AI Rework
Thanks to ongoing AI rework, we’ve implemented substantial changes and enhancements to the AI system, as detailed in the changelogs.*
Primeiramente, com improved CPU performance, we’re thrilled to announce a significant increase in the maximum AI count. Agora, battles can accommodate até 140 concurrent units, not including forced AI spawns, which can further elevate this number in custom missions; Contudo, até 140 units in vanilla missions yield significant gameplay changes.
The revamped AI count operates differently now. Prior to starting a Singleplayer or Multiplayer mission, you can utilize a slider to select the maximum AI count. Naturalmente, higher AI counts will result in more CPU-intensive gameplay. IA can be scaled proportionally across factions to maintain mission balance and unlock achievements, or customized per faction for a unique experience. The same flexibility applies to ticket counts. This feature was highly requested, and we hope you appreciate this addition.
Adicionalmente, we’ve introduced a novo “Covert Movement” squad order. This order directs units within your squad to withhold fire until either a “Fire at Will” command is issued or the enemy becomes “aware of the squad’s presence” (ou seja, enemies open fire toward the squad, a squad member fires, or squads enter a noisy vehicle).
This system synergizes with spotting system adjustments. In fact now, squads are more difficult to spot by enemy AI if the enemies are “unaware of their presence”. Being in a crouched or prone position further decreases the squad’s visibility when squad is not spotted already. During a “Covert Movements” ordem, AI will mimic the squad leader’s posture, allowing the leader to determine how stealthy the squad should be before engaging.
Addressing concerns about AI infantry behavior and targeting, we’ve made substantial improvements to how AI aims before firing, takes cover, e geral, follows orders and navigates the environment.
This marks a significant advancement for our AI, but our work isn’t complete! We aim to further enhance and expand infantry AI (including the consideration of new systems such as non-combatant medics) e commence work on improving vehicle AI.
Remember to let us know your suggestions for this rework in the dedicated AI-suggestion channel in our Servidor de discórdia.
Tunisia and Second Sino Japanese War
We have been already announcing that we are working on a free Tunisia campaign, which was selected by polls run with our community, in fact North Afrika campaigns appeared to be the most requested campaign.
We also recently announced that we are working on a Sino-Japanese war DLC .
It is too early to determine whether those campaigns will be ready, but they should easily be released both this year, with a bit more priority over Tunisia campaign.
We have been teasing Tunisia campaign in the trailer we recently launched:
Xbox and Nintendo Switch updates
We are now proceeding to get the updates approved by Xbox and Nintendo to bring them on console versions as soon as possible. Console’s update will be up to at least the changes mentioned in this very post.
TPS Animations Rework
We’re continuously enhancing the game by incorporating new and reworked third-person shooter (TPS) animations on basically every update. If you’d like to stay in the loop on our upcoming animation improvements, you can find a detailed list on our Servidor de discórdia.
Previously released campaigns
We can keep developing this game mostly thanks to people that are supporting us getting the base game and the DLCs. As we are doing with Tunisia, last year we developed three campaigns based on polls directed to our community, onde Normandia, Battle of the Bulge and early war France Invasion were within the most requested campaigns.

We keep improving all features of the base game and as always we will be going on listening to suggestions from people inside the Steam Discussions and the Servidor de discórdia.
Thank you all,
