Update 0.117 Now Available

Commanders!

We are happy to announce that the Update 0.117 is now available!

This update is bringing a large number of fixes for the current Battle Path vehicles as well as some other issues.

PELE Improvements

In this update, we’re improving the PELE rounds for Boxer CRV and Puma. This is a straight up buff but it also deserves some context.

After the special HE airburst shells started suffering from the current problems for these two vehicles, their statistics dropped significantly. On one hand, this was a good thing – the airburst shells were clearly overperforming and we had promised an adjustment even before the current issue arose.

On the other hand, the statistics tanked so much we felt it wasn’t fair to you, the players. That is why, in addition to having standard HE shells, we are adjusting the PELE shells for the vehicles to perform better. In the future, with the introduction of correctly working airburst shells, the performance of the affected vehicles will once again be reviewed.

Additionally, we fixed the bugged part of PELE mechanics for the KF41.
