Patch Notes
Helicopters
- Alligator (Ka-52) has a bit higher acceleration and higher top speed.
- Pave Low (MH-53) has a higher top speed.
- Mouse sensitivity no longer scales with FPS. You may have to reduce your sens if you have a fast machine.
- Apache: Longbow Salvo missiles can no longer hit your own helicopter under a certain missile configuration.
- Missile Select Bug: Missiles no longer get stuck firing if you change weapons while firing.
- Huey: door gunners no longer shoot through your own helicopter for targets ahead of you.
- The aim laser now turns off during cinematics.
Combat
- Player Airstrike: the laser lock is twice as fast (2s to 1s).
- Player Airstrike: adjusted timing of the jet.
- Enemy gun-jet strafing runs now do half as much damage. Your Airstrike still hits as hard as before.
- Smoke Screen now blocks the sight of enemy infantry on the ground.
- Fixed missile-lock warnings misbehaving once the missile has been fired, including after a roped MANPADS missile is released.
- BTRs have less health (6500 to 3000). Fair warning though, i'm going to add some armored tank later on...
- Shilkas have less health (5000 to 3000).
- Ataka and Shturm missiles are now armor piercing
Helipads
- Trucks at helipad bases no longer spawn on top of pickups or your helicopter. They spawn at the start of the mission and change teams when you capture the helipad.
- The van and cargo truck now show up from the start as enemies and switch to your side when you capture the helipad.
- Helipads now have lights that show which side holds them.
Destruction
- More barbed wire fences can now be destroyed.
A Day at the Beach & A Boom of One's Own
- The extraction marker now disappears as soon as you reach it, so it's clear the objective is done.
- A Boom of One's Own: moved a van that was clipping into a building.
- A Boom of One's Own: updated audio mix.
- A Boom of One's Own: fixed a music desync issue.
Fast Times at Lakeview Prison
- The objective now has a proper marker instead of only a radar blip.
- Fixed a floating light pole and other light poles around the prisons.
- Updated the look of the prison's weak spots.
No Takesies Backsies
- Fixed a bug that could stop the beach landing from triggering.
Training Run
- Flying over the bridge is smoother. The helicopter stays above it more reliably.
- Updated audio mix.
- Fixed a music desync issue.
Get It While It's Hot
- Fixed the ammo crate at Crater Base Three handing out the wrong ammo type.
Piña Colada Strike
- The drone section is much easier :) the drone has more health, flies faster, starts with 10 grenades, and gets twice as many grenades from crates. Grenades fly towards your crosshair and have a shorter fuse, and the rope has a longer range to grab things/enemies.
- Enemy waves in the drone section are now lighter-armed jungle fighters.
- Fixed grabbing a container launching the drone out of the map. (lol)
- Fixed the drone turning red when flying low near blood.
- Fixed the first download wave's dialogue never playing.
- The final cruise-missile chase kills you less often.
- The "pleasure palace" now breaks apart more smoothly.
- Opened up doors around the bank, including in the basement, and cleaned up the area around the vault.
- Moved the big turrets away from the streets.
- Fixed power poles and cables, plus small city touch-ups to make our 3d artist happy. :)
- Updated audio mix.
Getaway Day
- Fixed a bug when an Airstrike hit the friendly carrier boat.
- Fixed dropping troops onto the ship sometimes killing a main character and blocking progress.
The Storm
- The submarine now surfaces on its own after a while.
- The Comanche's Radar Cloak now works in the submarine fight.
Modding
- Added a Help button to the Mods Panel that opens the modding guide.
- The "Not Knowing Samples" mod now ships with the game.
Localization
- Translation updates.
Other Fixes
- Controller: the Boost button now shows its proper name instead of a raw text key.
- Map panning and zooming now move at the same speed at any frame rate.
Now I'm going to take a long weekend. Whew. Thanks for playing.
