There are two new tanks coming to the late Tech Tree. They are based on the new tank chassis introduced in Entrenched last fall.

This evolution of the “Bardiche” is fitted quad-mounted RPG launchers paired with a high-velocity 12.7mm cannon. The “Ranseur” indicates progress in Kraunian design as they continue to leverage outdated equipment to create deadly, modern armour.

[h2]Warden Dual 20mm Cruiser Tank[/h2]
Colm Gallagher’s engineers designed a variation of the Outlaw that features an independently rotating MG turret sitting atop the main armament of twin anti-tank cannons. What it lacks in raw firepower compared to its older sibling, the Highwayman more than makes up for it with versatility.

Many improvements and optimizations have been made to vehicle physics. This includes more accurate collision and suspension modelling and overall more stable movement when driving over trenches or rough terrain. There is still room for further improvements in the future, but the changes here should provide a noticeably better driving experience.
Several optimizations have been made to the client, which should result in an overall smoother gameplay across the board. The most significant improvements have been made around loading in large Bunkers and interacting with large Squad lists. There should be less hitches and improved FPS in these two areas of the user experience.
There are plenty of other low key changes in this update, including:
