Vehicle Balance
Vehicle Knockback
Vehicle knockback felt too sluggish in realistic conditions, and overall wasn't a good fit for the game. This mechanic has been shelved for now, though we may explore using knockback as a feedback mechanism in the future, instead of a mechanic with more tangible gameplay implications.
Aspis Anti-Air turrets (lattice base version)
Projectile lifespan from 3sec. to 1.2sec.
Projectiles now detonate at the end of their lifespan.
This change brings the maximum effective range of base turrets to 450 meters to focus their role on the defense of the base, instead of influencing far-off fights.
