Update 1.3.9

Dear Tankers and Mechanics!

today we're releasing another patch with fixes and a few new features.

Situation report

We're part of the Steam Autumn Sale, but the game will be on sale for longer than the Steam event – until 22/10/2026. Our finances are in a very bad state, and this move could save us before the Ponyri DLC is released.

This week, we're releasing an update and continuing the series of patches every two weeks, interspersed with development status updates. Work on Ponyri is ongoing. We've also added optimisation improvements for AI and further sound rework.

We have also added what we wrote in the last development status, i.e. a projector for the zones to be taken over and defended, which is visible on the minimap/battle map and during the game. You can turn it on and off in the game options.

From other news work on Ferdinand is in very advanced state as we will implement it next week to the game, so more in-game progress we will most likely show in upcoming Development Status.
