We increased the upper limit of army labels and unit sprites that can be displayed at the same time. Especially on big maps in late game scenarios this limit was reached often, causing armies to stay hidden from the player’s view. Now the upper limit is calculated dynamically, depending on the size of the map and device used.
Further we fixed an issue with garrisoned units. When a garrisoned unit was in an active state, such as attacking or converting, its garrison strength wasn’t properly applied to the province’s uprising chance. Finally, we fixed a formatting issue in Newspaper articles written over multiple lines. Now, texts will be formatted appropriately across separate lines or sentences as you'd expect.

The Flame Tank Arrived
Attention, General!
The new Flame Tank has arrived on the battlefield! A formidable opponent, it excels at storming fortifications and wiping out unarmored opponents. With the Flame Tank we are also introducing a new way to deploy units on the battlefield. Starting today you’ll be able to collect Unit Cards by completing Operations. Unit Cards allow you to deploy units directly from your Inventory. Both the Flame Tank and other Unit Cards can be deployed in already existing game rounds. Please note that due to a bug the Flame Tank-related stats will not be displayed on the player profile with this release.
https://youtu.be/FtOAIxT0e0Y
To make collecting the new Unit Cards as enjoyable as possible we’ve added a brand new set of Operations. These new missions can be completed simply by playing the game. The game will automatically keep track of your progress. To see the goals or collect rewards head to the Operations window.
And if you want to learn more about the Flame Tank, Unit Cards and the new Operations make sure to tune in to our livestream on October 7th, starting at 3:00 pm UTC. We’ll be playing a flaming hot 144x speedround, broadcasted LIVE on the official Bytro Youtube and Twitch channels. See you there!

Get Ready for the Flame Tank!
Attention, General!
Clad in heavy armor, a new opponent approaches! Based on the historical Churchill Crocodile, this fearsome foe excels at storming fortified positions and fighting unarmored opponents.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v9nNoS7e9Wk
This tank can take a beating and still push forward. Its front-mounted flamethrower disregards the protective embrace of fortifications and unleashes devastating hellfire upon unarmored foes and buildings. This makes the Flame Tank the ultimate weapon for breaching enemy defensive lines. But be careful when deploying your Flame Tank, it is weak against heavy armored units and air attacks. So make sure to give the newest addition to your arsenal adequate protection!
The Churchill Crocodile variant will be available for allied doctrine players. All non-allied doctrines will have access to captured variants. Do not worry, they are just as lethal as the original and come with the same capabilities and stats!
New Deployment Mechanic
The Flame Tank also comes with a new deployment mechanic. It can not be researched and produced like a traditional unit, but instead will be deployed via new Unit Cards from your inventory. Unit Cards will be available as a reward for advancing through Operations. Besides the new Flame Tank, participating in Operations will also reward you with other units already existing in Call of War. For balancing reasons, deployment of units from Unit Cards come with a set of rules:

Attention, Generals!
Time flies, as they say! Just like the fighters and bombers these days. The Germans are rearming, the Russians are on the move and the Royal Navy is on high alert! It looks like we are only hours away until war breaks out in Europe once again.
Mobilize your troops and prepare yourself for whatever enemy you may face! “Rush for Europe” is a special event map that runs at breathtaking 6 times the speed of normal game rounds! Even the tiniest decision could have severe consequences at this pace. Experience the war for Europe in a way you have never seen it before!

Release Notes - 2023-09-19
Attention, General!
In today’s update we addressed a number of bugs. Large army stacks will no longer have their HP value hidden behind the coalition flag in the army bar. Also, we fixed a bug that caused promotional pop-ups to appear more often than intended.
We've also fixed a bug where converting units outside of a province would cause issues. Now, the "Convert" button will be hidden once a moving command is issued to a convertible unit and conversion won't be allowed if the unit isn't in a conversion area.
Last but not least, we've fixed a problem where the settings drop-down menu wouldn't close when clicked again. Now, it will properly close when you click on it a second time.
