Today we are releasing the second update for v1.6. With it we bring you further gameplay improvements as well as some new assets for the Russian faction. This includes the 2B14-1 Podnos mortar and 9K135 Kornet ATGM deployables. Along with those new weapons we also introduce a brand new map to the BETA program by community mapper Rabbit called Masirah. A beautiful 4x4km map featuring a large peninsula, you can read the highlight on it here.

Included with the gameplay changes is the ability to see the supply points remaining in supply crates. Supply points were always used to determine if a crate is depleted or not. Now we provide this information to the player as well. We have updated the manual to give you more information on the cost of kits, rearming and others. Read it here.
Another big change is the improvements to the back-up sights. To learn more about these changes and new content in v1.6.2 you can read our highlight here.

This update can now be downloaded through the PR Launcher. Enjoy!

With the new update we are introducing a brand new map developed by community mapper Rabbit. It has a dedicated highlight you can read here to find out all the details.


9K135 Kornet ATGM

The Kornet will finally replace the HJ-8 on the Russian Armed Forces. It features good optics and a powerful ATGM. While the barrel has limited depression, it features an easy to move tripod which allows to adjust the elevation quickly. We tried to replicate this in game, but sadly the result felt clunky and un-intuitive. As such we decided to give the Kornet a higher operational range without moving the tripod. This reasoning got also applied to the HJ-8 which will get a similar...

Hi,

just as a quick note, I have requested cancelling the PR Server license. I will slowly transitioning away from the old virtual machine and server. The website will be preserved in some kind of way, the ts server will stay up so @Fnixer can do his annually Arma3 event as usual.

Stay based,
Clund

We are pleased to announce that a new map will be featured in the next content patch for Project Reality.

Masirah, based on the real life location of the same name, is a map by Rabbit that has been sitting on the bench for a while. Thanks to some free time during lockdown we've been able to bring the map up for inclusion.


Aside from a new locale we're also introducing some new gameplay features. Main bases for both teams are, currently lacking a proper model, a Mistral class lookalike carrier situated outside of the map, similar to Falklands. It will be up to both French and MEC teams to utilise their air and waterborne assets to reach the mainland.

To deal with base protection in outside terrain we've now implemented a Python-based DOD system coded by
[R-DEV]AlonTavor that replaces the vanilla DOD system which otherwise doesn't work in outside terrain. The end result is roughly a 6x4km playable area seen below with adequate base protection for both teams.

Hello guys! As you may know, three of my creations have already made it into the game, Assault on Grozny, Bamyan and Reichswald. Today I would like to present to you my fourth map, which is finally nearing completion.

When I started working on this map back in March of 2015 I had no idea of how much effort it would actually take to finish it. This is by far the most arduous map project I’ve done so far.

Assault on Grozny was a big project that took a long time to complete, but most areas of the map could be built in a unique way which made it more fun. My interest in the Chechen conflict, and my strong will to see a map like Grozny in the game also made it easier, and of course the map was only 2 km.

Bamyan however, is 4 km and quite detailed compared to some other 4 km maps. Although when I made Bamyan, to some degree I followed the same formula as most 4 km maps, i.e. one or two types of terrain texture, and focusing details mostly around a handful of POI’s spread around the map.

My latest map, Reichswald, was actually a side project that I started working on in 2017 after getting tired of working on the map I am presenting today. It is a detailed map but it is only 1 km, so i managed to complete it relatively quickly.

The map I would like to present to you today is called Fields of Kassel. Some of you might have seen a sneak peek here and there, but I guess it’s new to most of you. It is going to...

With the upcoming PR:BF2 1.6.1 update we not only bring a lot of additional bug fixes for the recent v1.6 launch, but also included a couple of bigger gameplay changes. This highlight will give you more perspective and details about these upcoming changes.

Changes to stamina
When getting revived you usually get the black & white bleed effect to disable instant sprinting away. This effect could be avoided by putting a field dressing on the body before reviving. In order to prevent just revived soldier from sprinting away, you will now get revived with 0% stamina.

In addition to the above changes we also reduce the available stamina while bleeding. If you go below 60% HP the time you will be able to sprint will be proportional to your current HP. Once you reach 10% HP and go into the black&white effect, your current stamina will be set to 0% just like after a revive. The time to refill your stamina always stays the same. With this wounded soldiers will be unable to travel as fast as healthy ones.

Some numbers:

• Normal sprint time: 30s
• Normal refill time: 30s
• 50% HP sprint time: ~25s
• 50% HP refill time: 30s

Changes to UAV
Currently the commander gets to stare at a black screen until the UAV finally arrives at its location. With this all the information it could have gathered while...
