AI Improvements, Amphibious Vehicles, Strategic Bombers, and More!
First off, as usual here's all the changes we performed in the most recent update. This time it took longer than usual, but the increase in the amount of features included in this update are to be seen for yourself!
This latest update brings a massive overhaul to the way AI infantry behaves on the battlefield, and its one of the most exciting changes for players craving a more dynamic and challenging experience. AI units now spread out more naturally, avoiding the often reported "Conga Lines" issue, advance with greater tactical thought, and duck prone under suppression more often. Theyll react more intelligently to nearby threats, make smarter targeting decisions, and handle close-quarters combat with noticeably improved finesse. Even vehicle AI has inherited parts of these improvements, especially when it comes to acquiring targets. All of this means that each firefight will feel fresher and more unpredictableperfect for veterans who have seen it all and newcomers who want to feel truly tested.
An entirely new gameplay system has been added with the introduction of bomber planes and AI. Both vanilla and modded bombers now have their own role on the battlefield: they perform bombing runs over the front lines, then retreat while avoiding enemy flak fire and engaging hostile fighters with their turrets. Like any other vehicle in the game, this system can be controlled by either the AI or a player. While this system is currently available on the vanilla Japanese G3M, more bombers will be added later on. A timed fuse Flak shell is currently available on the German 88mm Flak 36. This specific kind of shell can be used to target any plane, however they are better suited for high altitude bombers.
Along with the upcoming Pacific campaigns, we are including several new assets and features, such as thew new Pacific props, new US uniforms, and also this new Amphibious system. Many vehicles already supports it in game, but the biggest addition are definitely the LVT transport troop and tank variants!
Some guessed it already (and many guessed incorrectly), but the non-pacific campaign being reworked/upgraded is the Battle of the Bulge Campaign! It will come with tons of upgraded visual detail and all missions totally rebalanced to be more fun and varied. The map file will also be renamed Bastogne, and the city itself is now going to be a playable location with much detail in the streets added. Along with this campaign rework there will be 3 entirely new missions-- all focusing on the German offensive, and most involving large scale armored/tank gameplay. Here's a few in-game screenshots from various missions, some of which being from totally new ones! The rework is going to be out in BETA within the next weeks, and will more than likely be in the next mainline update.
As many of you know from the previous update post, Kwajalein and Roi-Namur are being entirely remade from the ground up. They're still work in progress, but here's some images from them now! Likely to be coming into BETA in the next month or two, along with the similarly vast Makin rework.
Here are some images from the Makin rework as well, which will be paired with the remade campaigns!
Our most recent DLC have been released earlier this year! In Easy Red 2: Shanghai-Nanking, you will fight for control of Shanghai, and the conflict will spread to locations such as: Luodian, Baoshan, Wusong, Jinshanwei, Hongkou, Suzhou creek, Chunhua, the Yuhuatai hills and the city of Nanjing. https://store.steampowered.com/app/3499380/Easy_Red_2_Shanghai__Nanking/
In case you didn't know, we have defined a precise roadmap for the next months of development and you can read it here. We will continue to improve all features of the base game, and as always we will be going on listening to suggestions from people inside the Steam Discussions forums and the Discord server. Thank you all for everything see you again soon! Marco and the Easy Red 2 Development Team

Easy Red 2 is the game for who knows what he wants from a World War 2 Game: Simulation in weapons and movements, historical accuracy in battles, huge maps with a lot of deployed units, vehicles dominating the battlefields and a realistic combat approach.
In this new version of Easy red we wrote everything from scratch to reach quality in game mechanics, and optimization to manage a new great looking design running even on low end machines.
And we are taking you in Italy, from the shores of Anzio, to the bombed peaks of Montecassino, and in Japan in the middle of the Battle for Kwajalein.
And we are ready to add more battles in the future.

And we are taking you in Italy, from the shores of Anzio, to the bombed peaks of Montecassino, and in Japan in the middle of the Battle for Kwajalein.
And we are ready to add more battles in the future.
- Simulation and immersivity
That's what we want for Easy Red 2. We try to let the player feel all the emotions that soldiers live in the confusion and adrenaline of a battlefield. Explosions, devastation, orders, shot fires will be all around the player, that will be rewarded by the game not for his number of kills, but for his strategic and survival skills. - Large battles and historical locations
All campaign will take place in large Open-World maps that reproduces the real places of the fights, and battles plans are faithful to the events that have historically occurred. However, the player won't only be challenged from surviving the fighting, but could have to follow definite orders that could change the sort of the entire mission. - Squad based gameplay
No one can go to war alone; A good tactic require a good team work.
So be the squad leader, or the medic, or maybe the radioman: You will always have a job to do inside your squad.
We especially focused on creating sub-objectives that differs from main mission objectives. While the main objective of a team may be to have to conquer a specific area, a sub-objective could be assigned following the radio requests of a tank to clear its way from an anti-tank gun that has been sighted. So gameplay has radically improved in a more realistic and dynamic way. - Vehicles
War machines have changed the war forever, and World War 2 proved that in an unequivocal way, so Prepare to jump in you Panzer 4, Sherman, M3 lee, or any tank that dominated the real battles fought in the game.
We decided to let the player have a full control of the crew of the vehicles; He will be able to drive and shoot tanks, as long as there are crew members on the seats to use each armament. Also battles doesn't stop when a tank is disabled. Lot of tank crews in World War 2 had time to escape from unusable tanks and survive the battles, and so it will in Easy Red 2: If you lost your tank in a fight you will need to bring safely your crew back to your lines. - Devastation
Explosions, will destroy sandbags, walls, fences, vehicles, defenses, and the battlefield could radically change during all the fight.
Also, enemy fire will constantly suppress you and your squad. Learn how to move safely in a real combat scenario, and keep your helmet on your head. - Optimizations
We want a smooth war simulation, so we designed our own graphic style to bring great animations, textures and effects, with the compromise of having a high and stable Frame-Rate. This means that many more units and vehicles will be able to appear on the screen, contributing to the immersion of the fight.
