Note
This build introduces a larger map (2 km by 2 km) for vehicle testing. The map includes AI tanks that patrol pre-set routes. Their combat AI is deactivated, as we are still working on this feature.
The new driver navigation system can be tested on any vehicle in either of the two test maps. Simply aim the center of your view at a spot on the ground and press F4, and your current vehicle will switch to AI control and drive to that spot. (This works best in free cam mode, which is toggled with F3.) Attempting to drive the vehicle yourself will remove AI control again.
All vehicles are now using new fire control system code that supports many features not previously in the demo, including independent optics stabilization and automatic lead. You can see some of these improvements in the M60A3 TTS and the T-72M1.
Changelog
