New War Story: The Last Tiger
A fresh single-player War Story is added to Battlefield V with the update. This is The Last
Tiger.
The Rhine-Ruhr region, Spring 1945. The vast Twelfth US Army Group presses the borders
of Germany. German lines are in disarray; units are broken, separated, and poorly supplied.
In this setting, you’ll join the German crew of Tiger number 237 – “Stefan” – as it operates a
near-indestructible Tiger I tank in an unwinnable battle on the borders of their fatherland. As
with our other War Stories, this one is presented in its native language of the crew - German.
The Last Tiger gameplay is built around tank combat in an urban environment. This is a
setting where managing sight lines and tank facing are key, as you can turn a street corner
and suddenly find yourself in a completely different combat scenario. Hit enemy vehicles
where they're most vulnerable while keeping the front of your vehicle facing them for
maximum protection.
Few enemies can survive the Tiger’s bite, an 88mm cannon that destroys most allied tanks
with a single shot. But is that enough? The US army pushes in with vast numbers of Sherman
tanks, artillery, and a host of infantry under the cover of tank-busting air superiority.
Meanwhile, your orders are to advance and meet them.
New Multiplayer Map: Panzerstorm
Take part in the first major tank battle of the war, larger than any that came before. In the first
few days of the Battle of Belgium, Axis armor steamed ahead of infantry forces into Hannut,
clashing with Allied tanks in the rolling hills and farmland of the Belgian countryside.
Now, tank husks litter the landscape of the once beautiful surroundings as the second wave
begins. Scarred and singed, the landscape tells a horrific story of a battle that is far from over.
Wind your way through muddy trenches and shallow rivers to fortify key positions. Utilize the
Supply Stations built around the forested cabin and gain an advantage by taking the high
ground farms.
Stand your ground and brace yourself from the relentless incoming armor attacks.
Map Intent
Our latest experience focuses on the tanker crew fantasy by offering vehicle-centric gameplay
with light infantry support roles. Strategy and communication are key between squad mates in
order to create the ultimate tanker crew. Fortifications, repairs, and Supply Stations scattered
across the map become crucial to the survival of your vehicle.
Roll across a huge Battlefield map with a massive force of armor, carving a path of
destruction through the countryside.
Practice Range
In our newly added Practice Range, you’ll be able to get familiar with various weapons and
vehicles that Battlefield V has to offer.
You can join the Practice Range either alone to test your skills or with your squad to practice
and have fun together. The activities differ a bit depending on if you’re playing alone or with
friends, so make sure to try out both!
In the Practice Range you’ll be able to:
• Explore the base class weapons offered and find your favorite, learn their spray
patterns and practice aiming, flicking, and turning accuracy.
• Practice flying a fighter or a bomber and take out enemy planes or bomb targets.
Top Issue Fixes and Changes
• Fixed a bug where weapons would stay locked even if the player had reached the
required level to obtain them.
• Improvements for the issue involving infinite loading screens. Should be drastically
reduced with this update.
• Fixed an issue where vehicle passenger gunner turret animations would not align with
where the player was aiming.
• Players no longer get into a soft hang when viewing assignments in-game.
• Made tweaks to the Conquest Soft Catch-up mechanics. The catch-up will now only
be activated when the losing team is very far behind instead of rounds that are fairly
close. We think that this will make matches more fair in general, while at the same
time making the matches a bit more exciting if the skill gap between the teams is too
big.
• We are adjusting the amount of ammunition given to airplane forward firing machine
guns and cannons. With fast resupply we feel like we can reduce the ammo in each
weapon so attrition becomes a factor over a long period of flying. This also allows us
to use ammo load as a balancing mechanic for some weapons like the 8x LMGs on
the Spitfire or the explosive cannon rounds on the BF109.
• Airplane Zooming in 1P will now give 2.5x zoom, allowing for superior scouting of the
battlefield and aiming at long range or small targets. This should help planes like
fighters from be more connected to the ground combat.
