NiC 5.7.0 update review - 2 New Units, Terrain changes, Late germany, New campaign, Balancing

[@petarvid]

my head went kaboom when i saw the stripes on the canon

[@SDX.FAST_Dev]

It's for accuracy I think

[@DoomGoesBRRR]

@SDX.FAST_Dev its like uhh.. you can call it a self given medal.. like keeping a dogtag of a enemy.. its a trophy bessicaly.

[@Aveanu]

Pretty sure it's like historical as late German officers or Commander give white Stripes to tanks that have kills. (Correct me if im wrong)

[@KingOfOwls23]

I thought its just a cool little cosmetic or a fun fact but it appears that it has actually depth in history wow

[@nubnoobbo]

I really liked 2 range Grunts and riflemen, it would make sense because irl firefights happen all the time at extremely long distances.

[@zapka320]

Also, with a chance, instead of getting a panzer on medium tank +, you might also spawn a panther instead. I think it can happen. Same might go for the tank destroyer or something? Not sure about that, but i think on the late german skin, you can also get different variants of a unit.

[@cakegamesss1448]

I honestly hope the event will be good since it felt like almost every update was just QoL updates and nothing else making the game super dry in terms of content. And speaking of the 2 new units, they are again very neishe, and I thought they got rid of that pin down mechanic, but I guess not, and it feels like commandos are deadly once again instead of being just meat shields (as soon as they add the flamer moral thing, then the commandos will become meat shields again, I swear to God).

[@KingOfOwls23]

That's true, game doesn't feel very rewarding once you finish main campaign and unlock all units. This has to change as soon as possible or we will stay in stagnation

[@cakegamesss1448]

@ Real, I legitimately managed to even get the guest skin from just playing regularly. And now I look back at the “April fools” week event thing it was genuinely super fun, but I am sad that not a single unit stayed after that update. (Ik they were op but I just wish there was a reward for completing those missions and you would get like a really silly unit that is not op but just is very gimmicky like recon tech)

[@KingOfOwls23]

@@cakegamesss1448 there is very easy to make like community campaigns feel more rewarding. Most of them use own skin made just for the campaign that is fully functional. Why can't we get those?

[@RandomDude35609]

I remember Pthonus (a tester) or someone else I don't quite remember said that we can't get those skins as they are good, therefore if we get those the demand for good skins would grow. Although at least we got late german

[@KingOfOwls23]

That's a stupid reason. its just a cosmetic and free content. I wonder why is nic stuck at 400-600 players (double on updates) for years 🤔

[@klaassochnik8270]

Bruh why they nerfed daily rewards??? This was only one normal way to get gems....

[@SautEmaster3000]

I know right. From 20-15

[@Scober420]

@@SautEmaster3000they gave us like 100 gems from bugfixes and updates. they maybe will revert iteventually

[@so_whatLol]

4:25 i dont think its make sense to make artillery deal less dmg bc its a direct hit to trenches except its meant to be near trench not inside

[@Originalgolden]

Trenches don't irl take much dmg.

[@Deeyoik]

Yay! An update vid, ty man.

[@Lolzyeets]

Transfer unit is also on mobile but it's so freaking buggy, it's the equivalent of moving a iPhone charger into just the right position for it to actually charge

[@Eroxally]

There’s no back button

[@Lolzyeets]

@@Eroxallyu can hold down on a enemy unit to make the transfer button go away

[@АлександрПравдин-э1е]

There are also some new visuals like new cursive (which i hate) and flash when firing machine gun or rifle caliber

[@KingOfOwls23]

I think its a bug honestly with machine guns, it looks so bad

[@MichałKoguciuk-i9f]

Tbh I like new units but I feel like Missile Heli is nerfed a lot, 2 turns cooldown after shooting one rocket and 1 turn cooldown after u move it make it extremely unreliable sometimes, its mostly usefull to be placed at one spot working as pure long range support behind defense line sometime going on offence for short time if needed. I feel like they should either give it more fuel or reduce firing cooldowns. Ammo supplying nerf for Heavy guns is also stupid, makes people stop using hotwizers/Heavy CW tanks even more. Tbh Heavy CW is big letdown, 240 tix, technically a indestructible bunker but in practice its morale deplets insanely fast wchich makes it surrender very quickly. I hope they will add more meaningfull units to the game cause ngl now theres nothing to grind for. Also maybe its only me but I would love if they added 1 more slot into deck for ground units lol. Anyway great vid bro 👍

[@KingOfOwls23]

Thanks, I feel the same. After finishing the game campaign and getting all units there's nothing rewarding anymore, I discussed it more in depth in other comments. This is the reason why many of my friends quit the game. I'm here for 3 years and game is mostly fun for me only because I can create unique content for yall now even tho support to my channel through years of uploading from main developers is basically 0 which makes it harder to create stuff. I'm hoping that soon we get new kind of unlockables or awards to grind (or even play for at this point) for.

