  Just played a quick couple of scenarios to have a look some new features ..


   Its a great patch !   8)

one small problem I noticed , might be at my end due to graphics settings ..but flares are really bright , really burns out everything when used on snow maps

going to have a long play with it over the rest of the week and will try to give a detailed feedback .

Aght! Mein retinas!

Sure that this isn't from any graphic setting?
Played a battle yesterday and I saw some flares but none was like that, I have maxed out any graphic setting, maybe you lowered some of them. or keep that standard settings.

But I have a problem too, is it just me or do sounds play with delay? I saw this when artillery started coming it, impact on screen but the sound for the explosion came 0.5-1 second later.

Was your viewpoint right on top of the explosions?  I ask because if it was some good distance away perhaps the game models the difference between the speeds of sound and light?  Probably not, but it's a happy thought.

Sound velocity is approx 340 m/s. If you are far away from the shot, the sound will fly to you with a delay, ie for supersonic projectile you will hear the gap and then the sound of the shot. In real life and in our game.

Cool, didn't know the game models that, thanks.

I just bought the game a few weeks ago and have been learning how to play it. I kind of thought the sounds were delayed from distances away. A very neat feature which makes it more realistic.

[Dane49]

Yes,a very cool feature.I don't think this is a new feature though.I'm pretty sure its been in the game for quite some time.

I was not clear if radio was for GTOS or MUES.  I am thinking for Mues.   

[Aces]

Hi mate, I thought GTOS as it was included in the new patch changelog that Andrey posted recently.

"89) Added portable radio for German radio squads (in quick battle states)."
