What do a brand-new Sherman, a heavily defended river crossing, and a W key that’s finally getting some rest have in common? They’re all part of today’s Call to Arms: Panzer Elite update! And if you’ve been waiting for the right moment to join the fight, consider this your sign: Call to Arms: Panzer Elite is 50% off on Steam starting today.
The latest Early Access update for Call to Arms: Panzer Elite adds the M4A1 (75) “Late Sherman” to the Allied arsenal, giving commanders another 75mm option to take into battle, complete with dedicated crew animations, vehicle effects, and audio. The M4A1 will also replace the M4A3 in German campaign missions set during summer 1944, bringing the American armor encountered in these missions closer to the period represented.

Of course, a new tank needs somewhere to go. The new Amblève River US Conquest mission sees German troops occupying Remouchamps and cutting US forces off from the main Allied force across the river. Somewhere out there is an intact bridge that could reconnect the two forces. Unfortunately, the Germans know that too. Find it, secure it, and do it before the remaining routes are sealed.
And your W key can finally take the day off: cruise control is here! Set your speed, take your finger off the throttle, and focus on steering and watching your surroundings instead. Meanwhile, the AI has been doing its homework. Vehicles are now better at navigating around obstacles and wrecks, reversing, and generally figuring out where they’re supposed to go. They’ll also keep pushing through destructible walls after losing speed.
The update also brings improved infantry movement, HUD customization, keyboard and gamepad navigation, controller settings, battlefield and vehicle audio, visual and performance improvements, stability fixes, and a healthy pile of squashed bugs.
As Early Access progresses, Call to Arms: Panzer Elite will keep expanding with new missions, vehicles, and skirmish maps for the current factions – and perhaps a few unexpected reinforcements along the way.
Call to Arms: Panzer Elite is available now for PC in Early Access exclusively on Steam, priced at $29.99 / €29.99.
