[h2]Dear Mechanics,[/h2]

we have uploaded a hotfix for update 1.2.3, on branch unstable, list of changes:

[h2]1.2.3 Hotfix 1[/h2]


Added:
  • Decals for Little Willie (for upcoming 1.2.4 patch)
  • Tank Mechanic Simulator VR button in menu


Modified / Tweaked:
  • Better random generation for tanks (Extractions)
  • Sherman and Pershing - divided some parts into not being interchangable, as requested
  • Ballistic math (still to be enhanced later)


Fixed:
  • Memory leak with materials (this caused crashes in warehouse and museum for mostly people)
  • Null reference exception (UI)
  • KV1 position in main menu
  • Rusty parts images even with 100% condition for M20/M8 Greyhound
  • Wrong sounds during walking outside of Workshop
  • Small configuration errors in M8Greyhound
  • Position for Mosins in museum stands
  • Deep interior mode now correctly disables and enables parts


If this hotfix proves to be helpful in few days we will switch it to default branch. Sorry for all the waiting, but the main fix this hotfix brings - the memory leak fix - was very important for us to send it out.

Thanks and have a good weekend,

Aircraft Carrier Survival: Prologue launches today!



[h2]Hello, fellow mechanics![/h2]

We have some fantastic news to share with you! Our friends over at CreativeForge Games are releasing their Aircraft Carrier Survival: Prologue for free today at 5 PM CEST!

The game lets you explore a totally different branch of the military - the Navy! Instead of repairing tanks that used to serve in the Army, take command of a full-blown aircraft carrier. Select your own crew, officers, equipment, and escort to complete each mission successfully. However, the seas are treacherous – you have to survive in a hostile environment in the middle of the ocean and fight back against your enemies.

You need to plan your missions, target your objectives and keep your crew safe from attacks. You can do that by assigning your crewmen to man the AA guns and aircraft or order them to handle hull flooding, fire outbreaks, and other threats.

Get "Aircraft Carrier Survival: Prologue" here:

Community Free Vehicles #1 - M20 AUC, M8 Greyhound - Update 1.2.3




[h2]Dear Mechanics,[/h2]

as promised in the roadmap a few weeks ago, with game update we are adding two new vehicles to the game - the M20 Armored Utility Car and the M8 Greyhound.

Here are some information about these vehicles:

[h2]M8 Greyhound[/h2]





The M8 Light Armored Car is a 6×6 armored car produced by the Ford Motor Company during World War II. It was used from 1943 by United States and British forces in Europe and the Pacific until the end of the war. The vehicle was widely exported and as of 2006 still remained in service with some countries. In British service, the M8 was known as the "Greyhound", a nickname seldom if ever used by the US. The British Army found it too lightly armored, particularly the hull floor, which anti-tank mines could easily penetrate (the crews' solution was lining the floor of the crew compartment with sandbags). Nevertheless, it was produced in large numbers. The M8 Greyhound's excellent on-road mobility made it a great supportive element in the advancing American and British armored columns. It was marginal off-road, especially in mud.

[h2]M20 Armored Utility Car[/h2]





M20 AUC also known as the M20 scout car, was a Greyhound with the turret replaced with a low, armored open-topped superstructure and an anti-aircraft ring mount for a .50 cal M2 heavy machine gun. A bazooka was provided for the crew to compensate for its lack of anti-armor weaponry. The M20 was primarily used as a command vehicle and for forward reconnaissance, but many vehicles also served as armored personnel carriers and cargo carriers. It offered high speed and excellent mobility, along with a degree of protection against small arms fire and shrapnel. When employed in the command and control role, the M20 was fitted with additional radio equipment. Originally designated the M10 armored utility car, it was redesignated M20 to avoid confusion with the M10 tank destroyer.

  • Restored terrain deformation for AP/HE bullet holes in ground (Proving Grounds)


Fixed:
  • Wrong appearance of camouflages when tanks are moved from Museum to Test Drive
  • Speed and rpm pointers for German and American tanks
  • Rotation of fuel container in M3 half-track
  • An error that disallowed for interaction after player tried to move to the same room by using the Tank Manager menu
