Reto.Hades 3,433 Report post Posted December 18, 2019 Soldiers! Winter is here and the Cold Front must be fought on! PREPARE FOR A SNOWFIGHT!* It seems like we are having a snowy holiday! Snow has covered all of the lands and in the holiday season you might also find a few snowballs in your pockets! The snowfall effect is active through the holiday season, if you want the snow to be a core part of Heroes & Generals, please let us know in the forum! HOLIDAY SKINS AND MORE Soldiers now have more holiday skins available for a Limited Time Only!** You will find three new Anti-Tank Holiday Skins along the recurring Submachine Gun skins! Holiday Skins Bazooka M9A1 < NEW! Panzerbüchse-39 < NEW! Ampulomet Model 1941 < NEW!

Each category has different items on sale and we will cycle through each category one at a time during the Holidays! Follow this link and keep an eye out! Get exactly what you want for this Holiday! AIRFIELD MAP REWORK AND TERRAIN UPDATE We have shifted focus away from the new assault map and into the current maps to make sure they are on par with the gameplay experience we have envisioned. This includes but is not limited to some terrain fixes! To that extent, the Airfield map has been the main focus of update 1.17 - more cover for infantry, new routes for flanking and a better experience all-together! Terrain fixes have been deployed on Samrée Depot, Sawmill, Airfield, Factory and Mountain Town maps. This should fix much of the uneven terrain and we will continue to monitor and correct any terrain issues. NEW RTS FEATURE: RESOURCE DEPLOYMENT QUEUE Assault Teams will now be put into an account based queue. When your account is No. 1 in queue you will have your prioritized Assault Team deployed if resources are available, then your account will go back to the bottom of the queue. This feature will allow all players to have a fair chance in deploying their Assault Teams while introducing more strategic planning of which Assault Teams to deploy first. MODEL UPDATES We have recently set up a new way to build our houses, in update 1.17 we are soft-launching one of the new houses on Colmar Hamlet map with many more to come! We have upgraded the American Truck, 1/4 ton, 4x4, the German Kübelwagen Typ 72 and the Soviet GAZ-67 to PBR. They now look better, have a speedometer, better glass effects and a lot more details. BUGFIXES Fixed an issue with Special Classes not being limited in the matchmaker. Special Classes joining a match are once again limited to 6 in total with a limit of 4 per type. Login, chain your wheels, paint your arsenal and head into battle on new terrain now! Enjoy!

There are plenty of stuff to buy, guessing for little money so just go for it I did.. bought on black friday sale 13k Gold, but my concern is about those that wont or cant buy Gold. The Gold only Sale pisses them off and a Gold only community is to small to keep the Game alive. We need freeloaders to fill matches and maybe they'll one day buy Gold too. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Trollfaktor 396 Report post Posted December 18, 2019 i understand that right, the production was too low before anyway. that's why players were sitting in the queue all the time. a few who were online at the beginning of the war were lucky and got most of what they asked for. but that it should be fair is decided by reto, that now everyone should sit in the queue. even those from the beginning try to stabilize the front of their faction . classic reto I'm still sitting here with 300 recon spawns and no infantry......... 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

No. We need expensive gold skins to incentivate gold purchases. btw nice update reto. Will invest gold later today and get all the avaiable skins.they look good. And the new house prop looks even better. 11/10 so far Edited December 18, 2019 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

PUSH your inf AT's up in your prioritization-choice queue... For lack of a better Word I.e. YOU can shift the AT's around in the list of what is supposed to go when into the one AT of your account resource queue - use the up and down arrows on the right! Also for the AT at top!

That is incorrects. Players are able to get out all their units as long as there are supplies. Early war, there are still stockpiles, so you will be able to push out all your units. It does take longer to deploy them all, as it now only deploys 1 unit at a time. I don't dare to say how long it will take exactly, on the US side, where there is still plenty of stockpile, I get out about 4 units per minute now. I expect that the more people are in queue, the slower this will go even with a stockpile. If you click on the 'hourglass' of your units waiting for deployment, you will open up a 'priority screen'. From there you can change which unit is up front. So generally it may be wise to set units that don't have enough resources in stockpile last, while setting units that do have stockpiles first. The system should result into smaller generals having their units out faster. While larger generals will get their units out slower, but at a steady pace, meaning they don't have to wait 6 days before their first units get deployed. 5 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
