Transport Vehicles

A much needed change to the vehicles has arrived. APCs (Half-tracks, Bren Carrier, etc) and unarmored vehicles will be riskier to have on the battlefield.

Are more vulnerable to high explosives (HE rounds can one-shot transport vehicles)
Are more vulnerable to AP rounds (will disable them after one-hit regardless of engine hit or not)
HTs now take 5 times more damage from Artillery
Unarmored vehicles now take 8 times more damage from Artillery
Unarmored vehicles have much less operating HP so they now become disabled after 200-300 damage (was 1000 before)
Wheel damage slows the vehicles down more
Increased engine health so unarmored vehicles can take a bit more small arms fire
Increased turning ability of Jeep, Kubel, and GAZ when moving at slow speeds

Dragon’s Teeth

Raised the cost from 200 to 250
Can now be dug up anytime (no longer requires supply truck in range)
Takes longer to construct
Lowered the minimum damage required to harm (more things can damage them)

Quality of Life

Various minor map improvements and organization
Raised the minimum connection setting (NetSpeed)
Sergeants, Corporals, Assault, and Combat Engineers spawn with extra ammo now

Bug Fixes

Fixed a bug where Allied artillery marks could be seen by Axis on the situation map
Fixed a bug where public voice chat would still be disabled when the round is over

Hopeful Fix

There has been a bug plaguing a few DH players since the spectator update a while back. The bug happens whenever that player dies; perhaps more specifically when that player dies whilst in a vehicle, manning a gun, or is gibbed by HE and thus doesn’t have a “model” to view. We have not been able to reproduce it or get our hands on a machine that has the issue. So this “bug fix” is a shot in the dark and we can only hope it fixes the issue for those few that have the issue. For more information visit the reported issue.
