changedBAILLEUL, APRIL 1918Set during the Battle of Lys, Bailleul is an urban map loosely based on the fighting for the town with the same name that occurred on April 13-15, 1918. British defenders are tasked with defending the town from attacking Germans. You can expect fights happening in claustrophobic alleyways, interiors and chokepoints, but it’s also worth keeping an eye out for machine gunners and snipers covering important sightlines throughout the map.

THE ENDGAME

As the name suggests, this is the last content update we are releasing for the mod. This does not mean support is ending completely - potential bugfixes might be necessary, and there are still small pieces of content we simply could not finish in time for Endgame.

CHANGELOG AND HIGHLIGHTS

The full changelog for the update can be found by clicking the link below. What follows are some important highlights from the changelog.

FULL CHANGELOG

BAILLEUL, APRIL 1918

Set during the Battle of Lys, Bailleul is an urban map loosely based on the fighting for the town with the same name that occurred on April 13-15, 1918. British defenders are tasked with defending the town from attacking Germans. You can expect fights happening in claustrophobic alleyways, interiors and chokepoints, but it’s also worth keeping an eye out for machine gunners and snipers covering important sightlines throughout the map.

It supports the Invasion, Offensive, Liberation, Frontline, Stronghold, Entrenchment and Raid game modes.

We’d like to give a huge thanks to Radu Tanasie for making this map happen.

NEW CLASS - THE SENTRY

A new defensive class with weaponry suited for holding key points and having an assisting role during assaults. The class has access to bolt-action rifles, body armour and dangerous defensive shrapnel grenades.

The class is the only one able to deploy a multi-use first aid kit for helping out wounded teammates. Press the deployable key to place a first aid kit, and your use key to gather some health. A first aid kit will heal you for 50HP and has 5 uses. It will disappear when it’s been used up by teammates or yourself.

NEW WEAPONRY AND GEAR

A small selection of new weaponry and gear.

The update contains a large amount of new weaponry - from the famous Canadian Ross rifle, to the brutal looking Dudley push dagger. Oddities like the British Pritchard-Greener bayonet for the Webley revolver and the German M13/15 Poppenberg impact grenade also make an appearence. Usable trench whistles for officers are also included - and there’s still more.

NEW UNITS

With the update we’ve also made use of the unit system from vanilla Day of Infamy. You will be able to play as several new units on battlefields where they took part in real life fighting. The German Jägers with their distinct shako headwear are included, as well as the British 19th (Western) Division sporting pink butterfly markings
