Smolensk is a choppy mess on Console, pretty much unplayable in its current form; it runs worse than Stalingrad. I said the same thing after the last update, and I'll say it again, you need people who actually play the game working with these updates, not only feedback from the community that you choose or choose not to listen to. These updates also need to be tested on all platforms. I mean, there's no way your development team actually thought this was ready to be released. Assets are floating, hitboxes are improper, and there's crashing/stuttering among a plethora of other issues. Every update is like you guys are getting these ideas from the community but you're not able to properly implement them becuase you dont have people who PLAY THE GAME. We've had a years worth of maps released be almost unplayable on Console becuase of how bad they run. Tobruk, Stalingrad rework, now Smolensk. Have any of the developers even seen how these maps run on Console before being dropped?

You're 100% right. The game is currently heading towards the state of Squad 44, which is completely broken. The developers don't even test their patches, leaving it up to the community. And with this approach to development, I repeat, this game will suffer the same fate as Squad 44. And I won't even mention HLL Vietnam. There will be no such thing as optimization and tons of bugs. You'll see.

Yeah, it's just surprising, considering how responsive they were to the problems with the last update, that they would do it again right after, especially after specifically addressing that they weren't going to do it again. Don't get me wrong, I understand, especially in software development, that things are going to happen, but lack of testing doesn't fall into that category, it falls into "we have to hit a preset deadline." It would be nice if game companies would learn from one another and understand that is the most damning business model for this kind of thing. I think that's the most frustrating part.

The game should really be returned to a beta testing version. Otherwise t17 is communicating a lie to potential new buyers of the game.
