This dev server features Jungle and Sinai, each with a graphical makeover. Jungle also comes with some position improvements. These are the only two maps available for Ground Battles on the dev server — let us know what you think!
Advance to the Rhine shown in the trailer and dev blog is currently not ready for the dev server.
Nothing counts on the dev server. Anything you do is not transferred to the live main server, such as Research Points and Silver Lions earned, achievements unlocked and vehicles unlocked. This also applies to any Golden Eagles, Silver Lions and Research Points that you spend on the dev server — nothing will be subtracted from your live server account.
All feedback and bug reports help us to fix any issues or change any features before the major update is released on the live server.
