Welcome, commanders! In this minor update, we have improved the mechanics of bipod placement and their effectiveness.
AI soldiers have also become much smarter! They react faster to danger, take cover when wounded, have learned to strafe while shooting, choose cover more intelligently, and act more realistically in general.
Tankers can now repair the internal modules of their vehicles without leaving them; while gunners and commanders (as well as soldiers using engineering guns) can now see realistic distortion effects in their sights.
While you’re reading the full list of improvements, we’re already preparing for the upcoming major update.
