The Tank has received a significant overhaul in EA15, sporting both a new look and handling characteristics. The new Tank can take more damage and also has a new turret system that will prevent the barrel from getting caught in walls. Also, make sure you don't miss the new Tank sound effects!
Along with the Tank, the Quadbike has also had a facelift, along with new sound effects. There have been several AI improvements to ground vehicle combat. For example, the AI will now stand still when attempting those tricky long range shots. When taking damage, bots will now turn towards the direction of the shooter and attempt to retaliate. Full change log: - Updated Tank to new style, including improved handling, new sounds, effects and more. - Updated Quad to new style, including improved handling, new sounds, effects and more. - Added support for turret springs and max turn speed, used on the tank main cannon - Added support for throttle sounds that only play when accelerating a vehicle. - Added support for fancy geometric tank tracks - no more cheap scrolling images ;) - Increased tank health to 4000 (was 3000 before) - AI will now stop when aiming long range shots. This also applies to vehicles. - Major tweaks to AI aiming. They are now a little deadlier than before at low and medium range. - AI will now always fire their weapon after aiming at an enemy for a while. Sometimes they would just aim but never fire before this update. - When being attacked inside vehicles with anti-tank weapons, AI drivers/gunners will now turn towards their attacker. - Anyone dealing high damage to a vehicle will be marked as a high-priority target. This means that AI are more likely to attack anti-tank units if they have recently fired. - Fixed incoming damage indicator not showing up inside vehicles. - Improvements to vehicle sound mixing. The vehicle you're inside should always be at the highest volume now. - Changed the APC team color indicators - Fixed the player minimap viewcone sometimes not turning with the player view.
