I guess this a bit of a cryptic way of saying they fixed the Bren and BAR so they fire at normal ROF again?

Any idea what the issue was here? Were BARs and Brens shooting too fast? Are MG42s even more lethal now?

I was hoping they would fix really obvious bugs. LIke guys going into bunkers and then not being able to get back out again.

BARs and Brens were firing single rounds instead of three round bursts. Now they fire bursts like they should - again.

I don't remember that one. Was it reported? Hopefully not to me 'cause that would be embarrassing. :)

Interesting. Before the patch, I had seen them fire both single shots and bursts. Just like you can in real life. I thought that was cool.

As far as the bunkers.......if you buy an AT bunker and then put say a 3 man team into the bunker too........the small team often cannot get back out. I have no idea if this was reported. I figured all development on this game was done. The patch was a pleasant surprise.
 
That is not always the case though. The men will dismount and then stay in the same square as the bunker not moving away.

I have also seen this bug happen where it was my team moving up to an enemy bunker to assault it, but then getting stuck. So I think it's not related to entering/exiting as such, but to exist in the same square or a square next to a bunker...

Yes--you may well be right. In a current game with Titan, I had three teams get stuck in bunkers / bunker squares. Only 1 was able to break free.
 
So, I spent some time trying to reproduce this and everything worked. If you have a saved game showing the problem still exists by all means share and I can get that reported.

Same goes for the other issue of assaulting a bunker and getting stuck. There must be some additional interactions that are contributing cause I'm not see any issues.