• A reduction to the damage airplane parts take from LMGs and a buff to the health of
the engine of airplanes means that dogfights should no longer be determined by an
almost guaranteed part disable. Players will have to focus fire on parts to get disables,
or they will need to equip higher caliber, but lower rate of fire weapons to do effective
part damage. This should deepen the experience in dogfighting and plane
customization.
• The Stuka 37mm cannons have been adjusted to be more effective in direct fire
against vehicles and less effective in splash against infantry. This brings them more in
line with their original intent. Additionally a delay on dropping bombs that was unique
to the Stuka has been cut from 0.3 sec to 0.1 sec (there’s an arm on this bomber that
swings down to drop the bomb, we sped that up).This should make bombing from the
Stuka more accurate.
• The 8x MG specialization on the Spitfire has a new overheat behavior. These
weapons offer great burst damage, but begin to overheat quickly, with their rate of fire
dropping substantially in sustained fire.
• The BF109's Minengeschoss has seen a rebalance towards its intended role. The
weapon now performs similarly to a single default cannon against fighters, but has
seen a damage reduction against bombers. It retains an effective splash damage
against infantry, though at a lower damage rate than previously. Combined with the
increased 1P zoom, BF109s with this round should be able to make targeted strafing
passes on single targets, but no longer be able to sweep an area of multiple targets.
• AA tanks were too vulnerable when engaging infantry, making them an unattractive
vehicle when aircraft were not active. Reduced the damage AA tanks take to their
turret to be better in line with side hits in order to make them more survivable. Their
damage against infantry has also been slightly increased.
• Tweaked the JU-88 bomber to only carry one 1,000kg bomb and reduced the rate of
fire when dropping the 16x50kg bombs. This ensures that the bombs have a larger
spread when hitting the ground.
• Changed the Stuka damage model to be closer to bombers, to improve its intended
ground attack role.
• Players occupying top gunner positions in land vehicles are now able to duck down
and become somewhat protected from incoming shots. While ducking, top gunners
are still able “blind-fire” the machine gun.
• The automatic spawn when round starts will be disabled in all game modes (except
Final Stand). This change has been made to not force spawn players that temporary
went "afk" during round transition and are not back in their seats at start.
• The icon above the bomb carriers in Airborne and Frontlines will no longer be visible.
We've decided this based on community feedback. Note that the icon will still be
visible for a brief moment on pickup as it is mentioned by audio.
• Panzerfausts are now designed to be simple ranged damage against tanks, and have
been adjusted to have less spikey damage. The previous damage model relied heavily
on the angle of attack, which played against infantry since infantry rarely can pick their
angle of attack against tanks. Poor hits could gravely punish the shooter with as low
as just 5 damage for a hit. The new model has reduced the maximum damage output
of the projectile, especially against the rear of tanks, however it now guarantees far
better damage for poor hits, around 2-3x more damage. For example, the previous
poor hit that would give just 5 damage will now give 15 damage. In addition,
Panzerfausts are now extremely potent against the parts of the tank, meaning that
they will more easily disable turrets, tracks, and engines and give the attacking infantry
a boost in fighting the vehicle. Note that a part disable is not guaranteed with a hit.
Overall, the maximum damage of the Panzerfaust is going to drop. In all normal cases
the Panzerfaust will take more hits to kill all tanks, making tanks more survivable.
We've dropped the damage from nearly 50 to the side of a medium tank to around 25.
From the rear you used to be able to 2 shot the tank, now it's at least 3 hits.
• Angled damage is now better exposed to players, with a critical hit (headshot)
hitmarkers playing whenever a player makes a hit at an optimal angle or against a
weak part like a turret.
•
Increased the direct hit damage of Stationary and Half Track mounted AT guns.
Being exposed in these guns is a heavy disadvantage, and a higher amount of
damage against tanks is required to balance the risk and reward.
• LMGs and Soldier Guns have been doing more damage to airplanes than intended.
We have reduced the damage of soldier weapons against airplanes, so that they’re a
threat to - but not a killer of - airplanes.
• The first version of Vehicle Customization is rolling out for all players, with skins for
tanks as well as skins and nose art for airplanes. More to come in the future!
