All Grand Battlefield maps now support the US Army faction! Players can freely choose to fight as the US Army.
New Weapons and Equipment
18 new US light weapons, 15 vehicles, 7 heavy equipment, and 2 ground-attack aircraft.
2 new ground-attack aircraft for the Soviet Army.
2 new ground-attack aircraft and 1 new vehicle for the German Army.
New Weapon Mechanics
Convertible vehicles added: These vehicles have greater firepower and mobility but feature weaker armor, making them more vulnerable to HE and incendiary damage.
Controllable ground-attack aircraft: After purchase in Grand Battlefield mode, you can personally pilot these aircraft to devastate ground targets. Currently, ground-attack planes are only available as support rewards, have limited ammo, and cannot be countered by enemies. In campaign mode, attack aircraft remain AI-controlled and cannot be piloted by players.
Shotgun category added: Now available as a late-game primary weapon for US assault troops, offering powerful close-range firepower.
