Title: New beta version
Post by: Pyro on January 17, 2012, 05:49:42 PM
Just a heads up that there's a new beta version available.  We think we have all those CTD bugs squished and expect that this will be the last beta if nothing major comes up.  Please check it out the beta forum for more info.

Now if yall are short some testers I'll jump in.

While the ground clutter is definately a step in the right direction it's really nothing spectacular. If it extended out farther than 50yds from your tank it would be but as it is right now it looks kind of ridiculous.

It's a small thing I know but I tend to think of it as Ground Cover rather then ground clutter.

Im really digging the aspect of manable arty in the game. Im probabale gonna be first to die to it, BUT, Thank You HTC.

Beta was looking slick on my end. Didnt have all the Bells and whistles on, but looked good to me.

we have mannable 88s, which are quite nice if someone flies directly at you.

Directly overhead like a passing bomber box, or nose-on direct like a dive bombing jabo?

buffs can be ranged easily, fighters are a problem - you need to lead out quite a bit and range at the same time - Nose on direct jabo's are a easy kill as long as you have them under ranged (i.e Icon says 1.5k you better be ranged at 1,000).

A turn and burn fighter, not so much, I tried for an hour and couldn't hit anything, then again a few months tinkering with one would be different.
