***BUG FIXES***

- Fixed Bazooka assisted reload using the wrong 3rd person animation.

- Fixed glitch where bots would ignore the "Get Out" command when in a vehicle
- Fixed bug where supersonic rounds were incorrectly making a "snap" sound for players within 1 metre of the firer (shouldn't start making "snap" noises until it's flown around 20 metres)
- Fixed bug where frontal shots to tanks were occasionally registering as rear hits.
- Fixed bug where missing tank treads appeared on the wrong side of the tank.

***CHANGES***

- Remodeled HE shell damage and radii to less gameplay dominating levels.
- Target ranges can no longer be dialed in using Q and E keys on American fixed telescopic sights. Guns need to be simply elevated to the appropriate range mark depicted on the gunsight reticle.
- Permanently removed range text from all American tank and American AT-Gun sights (cannot be toggled on/off with the config file)
- Accuracy of shell ranges has been improved for all German and Allied AFV's.
- AT rockets no longer comically deflect back at you when they fail armour penetration tests, they explode for no damage instead (splash damage still affects nearby infantry).
- Added blur and shake effects to AT round impacts.
- Tracers are slightly brighter.
- Tracers are slightly less frequent.
- Slightly increased blast radius for both grenade types.
- Made minor adjustments to recoil on the Bren, BAR, MP40, Greasegun and Sten.
- Adjusted U.S. winter uniform colouration to hopefully be easier for people to differentiate on "Autumn" maps like Stoumont
- Panzerschreck 1st person animation no longer loads an incorrect shell model
- Adjusted Panzerschreck and Bazooka solo reload animations to be more natural at the beginning and end
- Adjusted aiming hand and throwing arm on grenade animation to more accurately represent the point of aim
- Adjusted BAR sprint animation to look less unnatural
- Enfield No. 4 sniper now reloads slightly faster
- Moved Scope closer in on enfield.
- Replaced BAR and Carbine firing sounds
- Removed reload stance restrictions on PIAT
- Removed crouch/deploy restriction on Bazooka/Panzerschreck assisted reload (must still be sighted however)
- Changed US/Brit tanker severed limbs to some that better match the soldiers they've been blown off
- Dropped MG's no longer lose their spare barrel - a side effect however is that non-MG classes who pickup an MG can now change barrels
- Players will no longer incur a suppression effect from friendly fire if they are within 10 metres of the firer (to prevent unintended suppression of the friendly soldier next to you)
- Slightly reduced the chance of an engine fire starting from a regular shell hit (as opposed to a shaped charge round, which is still a high chance)
- Drastically reduced the length of time vehicle engines can burn before being destroyed
- Tanks no longer catch fire when they hit low health - instead there is now a chance to ignite from any successful penetration
- Hull fire duration is now more variable; it could be 5 seconds before detonation, it could be 45 seconds - will you risk it or run for it?
- Tanks that are on fire now have flames coming out the commander and driver hatches to more easily differentiate them from those with simple engine fires
- Added a new icon for death by burning vehicle
- Binocs zoom magnification and FOV on all AT Guns is now the same as that for vehicle commanders
- Increased Opel top speed to 42 kph
- Decreased shell reload times for the M10 Achilles and Wolverine due to the open top nature of their turrets
- Increased top speed on M5 Stuart slightly
- Likelihood of tread damage is now based on gun caliber and amount of explosive filler in shell
- Stug now carries the scissors scope for buttoned observation (not for direct fire)
- Stug machine gun position must now unbutton to exit
- Jagdpanther driver now uses the same unbutton scroll order as the Stug
- Gunsights for Sherman 75, 76, and Firefly are now positioned on the correct side of the main gun
- New, more historically accurate gunsight reticles for the Sherman 75mm and M10 Wolverine
- Sherman 76mm model with muzzle brake now has less recoil than its non-braked counterpart
- Panzer IV Ausf J now has manual turret traverse as it was historically
- Higgins boat commander now uses same binoculars as other Allied vehicle commanders
- Reduced amount of HVAP and APDS carried by Allied tanks

- Plus the usual map fixes and balance tweaks!

impressive, biggest surprise to me is the garand ping will be heard by everyone. thats really great.

no more 3rd person cupola view i loved that glitch

Diligent little squirrels

Very nice! Can't wait too try out 3.0.1.

You guys are the best!
can't wait to try it!

Can't wait to see the new "burning to death" icon.

Holy shmolly you guys work fast. that is one hell of a list.
Only thing I would think looking at the list, is that shermans may have to be issued more smoke if they are reduced to their historical armour and historical HVAP loads.
Smoke will be very important. 1 per may not be enough.

Snipers just became a Anti-tank weapon again. Nothing like thinking your impervious in your King Tiger when you go to take a look outside and suddenly become a triclops.

Wow, thats one hell of a fixlist! I've been testing and didn't even know of half of those

Really looking forward to the many tank fixes, especially the ones that mean you cant start burning for no apparent reason from small arms fire

Also I love this, will help a LOT when sniping:

- Players will no longer incur a suppression effect from friendly fire if they are within 10 metres of the firer (to prevent unintended suppression of the friendly soldier next to you)

Although I kind of think the old way was more realistic, I mean who wouldn't flinch if an MG started up right over your head

This made me laugh for some reason, just the absurdity of it:

- Changed US/Brit tanker severed limbs to some that better match the soldiers they've been blown off



Thanks a *lot* for the hard work guys!

Hope the magnified sights on the tanks are fixed . Except that it looks very good

SS-Oberscharführer u. Zugführer, Eugen Reinhard

And fixing the depression on the Tiger 1s main armament is not mentioned.
Presumably the fixing of zoom sights will include the fixing of the tigers zoom sight.

The depression on the Tiger I main gun is fixed.

The enhancement of the zoomed sights will have to wait until our next content update.

Oh, and while you guys are working on updates/fixes, please have a look at the old problem that causes the servers not showing up in the Steam browser, or talk to Valve about it.

if you guys are looking for something else to fix. can you fix the british guns liek the sten and the bren because they look totally wrong when u wacth somone holding it and when they reload they look like they are reloading from a thompson or a BAR because they start taking a mag out of the bottom of the gun. Tell me if you need screenshots.

FREAKING OUTSTANDING!

Only one thing, More Smoke in the Allied tanks if less HVAP.

Once again, FREAKING OUTSTANDING!

Thanks for all the time and effort you guys put into this!