• Reworked the Panzerfaust to be less effective on rear shots on vehicles. Armor angle
on vehicles now matter less, and the Panzerfaust now deals a more consistent
amount of damage to vehicles. Panzerfausts also deal more systemic part damage,
allowing them to be used more tactically, taking out engines, tracks and turrets, etc.
Soldier Fixes and Tweaks
• Fixed an issue where the third-person soldier animations would not properly function
when going into the wounded state and result into soldiers weirdly snapping.
• Ragdolls no longer have strange movement after being dead for a certain amount of
time.
• Fixed an issue where the soldiers would be getting an input delay (stuck in place)
after the revive was completed. This change should improve the responsiveness of
revives for both the reviver and the revivee.
• Aiming down sight (ADS) and moving on uneven terrain at the same time no longer
kicks the player out of ADS (more specifically when using the "Custom Stock"
Specialization).
• Added procedural face animations for voice overs.
• Improved the soldiers’ left hand animations when reloading side arms while coming
out of a crouched position.
• The Tanker class is no longer able to build Fortifications faster than the Support
class.
• Fixed an issue where the soldiers would move up and down slowly while down on
uneven terrain.
• Fixed an issue where players would get pushed by teammates when going prone.
• Fixed an issue where soldiers could fall through the ground if they got revived.
• Fixed a legacy and common issue where soldier jumps could get interrupted when
trying to jump over obstacles (sometimes very small).
• Made various vault detection improvements on more complex assets such as rocks.
• Fixed an issue where reloading would be interrupted when vaulting through a window
while the reload animation still played.
• Reduced stand-to-prone firing and aiming restriction by 100ms to match the soldier
animations when transitioning from stand to prone.
• Fixed an issue where aiming would be slowed down and limited after getting revived.
• Fixed an issue where sliding could be triggered with a single press instead of a
double-tap.
• Tweaked the sliding animation in first person to match the duration of the sliding in
third person more accurately.
•
Vehicles
When using the Danger Ping feature in a vehicle, all other occupants of the vehicle
will now see the ping as if they were in your squad.
• Fixed the rain weathering effects on the Spitfire.
• Changed airplane damage effects to better visually represent both the health of the
airplane and engine systemic damage.
• Added tire trails from the wheels of the Staghound T17E1.
• Removed an exploit where tanks could fire shells faster than intended.
• Players are now able to repair disabled parts of a tank from the outside, even if the
tank is at full health.
• Fixed an issue when a player would “Jeep Stuff” the Universal Carrier from behind
and it would not take any damage.
• Corrected the firing sounds on the Stuka B-2.
• Fixed an issue where players were unable to exit the stationary PAK40 and 6
Pounder by moving backwards.
• Fixed an issue where anti-tank half-track vehicles had over-sensitive aiming.
• Fixed the launch velocity of tank flare launchers to make the flares shoot further and
higher, increasing the area in which they spot and making them more useful.
• Decreased the heat threshold for the top grenade launcher on the Sturmtiger. After
overheating, the grenade launcher now needs to cool down completely before it can
be fired again.
• Increased the launch velocity of the top grenade launcher on the Sturmtiger, for
increased range.
• Added reload time to bombs and rockets, after planes re-supply, so that they’re not
instantly available after a resupply.
• Refactored flak to deal more consistent damage vs. large planes, and slightly less vs.
smaller planes.
• Moved aircraft resupply points further away from the infantry combat areas on most
maps, to make Attrition a bigger factor for bomber planes.
• Reduced the explosion radius of the GR21 rockets on the BF-109, to reduce its
effectiveness against ground targets.
• Reduced the damage of GR21 and RP-3 rockets on the BF-109 and Spitfire vs.
medium and heavy tanks.
• Changed the Stuka damage model to be closer to bombers, to improve its
survivability vs. most forms of damage, and strengthen its intended ground attack
role.
• Reduced the number of light bombs carried by the Ju-88 A to 16 and also reduced
the rate at which they drop from the plane.
• Reduced the number of 1,000kg bombs carried by the Ju088A from 2 to 1.