[@MichałKoguciuk-i9f]

@KingOfOwls23 Im still waiting for recon car/APC variations from test server cause they are definetly needed in my deck, also idk why but I Always lack 1 slot to make perfect deck XD

[@EradicatorMKll]

Devs trying to not nerf daily rewards on every update for no reason challenge (impossible)

[@KingOfOwls23]

Huh? Its the first time ever

5:26 correction, it's 2, what you saying about 3 ammo was before the overhaul of the mobile howitzer (which is ability to move and shoot at the same turn and mg)

[@KingOfOwls23]

Anyway its 4 now.

[@morizfgteevfansroblox5690]

@KingOfOwls23 Yep yep, now they don't need to refuel as much but it costs plenty to resupply

As a german i can approve those skins are very german :D

The WWi Campaign is pretty dark with it's ending cutscene at the last mission.

[@jhoangloria1739]

Late germany means germany after ww2 right or does it mean something else?

[@simonefrancescato1957]

Btw if you wanna know they added the alpin thing on italians helemet, which it makes more cool and historicaly accurate but... I hope they fix the rocket battery animaztion,, fr 2:21

I reported that myself to the dev. He reacted with 👍so expect it to be fixed... soon... maybe...

[@CrimsonAxis]

Pretty funny that IFV doesnt have an amphibious perk

[@EdyAlbertoMSGT3]

I think only the Soviets really cared about amphibious IFV's, a Bradley, a Warrior or a Marder would sink to the bottom

[@YimingSun-fs2ut]

Why can’t I access the exchange?

[@VivoYsavee]

Very good🎉🎉

[@meepmerp6935]

I feel like this is not a very meaningful update. The new units are lackluster at best, the new pin mechanic only further encourages grunt spam, and the artillery change just makes people using them play even more passively. The Qol and terrain changes are very nice, but terrain is not implemented in most base PVP maps and QOL stuff is nothing more than, well, Quality of life. I hope they further improve the supress mechanic as I do think it couls be a good step in the right direction, but currently the only way to reliablly supress units without Grunt spam is artillery or light gunner. I would love to see tanks with supressive fire-based attacks or even a tank with a 2 range ambush Mg to prevent it from being rpg'd

[@meepmerp6935]

Additionally, new pin mechanic makes Commandos way too weak. 2 grunts can basically immobilize a commando now

[@KingOfOwls23]

Dev in official update log admitted its not a big update, even called it a bug fix update while it changes way more stuff than expected its not much of a new things but rather improved .

[@meepmerp6935]

@ Just wish instead of doing a little bit of everythig they would solely revamp an entire aspect of the game, rather than adding some useless/ meaningless additions to pad the update. I would love a total terrain overhall, and the addition of that improved terrain applied to all the maps, or a felly fleshed out morale/ suppression mechanics. But right now I feel like these changes are in their infancy and do not warrant release

[@KingOfOwls23]

@@meepmerp6935 I agree. The last actually meaningful update was 5.0.0 back in July 2023 where we recieved completly refreshed naval system along with experimental campaigns. Ever since then we've been getting little things that over time of 1.5 year changed a lot in the game. However noone of them were gamechangers. However naval is rarely used so if you ask me the last ACTUAL game changing update was 4.3 which added morale system. When was that? October 2022..

[@banhmiungthu9778]

the ships are effected by the suply change too

[@KingOfOwls23]

Its weird. When I checked the ships they weren't affected, then someone just told me they just have changed it and then reverted it again 🤔

[@TürkDehası-z9v]

Need add when shotted with anti tank or high caliber ammos a tank need crew out sign or track heavy damaged signs can be added

[@dasprowhite]

I paused my owls game to be here

What a goat

[@madbarracuda706]

Honestly I’m not a big fan of the new suppression system I wish it stayed the same Edit: i forgot to mention the new annoying dmg system I also wish that stayed the same. But nice vid 👍

[@KingOfOwls23]

not a fan of them too, it looks like a buff to infantry after all

[@РоманРогоза-е7у]

Same, sure our infantry is tougher now, but so is for the enemy

[@Originalgolden]

The suppression system is god awfull. It ruins the pin mechanic in the first place and makes tanks and air absolute.

Tier list when

[@nedenvarm1266]

They added missile heli? Wow... I hope people doesnt use it in PvP to try to ran above AT units. Otherwise it would get nerfed like its brother Rocket Heli...

[@purple_thunder_kk]

that heli is the strongest AT I have ever seen, tank can't hit back, 4 range that can't be blocked by infantry or building... But since ATGM is having the no turret perk and 1 CD, the helicopter can only likely shoot 1 missile every 5 turn Plus no helicopter in PVP is the golden rule

[@ThatRandomGuy4220]

Well, that’s why they added Sam site with a stupidly large range

[@ThatRandomGuy4220]

They’ve been prepping the game for this like for so long

[@ThatRandomGuy4220]

They added radar, Sam and update to anti air

[@KingOfOwls23]

both were never supposed to release. (and they aren't) This bootleg aircraft system with many impractical nonsenses would get completly killed by that.
