Closed Beta: Update #41

Happy new year! First update of 2024!
Long time without any updates as I had to leave home for a while.
We are now resuming work as before ;)

[h3]ADDED:[/h3]
● Brand new gamemode: Frontline. It works similarily to the current rebranded 'Conquest' gamemode, except this gamemode features a 'progression' system. Where the spawnpoints and battle areas on the map evolves over time. Attacker team needs to capture different areas on the map, one after the other. Capturing one area will unlock the next. When the last area is captured, the game ends. The limit in this gamemode will be time (customizable when hosting). Base game time limit will be 30 minutes.
● Sd. Kfz. 251 with full physics and new armour system.
● M4 Sherman with full physics and new armour system.


[h3]CHANGED:[/h3]
● CTF (Capture the flag) gamemode has been renamed into 'Conquest'.
● Changed medic/healing icon to red background and white cross (instead of white background and red cross).
● New default gamemode for defending in a victory point in campaign now is the new 'Frontline' gamemode.
● Once a track is destroyed on a tank, if you keep shooting at the wheels the armour used will now be the one for the side of the hull.
● Infantry healing UI element has been moved for improved visibility.
● When choosing a gamemode when hosting a game, the amount of points required to achieve victory will now be automatically be set to the default amount of points for a given gamemode (for best balance).
● Increased the angular drag on small arms casings to prevent forever rolling once the casings hit the round.
● As a medic, when starting to heal an AI infantry, the AI will stop moving until you are done healing him, he will also crouch.


[h3]FIXED:[/h3]
● AI going a little crazy with Nebelwerfer.
● British 6-pdr AT gun schematic (engineer building) had a visual issue.
● Issue of vehicle detection when trying to get in a land vehicle (depending on what part you were looking at with the camera).


[h3]REMOVED:[/h3]
● 'Conquest' gamemode has been removed.
