The "Guerrilla Warfare" update, in addition to visual improvements, unique mechanics and a new soldier class, will also bring a multitude of fascinating new weapons and vehicles for all countries. It's time to take a closer look at them!

[h1]2nd Parachute Regiment with Beretta M38 (Germany, BR I)[/h1]
Let's start with a new premium squad - paratroopers of the Ramcke Parachute Brigade will join the German army!
This squad, deployed to North Africa, is armed with an Italian submachine gun featuring a bayonet and a 20-round magazine. In terms of characteristics, it is quite similar to the Beretta M38A from the research tree - low recoil and a fire rate of 690 rounds per minute. These paratroopers will fit perfectly into your squad lineup for low BR.
[h1]USSR[/h1]

[h3]KV-2 (1939) (BR IV)[/h3]
This legend needs no introduction - the Kliment Voroshilov tank with the 152-mm howitzer will now be available in the research tree!
Reload time is not its strength, but the 5 kilograms of explosives in its shells can destroy any tank with a well placed shot.
Unlike the 1940 modification (available with a premium tanker squad for Gold), this tank doesn't have a coaxial machine gun in its turret.

[h3]PPSh-41 "Obrez" (BR III)[/h3]
For guerrillas, the main disadvantages of the PPSh-41 were its size and weight. Replacing the drum magazine with a curved box magazine only partially solved the problem. Drastic measures had to be taken: to be able to carry it concealed, the submachine gun was stripped of its stock, and the barrel and its shroud were significantly shortened.
Along with this weapon you will also unlock a Soviet squad with soldiers of the new Guerrilla class.
[h1]USA[/h1]

[h3]A-20G-25-М8 (BR IV)[/h3]
This widely used modification of the multi-purpose aircraft carries 12 M8 rockets, which are lethal to infantry, instead of the 500-pound bombs.
Additionally, you will have six 12.7 mm Browning M2 machine guns at your disposal, just like on the bomber version.
In the past, this aircraft was available in Tunisia. Now it's time for it to fly over other battlefields as well!

[h3]Ithaca 37 (BR II)[/h3]
A well-known American pump-action shotgun with a 7-round tubular magazine, renowned for its simplicity and reliability, which was actively used by the Allies in the battles of the Pacific War.
In its class, it is on par with its analogues - equally effective at close range and for clearing rooms.
Along with this weapon you will also unlock an Australian squad with soldiers of the new Guerrilla class.
[h1]Germany[/h1]

[h3]Marder III (BR III)[/h3]
A German self-propelled gun based on the captured Czechoslovakian Pz.Kpfw. 38(t) tank. They were particularly common on the Eastern Front - and will come in handy in Enlisted too!
The gun on this tank destroyer is also captured: the PaK 36(r) is a modernized version of the Soviet 76-mm F-22 gun. Its penetration is more than enough to take on any opponent in its BR and even above.
For fans of tactics, in addition to armor-piercing and high-explosive projectiles, a number of smoke shells are also available.

[h3]Marder III H (BR III)[/h3]
An improved version of the Marder III, based on the experience gained from the battles on the Eastern Front. The most mass-produced modification of its family!
Its main armament was replaced with the German 75 mm PaK 40 gun. Also, thanks to the much larger gun shield, the crew is better protected from shrapnel and small arms fire.
A non-obvious feature of this accurate and mobile vehicle is its gun’s horizontal guidance angles: up to 28 degrees to each side and 9 degree for vertical angles! This allows you to engage targets without exposing yourself too much.

[h3]PPSh-41 "Obrez" (BR III)[/h3]
The PPSh-41 was actively used in combat by the German militia due to the shortage of standard submachine guns.
In an attempt to maximize the portability of this rather heavy weapon, the barrel and shroud were crudely shortened, and the stock was sawed off.
Although the rate of fire remained the same - 1000 rounds per minute - this modification turned out to be even shorter than the one used by the Soviet guerrillas. The removed front sight was not replaced, so aiming is only possible using the rear sight.
Along with this weapon you will also unlock a German squad with soldiers of the new Guerrilla class.

[h3]Hs 129 B-3 (BR I)[/h3]
Behind the obscure name of this attack aircraft lies a tanker's worst nightmare!
The aircraft doesn't excel in speed or maneuverability, but it's equipped with a 75 mm cannon, which is similar to the PaK 40 both in accuracy and penetration - its armor-piercing shell can easily pierce more than 100 millimeters of armor!
In addition to the cannon, it also has a pair of 7.92 mm machine guns - useful if you manage to get on the tail of an inattentive pilot or shooting at a point filled with enemies.
[h1]Japan[/h1]

[h3]FN Browning Auto-5 (BR II)[/h3]
A modification of the Browning semi-automatic shotgun for export - similar to the one you’ve already aseen in the hands of US soldiers. Its 5-round magazine and decent, 240 shots per minute, fire rate provide good firepower in close combat.
Soon the full power of this weapon will be at the disposal of Japanese specialists - engineers, assaulters, medics, APC drivers and, of course, guerrillas!
Along with this weapon you will also unlock a Japanese squad with soldiers of the new Guerrilla class.