• Fixed an issue preventing wheel systemic damage to the Staghound T17E1 from
explosions.
• Changed crosshair in third person when using bombs on Spitfire and Bf-109 planes.
• Fixed the Flakpanzer IV Zimmerit Specialization which wasn’t functioning
properly.
• Fixed the Panzer IV Zimmerit Specialization which wasn’t properly visible on the
exterior of the tank.
• Fixed some issues with the third person FOV setting on vehicles.
• Fixed issues with the tank Field Repair Specialization not repairing turret damage
consistently.
•
• Changed the MCLC Specialization on British tanks from a weapon slot to fire when
pressing the equipment 3 button instead.
• Fixed that the Staghound T17E1 didn’t consistently explode immediately when
destroyed.
• Fixed some vehicle overlay diagrams that showed incorrect layouts.
• Fixed that the Valentine Mk1 AA Specializations Field Repair and Emergency Repair
had swapped functionality.
• Fixed strange behaviors when vehicles had towable weapons hitched.
Fixed some airplane Specialization trees that had incorrectly accessible paths.
• Lowered the health of stationary weapons.
• When using the Spotting Scope specialization in light tanks, a sound is now played
when an enemy is spotted.
• Greatly reduced damage of aircraft light bombs vs. tanks.
• Increased the direct hit damage of Stationary and Half Track mounted AT guns.
Being exposed in these guns is a heavy disadvantage, and a higher amount of
damage against tanks is required to balance the risk and reward.
• Changed the vehicle “Critical Hit” indicator (the orange hit indicator shown when you
cause damage to a vehicle) to more consistently display when causing damage at
good angles to tank armor.
• Fixed an issue with airplanes sometimes not exploding properly when crashing.
• The wingtips on the Spitfire MkVb now properly become “clipped” when using the
Improved Control Surfaces Specialization.
• Fixed an issue occasionally causing damage to tanks to incorrectly cause engine
damage that couldn’t be repaired.
• Added a reload animation when using stationary and towable AT weapons.
• Fixed an issue preventing squad spawning on the Blenheim airplanes.
• Fixed an issue causing the Churchill Gun Carrier zoom view to be incorrectly offset
from the weapon position.
• Fixed an issue causing some towable weapons to unspawn while being used or
towed.
• Fixed an issue when spawning into vehicle gunner positions that caused the weapon
to appear disconnected from the player.
• Fixed an issue causing an empty third weapon slot to be available on some tanks.
Weapons and Gadgets
• Added a confirmation sound when successfully spotting with the Binoculars.
• Smoke Grenade Launcher now properly blocks spotting (including from suppression).
• The M30 Drilling reload animation should now always play when reloading.
• Added the Predator and Urban Blue customizations for the M1897.

• Customized vehicles, and not the default setup, are now shown in the progression
hub instead.
• The character is now facing the camera when applying facepaints.
• Fixed an issue where the Company in the Frontend could show corrupted graphics in
some cases.
• Players should no longer see artifacts on the Company in the main menu.
• Alpha and Beta Dog Tags should now be properly unlocked for players that earned
them.
• Players can now properly see the number of players in a friend’s squad in the social
hub.

• The game doesn’t switch to default button mappings while the soldier is dead (death
experience and deploy screens) anymore.
• Fixed an issue where the social widget was overlapping on the end of round screen.
• Iron sights zoom level now properly shows as 1.5x instead of 1x.
•
Options
Aiming:
• Implemented Uniform Aiming for vehicles (adjustable via the Advanced Control
Options screen).

mouse and stick aiming (adjustable via the Advanced Control Options screen).
• Made controller stick input curve and aim speed tweaks for vehicle aiming.
• Added Options for setting custom colors and glow on the Reflex/Nydar sights and
colors for Lattey sights.
War Stories
• The Freedom Star medal is now properly awarded once players collect all 40 Letters.
The Distinguished Intelligence Service medal is now properly awarded once players
collect all 40 Letters.
• Improved the transition to gameplay on the Prologue when playing in 4K.
• Improved the ragdolls behavior during the Prologue mission. Spectator
• Using the “Invert Vertical Look” option no longer causes the controller to lose
functionality.
