[h2]New Weapon Mechanics[/h2]
- Convertible vehicles added: These vehicles have greater firepower and mobility but feature weaker armor, making them more vulnerable to HE and incendiary damage.

Currently, ground-attack planes are only available as support rewards, have limited ammo, and cannot be countered by enemies.
