Hey Commanders! Here comes the 0.9.81b update! The jumping tank has arrived, along with several new rocket-equipped vehicles. Let’s take a look!

🚜 New Vehicle Arrives!

• "Valentine Gap Jumping Tank"
  • A brand-new Rank 2 special medium tank!
  • Equipped with 26 rockets mounted on both sides of the hull. Once ignited, they launch the entire vehicle into the sky, allowing it to leap over enemy defenses!
  • Might even land safely with a bit of luck…

• 🔥 New Mechanic: "Rocket Jump"
  • Ignite the rockets mounted on both sides of the hull to temporarily lift the vehicle off the ground.
  • This effect replaces the original engine boost acceleration.

⭐ New Elite Vehicles

• T17E1 (Rank 4): Replaces the artillery command ability with 4 × 152 mm RP-3 "Tulip" rockets.
• Cromwell Mk. VI (Rank 5): Equipped with 4 "Tulip" rockets and track armor.
• Sherman Firefly (Rank 6): Equipped with 2 "Tulip" rockets, track armor, and a rather unusual dummy gun barrel.
• Additionally, when starting a new game, if you already meet the unlock requirements for an Elite Vehicle, the reward screen will now pop up immediately.

⚙️ System Adjustments and Fixes

• All British vehicles can now select the German Gray camouflage.
• Continued attempts to fix the issue where captured enemies are still attacked by allies.
• The pause menu now displays the player's armor value.
• Fixed an issue where high-elevation vehicles would have their gun barrel stand upright when aiming at very close target.
• Fixed a bug where the garage camera would be shaken away by explosions.
• Fixed a bug where Elite P26/40 would try to appear too early in the first mission.
• Fixed an issue where the AOE indicator would not display underwater.
• Fixed a bug where medkits touched by ally units could not be picked up by the player.
• Weapon upgrade values are now rounded up, and each upgrade is calculated separately. For example: 1 penetration +20%, then +50% will now result in 3.
• The minimum value for penetration, damage, and reload time is now 0.5.

🧧 Special Note

• The game will participate in the Steam Lunar New Year Sale starting tomorrow. During the event, you will be able to get the game at a discounted price!
