Spoiler

 

| General Changes |

• Adjusted the "Weapons Scroll" wheel to it's previous change.
• Adjusted the bots class to avoid race conditions- now instead of crashing, it will spam logs.
• AT Mines can now be detonated by directly hitting them with a shell/rocket.
• Detonating Remote C4 is now more reliable.

 

| Balance |

• Commanders:
  • Command Points (CP) now only ticks if at least 1 team has a commander.
  • The game will still notify you when a enemy commander is elected, even though you already have one in your team.
• ┗━ EMP Airstrikes:
  • EMP Airstrike can now chain with other EMPs.
  • Fixed EMP Airstrike doing damage to infantry in general. 
  • EMP Airstrike duration is affected by distance.
  • EMP Airstrike's sound effect has been updated to be more "noticeable".

 

• EMP Grenades:
  • EMP's can now properly chain, but they can only reset the EMP time.
    • (Example: EMP Grenades can EMP vehicles for 6 seconds... so if you EMP a vehicle that only has 1 second left of being EMP then you'd just reset the timer to 6... not add it up to 7.)
  • Initial EMP's of vehicles are worth +2VP.
  • Chain EMPs are only worth +1VP.
  • EMP duration is affected by distance from the EMP Grenade.
  • Increased cooldown on EMP Grenades from 60 seconds to 75 seconds.
  • Reduced the max disable time for EMP grenades from 6 seconds to 5 seconds.

 

• Proximity Mines:
  • Repairing a Proximity Mine that has the EMP effect now restores it to full health and removes the EMP effect.
  • Fixed the particle effect that's supposed to play on Proximity Mines.

 

| UI |

• Enemy vehicles that have the EMP effect now show "EMP'd" in their description when targeted.
• When a commander spots a enemy vehicle that has the EMP effect, it will now display a lightning bolt symbol  next to them. 
• Death by headshots now shows what weapon killed you in the death message instead of the generic skull death icon.
• Updated the veterancy rank increase message to now just say "Rank Increased" instead of "Promoted To".
