XM1302 Adjustment

We have analyzed the statistics of the new XM1302 Light Tank and have determined that the vehicle is a little bit too strong. Alright, not just a little bit – we are looking at 65% PvP winrate, making it currently hands down the best vehicle in the game by a wide margin, which is something that has to be addressed.

We are therefore making the following adjustments:

• Removed the Spall Liner module increasing the vehicle’s hitpoints
• Removed the Improved Transmission module increasing the vehicle’s maximum speed
• Improved the vehicle’s hitpoints to 3300
• Improved the vehicle’s maximum speed to 85 km/h
• Reduced the Mitigation ability damage reduction values from 50%/75%/90% to 40%/55%/70% (the ability still reduces module damage taken)

In short, we removed two modules but improved the base values to compensate (even a bit beyond the bonus the modules provided) and reduced the damage reduction of the Mitigation ability (the speed thresholds remain the same). The vehicle will still be very powerful (we haven’t nerfed its firepower) but now won’t be all but unstoppable.

Rough Riders Battle Path

In this update, we are fixing the following issues of the Rough Riders Battle Path and its vehicles:

• We (fingers crossed) fixed the issue plaguing the Battle Path Shop where players weren’t able to buy items due to the fact that what they see in the Shop is not what the server sees. Such desynchronizations should no longer occur
• Rolling Thunder mission can no longer be completed using any vehicle and requires Light Tanks as intended
• All MERDCS camouflages from the main progression are now correctly compensated (one was missing and we will send the missing Battle Coins to the affected players)
• ELKE: Vehicle is now assigned to Oscar Faraday
