Armoured Commander II News

The Steam Wargames fest is just around the corner, so on the Discord we are doing a Community Challenge, where players try their hand at a campaign and attempt to finish with the highest final VP score. For more info and to join in, please head over to the ArmCom2 Discord.

FIX: If the player vehicle broke down during travel on the Campaign Day map, the animation location of the player glyph was not being reset, meaning that if the player continued into a new day during the same play session, it would appear incorrect
FIX: Some characters were not being properly encoded in the name input menu

ADD: 'reliable' tag for vehicles
ADD: New movement classes: Very Slow Tank, Very Fast Tank, Very Slow Wheeled, Very Fast Wheeled, Fast Infantry
ADD: Check during game save to avoid a CTD when game cannot write to saved campaign folder, will display a warning instead

CNG: Slight change to how movement class is are displayed in game
CNG: Pass Ammo command can now be used to increase RoF chance for MG weapons (Shell Tosser and Shell Pitcher skills do not apply)

FIX: Changed some vehicle rarity factors from 110% to 100%
FIX: Cavalry movement class had incorrect data
FIX: More positions can now gain the Shell Tosser and Shell Pitcher skills (thanks for the spot, PowderTrail!)

FIX: Goliath teams now properly show Germany as origin nation
FIX: Demolition Charges can now no longer maintain Rate of Fire

ADD: Distinct armour save sound effect for attacks from molotov cocktails
ADD: New sound effect for demolition charge attacks
ADD: Inputs to switch between crewmen from within the crewman menu (thanks for the suggestion, Sinner6!)
ADD: When spending advance points in increasing crew stats, current value and value after spending the point are now displayed in the menu (thanks for the suggestion, Sinner6!)
ADD: 'very_reliable' stat for units, greatly decreases base chance of breakdown
ADD: Goliath 302 and 303 teams; no to-hit penalty for being a small team, lower base to-hit chance, cannot attack top armour, and only one attack before withdrawing (thanks for the suggestion and the portraits, Tesserakt!)

CNG: Replaced AT Rifle firing sound effect
CNG: Movement class modifiers now centrally defined in the game code
CNG: Unarmoured vehicles now display nothing in the armour section of the unit card, rather than 'Unarmoured' (was running into text from the movement class display)
CNG: Slightly increased the chance for very unreliable and unreliable vehicles to break down

FIX: When a HE hit was resolved on an armoured unit and the result was that the crew was taken out, the effect was not applied and the attack console remained visible
FIX: If the game is unable to load the campaign records file, it will display a message and return to the main menu instead of crashing
FIX: Panzer VD and Panzer VG renamed to Panzer V D and Panzer V G; older names will still appear in saved campaigns
