We just released our newest roadmap today. Within the roadmap we explain all the biggest features we will attempt to work on in the future months. As always, every future update will also contain a good dose of smaller new features and improvements.
You can see the full roadmap post here!
Other recently released features
We released a lot of stuff during Septembe, like a new AI system for Self propelled artilleries, many new vehicles, new animations and various gameplay changes.
We didn't have the time to properly discuss them within Steam posts, but you can read trough all the changes recently released in our changelogs post.
New destructible tank tracks system
We've made significant changes on the vehicle damage system in order to push it toward a better simulation. Tank tracks and vehicle wheels can now easily be damaged by smaller calibers, making AT guns more useful. Damaged tracks and wheels will show a visual effect and will prevent vehicles from moving until a member of the vehicle crew will exit and repair the part.
This little clip shows an example of the system:
Tunisia and the Second Sino-Japanese War
We are showing some news about the upcoming campaings in the roadmap post. As explained, we will start tetsing Tunisia Part 1 (North) within the next couple weeks in public BETA.
Playstation release & Console Updates
All the changes up to this update are now being delivered to Xbox and Nintendo to wait for their approval which as usual should take around 10-15 days.
Playstation 4 and Playstation 5 version of the game is proceeding development steadly.
