Granvir News

[p]A full complement of new tank tracks and variants are available this update rounding out the measly single selection. The new tracks span across all tiers and feature a module slot on all variants so you can easily install a barrier. Variants of the new tracks include a large amount of cargo space, broadside auto cannons and a rear mounted rocket booster.[/p][p]A large number of fixes and improvements for controller are also included in this update. As with any controller interface overhaul, it is possible that the active selection can be lost due to an oversight in the new controls. If you manage to lose your active selection and have to revert to mouse and keyboard, please let me know here or on the Steam forums so I can fix the related menu.[/p][p]2.12.0[/p][h3]Major Features[/h3]
