Update 1.16: Join the Common Test!

The first Common Test of Update 1.16 has started, Commanders!

Join it to be among the first to try out the third (and final!) Season of Ranked Battles 2021–2022. You can also test various balance improvements on the Siegfried Line, Ghost Town, and Erlenberg maps, as well as the addition of the Assault mode to several Random Battles locales. Let’s take a closer look.

Map Balance Improvements

We improved three Random Battle maps to address several minor issues we’ve noticed with them. Check it out.

Siegfried Line

  • A position with a bunker for the lower team has been added, allowing you to control the field and the passage in the town as you would from the position of the upper team.
  • We’ve also improved the entrance to the town for the lower team, as well as for the attackers in Assault Battles.
  • Driving through the ruins is now smoother and more comfortable.
  • The position for defense in the town for the lower team has been improved.
  • We’ve removed several trees that allowed opponents to fire at the lower team without being spotted.
  • We’ve also changed the location of the spawn points in Assault Battles so that the attacking team can better control most of the map.

Erlenberg

Encounter Battles will be unavailable for this map. We also made the following minor adjustments for Standard and Assault Battles on this map to balance the gameplay possibilities for both teams:

  • Part of the building below has been removed to increase communication between the sides.
  • The house model below has been replaced to minimize long-range firing at those crossing the river.
  • Balance changes have been made to make your gameplay more comfortable in several positions below:

Ghost Town

In Assault Battles, the location of the base to be captured has been changed.

Plus, the ground surface was leveled under the unfinished building below. This change is also relevant for Assault Battles.

The following maps now support Assault Battles:

  • Redshire
  • Steppes
Redshire Steppes

On the Steppes map, one of the defenders' spawn points is not marked on the minimap, as it coincides with the location of the base. The same goes for the attackers: If only one point is depicted on the minimap, then the whole team will spawn there.

We hope that these balance changes make your battles even more exciting.

Test the Final Season of Ranked Battles 2021–2022!
