Update - October 14

Hi all,

Based on feedback from the forums, I've tweaked the balance and logic of the mass offensives mechanic. Optimizations in the previous update broke them a bit. During mass offensives, simply running over a contested trench line tile should suffice to flip ownership of it unless an enemy unit is occupying the tile. Prior to this update, only tiles stopped on were being flipped.

I've also tweaked some of the reserve and rotation speed logic to hopefully make mass offensives a bit more frenetic, so hopefully mass offensives feel a bit more impactful.

Bugfixes/Changes:

  • Fixed bug in which tiles during offensives weren't properly changing owners.
  • Increased reserve replenishment rate during offensives.
  • Reduced melee bonus during initial charge of mass offensives. The first day of a mass offensive was wiping out the defending units a little too easily.
  • Sped up unit recall speed during offensives.
  • Prevented enemy offensives from permanently claiming too many trench lines at once.

Thanks for playing!

It wasn't really broken, it was just unbalanced. Namely, things like shooting down enemy pilots or evading them were not providing as much experience as they should have been given how rare they are compared to recon actions. So I've rebalanced things a bit. Shooting down opposing pilots espec…