• The top gunner in the Panzer IV now appears in the correct position.
• Fixed stuttering when spectating the Blenheim Mk IF.
• Made various text fixes.
• Added Camera Sway options to the Camera tab in the Spectator Options. These
options can be used with the director and free cameras. o Enable Camera Sway -
turn on/off camera sway. o Camera Sway Duration - how long it takes the camera
to sway to the selected angle.
o Camera Sway Angle - how far the camera can sway from the center.
• Added a Look at Camera to Free Camera mode. When in the Free Camera mode,
this can be turned using the "Look at Player" option in the Camera tab of the
Spectator Options or via the input specified on the icon on the bottom right of the UI.
When enabled, this will cause the free camera to automatically rotate and "look at"
the selected player. The camera can still be moved by the user when this is on and
will orbit around that player. The camera can also be rotated manually via input and
when any rotation input stops; the camera will smoothly rotate back to looking at the
selected player.
Stability
• Fixed a crash that could occur when changing the soldiers’ appearances.
• Many other stability improvements
PC Specific Improvements
• When running VOIP at higher volumes the signal is no longer distorted.
• Fixed an issue where quick keyboard taps would get missed if both press and release
happened in the same update tick.
• Controller stick and keyboard arrows now work properly when navigating the
Calibration screen.
•
• Made TAA (Temporal Anti-Aliasing) improvements: fixed broken motion vectors,
which reduces blurriness on vegetation.
• Origin friends presence is correctly updated for newly added friends.
• The push-to-talk button now only activates that functionality and does not interfere
with other in-game systems.
• The social hub no longer closes down if you invite a friend to your squad.
• Squad leaders are now able to leave and create new squads.
• Squad members are now able to invite other players into their squad if the previous
squad leader leaves.
• If the player cancels during matchmaking, the game will no longer be stuck in a
cancelling state.
• Added Smooth Rotation option to the Camera tab in the Spectator Options. Smooth
Rotation is an alternate control method for rotating the director and free cameras
when using a mouse. When the right mouse button is held down, moving the mouse
further in the desired direction will cause the camera to move faster. Stopping mouse
movement while the right mouse button is held down will maintain the current speed.
Setting Smooth Rotation to On will allow the camera to have much smoother rotation
movement while using the mouse compared to the default rotation
movement(Smooth Rotation Off). This can be used with the director and free
cameras.
Button Mapping
• PC: players can now use the keyboard arrow keys for aiming too (both soldier and
vehicles) and shooting (Spacebar for vehicles, Right Ctrl for soldier).
• Fixed an issue where binding keyboard buttons on aim/look actions had extremely
high sensitivity.
• Fixed an issue with the options screens sometimes showing incorrect option
descriptions when hovering with the mouse.
RTX (DXR Ray Tracing)
• Made stability improvements while running the game with DXR Ray Tracing on.
• Improved performance of several components of the ray tracing implementation.
• Improved ray tracing performance against foliage and vegetation.
• Using frame buffer data, where applicable, to increase overall ray tracing quality.
• Removed inactive geometry from ray traced scenes.
• Fixed medium quality setting not applying correctly.
PlayStation® 4 Specific Improvements
• If the player loses connection to EA Online it should now be easier to reconnect if the
servers are available.
• Optimized how the game loads the Company when booting up the game. It should no
longer be displayed prior the finishing of loading in the textures.
• Fixed an issue with the first selection in the initial Audio Calibration screen.
• Fixed a problem with controller sticks having no functionality in the initial Audio
Calibration screen.
Xbox One Specific Improvements
• Improved gameplay support for the Xbox One Chatpad attachment – the button
detection was not consistent before and the player had to press the key multiple
times for the action to register.
• Fixed an issue with the first selection in the initial Audio Calibration screen requiring
two button presses.
• Fixed a problem with controller sticks having no functionality in the initial Audio
Calibration screen.
• Fixed the processing of Shift (soldier sprint) and Ctrl (soldier crouch hold) keys on the
Xbox One keyboard.
