aber lest selbst hier die readme:
Increasaed player visiblility limits are set to go live tomorrow along with several changes designed to help attrition for objective battles. The STUG has made it and is ready for offline but the Sherman is still lagging a little bit, hopefully it will be ready in the next week to ten days. We've also got a lot of new sounds thanks to Mike Patti.
You'll all want to spend a little time tomorrow seeing what level of the player vis limit your performance will allow. I would suggest that everyone start at medium unless you are already seriously lagging in big battles (that term has been redifined I think you'll agree).
Bomber EWS has also gone in. We're tweaking it atm to balance the ability to sneak a bit and the desire to make gameplay for these bomber missions be vastly more exciting. You'll really need more bombers and more escorts to get the same job done. To that end we'll probably have a few adjustments to the system and we're starting by increasing the time factories rebuild by 50% and making linear output a direct function of damaged sustained, basically every bomb will be worth more.
There are some more changes planned for EWS for 11, including identifying large from small forces but that can wait until Friday. This weeks in production announcment should have a few things that will get your blood pumping and we've got a discussion about some upcoming plans for objectives. I'm sure many of the regulars will be there but if you're reading this, we'd like your input as well.
Here are the release notes for tomorrows update:
