Hey Commanders! We've got something pretty exciting in this update - plane has finally joined the battle!
Sd.Kfz.222 and Ju 87 D-5 "Stuka" are making their debut together!
From now on, battles aren't just fought on the ground anymore, so remember to look up every once in a while~~
✈️ The First Aircraft Arrives!
- Ju 87 D-5 "Stuka"
- Equipped with two 20 mm MG151 autocannons, with the option to carry one or three 500 kg bombs!
- An aircraft's Range stat determines how long it can remain in combat. Once its combat time runs out, it will automatically return to base to reload
- If the aircraft unfortunately crashes, the turret that summoned it will restart its cooldown, greatly delaying the next available airstrike
- An aircraft's Ready Rack represents how many bombs it carries. So if you somehow manage to increase its Ready Rack, it really will carry an extra bomb!
🚙 New Vehicle: "Sd.Kfz.222"
- A brand-new Rank 5 Support Vehicle!
- Equipped with a 20 mm autocannon, but more importantly - it can call in a Stuka dive bomber to assist in battle!
💥 Anti-Aircraft Guns Finally Do Their Job!
- All anti-aircraft guns will now actively engage airborne targets!
- And it's not just aircraft - even vehicles riding gliders can now be targeted by them
⚙️ Other Adjustments
- Czech hedgehogs have been nerfed again: they will now be destroyed after being hit by a vehicle for 0.5 seconds
- AI Elite M15/42 can now use the "Meal Command" skill no more than 3 times
🛠 Optimizations and Fixes
- Improved AI vehicle pathfinding
- Improved headlight visuals
- Fixed a bug where Char BB would always fire both guns at the same time
- Fixed an issue where amphibious vehicles would sink too deep into the water
With Commissar's persistent efforts, we finally managed to get the students from the Aviation Club to join us for training!
If everyone enjoys this, we'll add even more aircraft in the future!
Come give it a try, Commander!
