As a heads up for those who already installed the beta. Until just now the beta was using the live games Config files. To address this problem please do the following (we are updating this in the beta but for those who already ran it you will need to do this by hand or delete your config files).
Navigate to your Rising Storm Beta install directory and drill into ROGame/Config. It should look something like this: D:\SteamLibrary\SteamApps\common\Rising Storm Beta\ROGame\Config. Once there open up the DefaultEngine.ini file and search for the following section:
[Windows.StandardUser]
MyDocumentsSubDirName=
And make it look like this:
[Windows.StandardUser]
MyDocumentsSubDirName=Rising Storm Beta
Then save the folder. The next time you launch the game it should use the right directory.

For the next test we will test an existing combined arms map to see how changes to the Anti-Tank rifles play out as well as making sure players have a chance to play with the MG-42. Expect this to happen early next week.

PZB seems to be less powerfull from what I can tell. Have to hit specific spots for PIII side penetrations etc.

We've made some changes to the values of the weapons and how they penetrate certain types of armor (and hardness values) as well as lowering the amount of damage they do. The Russians can also no longer spawn with the pzb.
We were testing those changes in today's playtest to see if they worked out well, and they seemed to. But we still need to test them against teams that have the heavier tanks over the light tanks (or a mix) and see if those changes have adverse effects to that.

I wondered if it meant that. It's been my bad luck to spawn Axis tank on Pavlov's against Russian AT Heroes, and that's when I thought it could use a change...

in all fairness, it will make myshkova less of a grief-fest when in the tank
from that tanks video, it looked like there was now an sub-limitation for what vehicles you could take to the battle (ie only a couple tankers could take the t-34 and the rest of the pubbies had to make-do with the t-70). Would this be extendable to other roles? It might be nice/useful to limit eg the number of mg42s (or ppsh-es) on the team for some balance fine-tuning

I hope the balance of the AT rifles has been tweaked to make them equal then?
Otherwise you have created yet another Axis favoured weapon and class, and given another reason for veterans to stack Axis, further imbalancing the game.
Please consider overall game balance for this release. Nothing kills player retention like imbalance.

Well remember the T34 has better armor than the PZIV, so making the Pzb better than the PTRS is balance.
