Changes from previous release
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Changed capture parameters for winning the war in the Late War arenas.  Capture % threshold has been reduced to 20%.

Fixed a problem that could cause bomber drones not to be able to keep up at higher altitudes.

Altitude start points now start your plane off at speed in level autopilot with gear up.

Bail out pilot was not colliding with ground shapes.

A6M5 autopilot light works now.

Fixed a sorting issue in the B-24's nose gun position.

Fixed an issue with the B5N's gun interrupter.

N1K's nose cone was not displaying correctly when the prop was spinning.

I'd b e pretty shocked if they did, I'm going to go with the theory they want the ability for scenarios, like with the B29 so they don't take an hour to get to alt and get where they're going.

Anti Beetwentyniner..

Perkage is unreal but nothing other than the 262, 163 or 47M can catch you.

Air spawn is across the board. It's not arena specific. The spawns are tied into the maps. Once you spawn it's the game code that dictates how you will behave. Apparently theyv'e changed it.

So yes, that means also in the TA. Assuming the TA has air spawns built in.

"...been reduced to 20%"

Okay, so it was at 50% for what, month or two and everyone complained little too easy. Then when new version came out it was jacked to 75%, which made it more difficult and similar to before new towns (some say worse). Now we are going to 20%?? Sheesh, fly in, take out the ack, bail out and .45 down a building. White flag, bring in the troops!  :neener:

I think you may be confusing "winning the war" with "capturing a field"...

Pretty sure it doesn't mean that the towns are any easier to take. :old:

They enabled the key comand ALT+F4 to record your kills. Should be used just before you land. :old:

They reduced the need to only have 20% bases captured in order to win teh warz.

Should make for more rapid map rotations.
See Rule #4
