I really enjoyed this but haven't played since the anticheat

The Q&A after the reveal was a whole lot of nothing but basically
>team has more than doubled in size since launch, they had to wait to get sales numbers before they could justify the payroll expense
>They don't want to introduce new multiplayer modes for fear of splitting queues
>support for a 3v3 mode is being considered but the matchmaking implementation is undecided
>singleplayer content/features a big priority now because their metrics showed that the vast majority of customers did all the SP stuff and then immediately quit.
>they're not particularly concerned with the drop in active players because launch numbers were so good, they believe they can gradually bring players back with new content, which is the main focus of 2026.
>multiplayer balance is also a major priority. When the game launched they had no tools set up to track multiplayer metrics and their early patches reflected this. Now they have better tools in place and a data-driven approach
>their metrics show that after the latest balance patch, the winrates between US and Russia essentially flipped and they're looking into that
>they gave up on weekly news posts because the community was being mean to them
>there's another slitherine live event on the 8th/9th (timezone depending) that will reveal the content of the FreeLC coming early next year.
That's about it.

Overall meh. There isn't much here we weren't already told and for the most part the meat and potatoes are all still far off "we're working on it but can't give a concrete timeframe" like they've been promising since launch.

Player dropped off because they were doing jack shit and the game runs like shit. Also it will never sustain an active community until it has spec/replay. Why they launched a competitive MP game without it is pure insanity.

>>they gave up on weekly news posts because the community was being mean to them
Maybe if they actually delivered people wouldn't be mean to them. It's been a whole pattern of they promise a thing, they do it twice, late, make incredulous excuses as to why and quietly never do it again.

The only thing i find interesting about this game is how negative reviews changed from English to Russian after after the nerf

I'm just frustrated with how laughably badly the devs dropped the launch.

Still playing the game, but it's more a case of 'there is no equivalent' outside of Eugen, and I'd take a pallet of Broken Arrow jank over a drop of Eugen's French autism.

I came expecting slavjank and slavjank is what I've gotten. I'm just glad they plan to keep the game alive, the last slavjank multiplayer I jumped on was Men of War 2 and that barely lasted 2 months.

I genuinely feel for all the people expecting a polished, professional product because they fell for the marketing.

I like what they did to weapon and loadout options to units and deck having 2 specializations compares to Wargame series.

>Not a single map planned for all of 2026

>>2261396 (OP)
>USA Allied Spec
Germany? We had Boxers and Leopards in the campaign.
>Russia spec
Probably based on units that are present in the files but not used, and if I remember correctly, TOS-2 is one of them.
>USA spec
Similar case as before, unused units, but Martine/Navy themed.
>Russia Allied Spec
China, obviously

That fact that we had to wait several months for a roadmap is just pathetic and now it turns out we have to wait a whole year, probably even more, to get new maps and a new country.
Thankfully, I have other games to play.

>>2263082
>USA Allied Spec
I think USA allied spec is going to be Baltics. They have more units.
>Russia spec
Russia spec I assume is going to be some sort of internal forces themed. We've seen art for FSB units before and some vehicles like bulat or typhoons are unaccounted for, as well as things that were already in the game at one point or the other like tos2 and uragan. Though I'm not entirely sure how they are going to differentiate it from motorized in the "wheel based deck with MRLS support" department so maybe they are going to do something else with it.
>USA spec
USA deck is very obviously marines2/navy, there's many units that were originally meant to be in marines but they got split off because the deck was too big. Seals, super hornets, growler. It's been pretty much open secret since even before release that this is going to happen.
>Russia Allied Spec
I'm unsure what it could be because I'm pretty sure it's not China because
>Faction DLC #1
is going to be China and China is going to be a full faction with a China VS USA pacific campaign.

>>2263123
Oh, right, I read it wrong.
Faction DLC is definitely China, but the Russian ally may be Belarus, assuming it's some European country.

>>2263207
What unique stuff Belarus even has besides some flavor of special forces and kgb

>>2263226
There's just not a lot of eligible countries to be on the Russian side. Maybe Iran?

>>2262918
They mentioned during the Q&A that there's some new maps set in a new environment coming sometime in 2026. It wasn't clear which DLC drop it would be coming with, but the maps themselves are obviously free. The hint they gave is that it's an environment "with lots of water"

>>2263207
>>2263248
North Korea maybe? Considering IRL events. Though they might want to keep that for a Chinese ally in the future.

Have they fixed the bomber k/d score bug yet?
The game is almost unplayable with it.

>we have to wait a year for China, and even longer after that until we get to see whatever the NATO faction is going to be
I'm assuming "USA allied spec" is referring to the baltic nations which already have units and models in the game. I like the game but the developers are so slow.

>>2266944
After China, Europe would obviously be #4. I'm just wondering if they'll give the Baltic Stooges access to the German Leopard 2A7s from the campaign or leave it tankless and keep those for Europe later.
The Baltics in the campaign had a LOT of units, like 2-3 regular infantry squads per country and another few recon squads each plus their transports. That's going to be one hell of a crowded inf tab

>>2266958
Euro's will prolly have 2A8's at this point, unless goym implodes before we reach that time

>>2266958
>>2266989
Yeah the game is willing to stretch what is a variant and what a unit card in a different spec so they could still get tanks. Or they could be something like russian moto deck that has 0 veh points.

this franchise is a full blown scam
game is already dead and their talking about releasing content in 2027...

>>2266944
they're not slow
they're biding their time to be able to charge infinite DLCs

>>2271328
PLA release=hire infinty chinese to play your game for 3 months

>>2271564
I guarantee you the PLA DLC is going to get the game banned in China.
