Developer’s Commentary:
Greetings, Commanders! Thank you very much for your feedback! Keep them coming!
In this update we decided to do some specific balance changes to improve the early stages of playing according to your feedback. We swapped the Theaters in which the APC and Tank Destroyer are found. By moving the Tank Destroyer to the Boot Camp we believe there will be a more direct counter to the APC.
At the same time we did not want the Tank Destroyer to dominate the early stages, so we reduced its range to make it easier to surround once it locks on to a Bunker.
New Features:
- Added new visual effect for when Supply Crates and Reinforcement Crates are ready to be opened and when a player can request a Unit in the Alliance!
Balance Changes:
- Moved the APC to the Central Pacific Theater
- Moved the Tank Destroyer to the Boot Camp Theater
- Reduced Tank Destroyer range to 4.5 (from 5)
- Reduced Mortarman area of effect radius to 2.5 (from 3)
- Increased Mortarman setup time to 1 (from 0.8)
- Reduced Rifleman Squad cost to 6 (from 7)
Additional:
- Fixed a bug when trying to synchronize with the game servers
- Improved security based on your feedback
- Added XP reward display to Unit promotion
- Removed Crate warning from Ranked battles
- (Mouse) Added context menu when requesting Units so you can now view their Info before requesting
- Multiple UI visual improvements
- Bug fixes (visual and sound fixes)
Known Issues:
- We are aware that trying to take a screenshot with F12 will hide the UI. We have a fix ready, but it will be deployed in next patch. Pressing F12 or left ctrl + F12 again will restore the UI. Apologies for the inconvenience!
