Big Features

  • Buy AR Goggles ($1,000): Allows players to see datalinked enemies on HUD while player is in radius of EW Network.
  • CQB Mode: Using the delete toggle key, you can temporarily reduce your view range to 150m for fighting in close quarters.
  • Customized Unit ($300): Buys a highly-skilled infantry unit with your customizations.
  • Forward Base: Purchase forward base supplies (Fast Travel) for $500, deploy/sling it to a forward position, and have a populated squad leader (>=3 members) activate it (30s construction wait). Can be used for fast travel, can buy AI and gear boxes. Can be upgraded twice by anyone ($1500, 15s wait), each time adding more buy options (light vehicles, then heavy vehicles and helos etc). Seen on the map by near enemies.
  • Fortification: captured sectors are "fortified" after 45 minutes (shown on map), which locks out enemy team from capture even if they have owned it before. This time can be drastically shortened by building a stronghold and fortifying it ($2,000).
  • Radar notching: Air vehicles vs SAM now takes into account notching disrupting radar while being more reliable otherwise. Factors for pilots avoiding SAMs: angle (perpendicular is better), speed (faster is better), altitude (lower is better), flares near (higher is better), missile distance to launcher/jet (higher is better), launcher line of sight to jet (breaking it is better).

Performance

  • General performance and network improvements.

  • Dazzler now behaves more like regular APS to save on performance.
