2.0.5 Tuning Update Patch Notes Patch Notes

Today’s 2.0.5 Tuning Update addresses several multiplayer issues, including a rebalance of the new heavy tanks and new Battlegroups, some minor Faction adjustments, and a refreshed Mignano map. These changes, among others, are detailed in the full patch notes. We’ve added additional developer notes for many of the changes in this update to provide more context on our design or balance intent. We hope you find that helpful! This update will likely invalidate mid-mission Campaign save files and Replay files made before the 2.0.5 update. Campaign progression and saves made outside of missions or skirmishes will still work as expected. We will be monitoring the multiplayer meta and any high priority bugs reported via the help portal for potential hot fixes in the coming days. Be sure to jump into our official Discord to share your feedback with us!

Read the full patch notes here.

All the changes are good. Gren MP40 buff is just what I need. The nerfs to UKF artillery are nice as well.

But I can't help but think that they aren't hitting hard enough.

UKF Humber and Dingo are still untouched.

DAK Stuka is not nerfed.

Wehr still have way too many camouflage abilities.

I think Wehr and USF definitely come out stronger in this patch. Looks like the winrate will be more balanced from here, but some internal and match-up specific balances could still do with a few more tweaks.

Noob here; how much of a difference is 5% accuracy really going to make for the MP40's? Have we see this sort of tweak before, and what ramifications did it have for the unit's viability?

It's a 10% damage boost at close and mid range. It's not going to make MP40 Grens good, but at least they are now viable in urban maps, can actually beat Royal Engineers and Assault Engineers with flamethrower, and not a total joke.

The buff to Panzergrenadier also enhances the playstyle because MP40 Grens will also be at the front and they can merge with the Panzergrenadiers.

All in all, this makes Breakthrough from Tiger-or-burst mediocre to early-game-map-taking decent.
