    Release Notes

     

    IMPORTANT: The following release notes are preliminary and in draft form. Some features/changes will change or be omitted before final release.

     

    Vehicles 2.0

    The entire vehicle system has been overhauled with new mechanics, physics, and features. Every single vehicle has been adapted to support these new features. While we tried to retain prior attributes for certain variants, for the most part every single vehicle should be considered a new piece of content.

    ■ New Vehicle Physics

    ○ More physically accurate driving model that allows for:

    • Realistic handling

    • Drifting

    • Rolling stops

    • Uphill/downhill forces

    ○ Visual improvements - Dirt trails, simulated inertia animations, and more

    ○ Handbrake control - Spacebar

    ■ Dynamic Fuel system

    ○ Any vehicle can now run on either Diesel or Petrol

    • Petrol provides more engine force, allowing vehicles to have a faster top speed

    ○ Change Fuel action - Siphons fuel and toggles fuel type

    ■ Tank Armour

    ○ Armoured Cars, Half-Tracks, Tanks, and other vehices now have Tank Armour

    ○ Tank Armour can deflect incoming fire

    ○ Different ammo types have different chances to penetrate Tank Armour

    ○ Tank Armour can be reinforced at Garages (previously Vehicle Factories)

    ■ Vehicle Subsystems

    ○ Damage that penetrates Tank Armour can damage one of several subsystems

    • Fuel Tank - Causes fuel to drain at a very fast rate, even when not accelerating

    • Turret - Prevents turret from firing

    • Track - Movement speed is significantly reduced

    ■ Vehicle Tiers

    ○ Vehicles can now exist as a Prototype, Normal, Tier 2, or Tier 3 vehicle

    ○ Prototype vehicles have reduced durability (more damage is taken)

    ○ Tier 2 & 3 vehicles have increased durability (less damage is taken) and unique visuals

    ■ Vehicle Variants

    ○ Dozens of new vehicle variants have been added to the game (see below for details)

     

    Colonial Vehicle Variants

    ■ R-1 Hauler

    ○ A Colonial vehicle used to mobilize troops and supplies.

    ■ R-9 “Speartip” Escort

    ○ This standard Truck is fitted with Light Machinegun in place of the passenger seat. It’s well suited as an escort for convoys or lightly armoured operations.

    ■ R-5 “Atlas” Hauler

    ○ This standard Truck is fitted with a resource hopper in place of the standard cargo hold. This allows for a much greater capacity for resources at the expense of space for cargo.

    ■ 03MM “Caster”

    ○ A motorcycle and sidecar used to patrol large areas. Speed can be boosted at the cost of additional fuel.

    ■ 00MS “Stinger”

    ○ The cab of this Motorcycle is fitted with an LMG for fast-response hit and run assaults.

    ■ UV-05a “Argonaut”

    ○ This stripped down Light Utility Vehicle provides extra seating for a small crew to engage in hit and run tactics.

    ■ UV-24 “Icarus”

    ○ This RPG-mounted Light Utility Vehicle provides a heavy-duty weapons platform with superior speed. Perfectly suited for assaulting enemy structures and vehicles, or supporting an armoured assault.

    ■ AB-11 “Doru”

    ○ With its mounted machinegun, the Doru is the perfect addition to any shoreline assault.

    ■ HH-a “Javelin”

    ○ Designed for escort missions and to support infantry operations, the HH-a class “Javelin” Half-Track is an armoured, versatile all-terrain vehicle equipped with a mounted machinegun.

    ■ T12 “Actaeon” Tankette

    ○ This complete overhaul of the T3 Armoured Car is reinforced with tank armour. While these extra defenses lower the T12’s overall speed and handling, the addition of treads provide increased performance in less than ideal terrain.

    ○ A heavy-duty Battle Tank with thick armour plating and destructive firepower. The Flood is fitted with a 75mm turret and a front-facing 12.7mm anti-infantry machine gun. The heavy armour limits top speed, but in exchange it can take a lot of punishment.
