00:53The season of vacations, camping, spending time with friends,
00:56and of course, checking out exciting new updates in your favorite games.
01:00Meet the Forest Shadows update.
01:02But don't expect to find only mushrooms and berries in our woods,
01:05because things are heating up, even in the shade.
01:07So it's time.
01:08Get ready for battle!
01:10This year marks the 80th anniversary of the end of the Second World War,
01:14and we couldn't resist returning to Berlin.
01:16More precisely, to the forests surrounding it.
01:19These are the very woods where the final barrages of the European theater thunder.
01:24In April 1945, the troops of the First Belarusian Front began their assault on Silo Heights.
01:30While simultaneously, the First Ukrainian Front advanced from the south.
01:34On April 25th, they joined forces near Potsdam, finishing the encirclement of the German capital,
01:39and as you know, soon afterwards, Berlin fell.
01:43In the new VAUD mission, the action unfolds in the legendary forests of Brandenburg.
01:48Prepare to immerse yourself in this unique combat environment.
01:51A combination of dense woodlands, rural areas, and industrial facilities offer many tactical options
01:57for dynamic mid- and long-range engagements.
02:00On the outskirts of town, you'll find a formidable defense line designed to halt the advance of attackers.
02:05Here, close quarters specialists will find their calling.
02:08Overcoming the network of trenches and pillboxes won't be an easy task.
02:12Prove your skill in navigating the rough terrain.
02:15Break through enemy defenses.
02:16Demonstrate tactical superiority in urban warfare.
02:19And complete your objective.
02:21Victory is in your hands, commanders.
02:23With the new mission comes another vital feature.
02:26The preferred mission system.
02:28Now you can have an influence on where your battle takes you.
02:32Pick your preferred ones and enjoy battles on the locations you really love.
02:36No one lacks commanders who leave their teammates outnumbered.
02:40From this update on, deserters will not only earn less rewards for the battles they left,
02:44but also receive a 20% penalty on their next two matches.
02:48We continue to make the game better.
02:51This update also introduces major visual changes to all ground and air effects.
02:56Bullet impacts.
02:57Explosions of vehicles.
02:59Bombs.
03:00Artillery shells.
03:01Drop tanks.
03:02Grenades and rockets.
03:03Projectiles ricocheting off the armor of the tanks.
03:06Alongside improved sound effects.
03:08Gunfire.
03:09Airburst.
03:10And much more.
03:11You can now visually distinguish high explosive and armor-piercing shell hits from fast-firing
03:17vehicles and aircraft too.
03:19This update introduces four new weapons.
03:23One for each nation.
03:24You are already familiar with this Soviet automatic rifle from World War II commanders.
03:29However, this variant of the ABT-40 comes with a pleasant surprise.
03:33A 20 round magazine.
03:35Time to upgrade your arsenal.
03:37Japanese combat engineers refit the M2 carbines that they captured for their needs,
03:42creating a compromise between the firepower of a rifle and the mobility of an assault weapon.
03:47When there is nowhere left to retreat to, this carbine becomes your last, but very deadly,
03:53words.
03:54Operation Werewolf required a special approach to weaponry.
03:58German saboteurs were given a suppressed version of the revolutionary STG-44 assault
04:03rifle.
04:04A combination of automatic fire and stealth in one package.
04:07Just what was needed in guerilla warfare.
04:09An elite force formed during one of the darkest chapters of history.
04:13British commandos now joined the fray too.
04:15Thanks to access to American weaponry, they are armed with Thompson M1 submachine guns
04:20instead of the less reliable Sten.
04:22Plus, the added suppressor makes this weapon an even deadlier tool in special operations.
04:27And of course, we haven't forgotten the new vehicles either.
04:31For example, one of the best tank destroyers of the US Army during World War II,
04:35the M36 Slugger, appears on the battlefield.
04:38In boxing and baseball, Sluggers are known for their strong, heavy hits.
04:41This vehicle lives up to its nickname thanks to its powerful 90mm cannon that can penetrate
04:46most enemy tanks.
04:47The Jagdpanther, or in German, the Jagdpanther, is famous for the same reason.
04:52These tank destroyers are armed with the same powerful 88mm cannon as the King Tiger.
04:57This is not the first time this iconic Predator appears in the game, but now it's unlockable for everyone
05:03as a counterpart to the Slugger and other similar high-tier machines.
05:07Achieving victory on the ground alone doesn't win the battle.
05:10But in this update, Japan's Violet Lightning, the N1K2J Shiden-K, joins the fight.
05:16With its four 20mm cannons, your air superiority is ensured, and the two rockets will hold the infantry in bay.
05:23Strike, light, lightning!
05:26Behind the Type 5 fighter designation lies a true predator of the skies, the Kawasaki Ki-100.
05:32It's highly maneuverable and armed for every situation thanks to its two 20mm cannons, two 12.7mm machine guns, and two 250kg bombs.
05:44Who will you intimidate this time?
05:46The enemy infantry or your rivals in the sky?
05:49The choice is yours.
05:51We're continuing to refine existing mechanics with greater attention and detail, while also introducing new features many of you have been waiting for.
05:59Possibility to change the nationality of soldiers.
06:02You can now switch between Germans and Italians for the Axis, and between Americans and British for the Allies.
06:09One of the most important parts of our work on improving existing game systems is improving the behavior of AI-controlled soldiers.
06:16With this update, we've tackled many of their most problematic issues.
06:19In particular, we've resolved numerous problems related to bushes, which previously allowed bots to take out enemies that they shouldn't have been able to see.
06:27We've also improved the behavior of AI in a number of ways.
06:30They now navigate better, turn more realistically toward their targets, interact more appropriately to obstacles, and interfere less with your line of fire.
06:38Forest Shadows brings a new mission, new vehicles, new weapons, smarter AI, expanded customization options, and plenty of bug fixes, along with a range of visual improvements.
06:49Make room in your vacation calendars, Commandus.
06:51We can't guarantee the weather, but one thing's for sure, this summer in Enlisted is gonna be hot.
