Revenge of the French Heavy: The New Somua SM is Here!

Изображение
Attention fans of the French autoloading heavy tanks: Meet the new Somua SM Tier VIII! The Somua has a playstyle similar to the  AMX 50 100  or  AMX 50 B  and a five-round clip, making it a perfect addition for fans of French autoloaders. The Somua SM is a powerful support vehicle with an opportunistic playstyle. Time your attack perfectly and you can make your entire clip count! Armour: While it can't compete with the most heavily armoured vehicles, it can deflect shots from same-tier vehicles. Turret armour is the strongest frontally; combine this with very good gun depression and you can easily hide the most vulnerable spots. Mobility: The acceleration is decent, allowing you to easily keep up with most heavy tanks. Firepower: As with French autoloaders, main firepower depends on the burst damage, and the Somua has plenty. The five-round clip can cripple or completely obliterate any enemy, and all in the time span of nine seconds. Just make sure you're safe to reload afterwa

Update 1.0 - New Glacier Map

Изображение
Soon your tanks will be battling it out on a new battlefield set amongst the snow-capped mountains and thawing atmosphere of Sweden in winter. With a collection of ships permeating the frozen bay and remnants of a former Scandinavian village, Glacier certainly adds its own character to the map pool. Let’s take a closer look! Overview Mode: Random Battles (only Standard Battles format) Size: 1000x1000 Vehicles: Tiers IV–X The map isn’t specifically based on any locale or any historical battle (due to Sweden’s neutrality during World War II). The key element is its charming winter setting. Besides, if you’re looking for a bit of variety, Glacier certainly makes for a breath of fresh air. Glacier might not be set in any particular era of time but the conditions signal the end of winter on Sweden’s coastline. The cold atmosphere is beginning to thaw, and soil and terrain is starting to penetrate the white snow and permafrost. Roughly a third of the map is occupied by the sheet ice

Update 1.0: Graphics Optimization and Settings

Moving to a new engine was a long and complicated affair as we had two key objectives: make sure the graphics were both improved and optimized. With 1.0, you will immediately notice the graphical improvements and wonder what strain it might put on your rig. Well, with hard work and dedication, we’ve managed to keep the minimum and recommended system requirements unchanged. What does this mean? If you’re playing on an older computer (the game has been played on PCs a decade old), no fear, you will still be able to enjoy improved graphics. To get the most from your rig, make sure to run the auto-detection feature when starting the game, more on that later… How Did You Manage to Keep the Same System Requirements?
