages and poison gas to the deadly machinegun and humble rifle, there are many weapons to master. The battlefield is a dangerous place, and a little thought will help you stay alive – lead your shots, keep your eyes open, and be ready to engage in ferocious close combat at any moment.

Authentic Eastern Front Warfare
The development team is aiming to recreate the atmosphere of the Eastern Front with the same level of accuracy as in Verdun. Uniforms have been recreated to the tiniest detail, the weapons are modeled to exact references and the maps use realistic props and terrain layouts.
