Post Scriptum - Armoured is out and more!
Hello everyone,
Last month we updated Post Scriptum with another massive update adding our newest map Veghel, 2 new vehicles, even more layers to existing maps, bayonets and a lot more.
Today, we are thrilled to announce that we are releasing another free update to Post Scriptum!!
ARMOURED game mode is now available to all Post Scriptum owners.
If you haven’t seen it yet, we had an amazing event last weekend with content creators crewing their favourite tanks and engaging in 12 versus 12 tank battles.
A lot of clips and videos of that event are already on YouTube and below is our announcement trailer that we released just before the event.

Ammo Bag for infantry
Also coming with this update is the addition of the infantry ammo bag that is available to all riflemen.
Select the ammo bag and drop it on the floor, it can then be used by any other player to refill his ammo count.
Look at it, press the F key and then click on resupply, this item can only be used once and will disappear after usage.
You are able to rearm at the ammo bag yourself but the ammo bag is not capable of rearming itself or at any other ammo crate. So you only have one per life and a maximum of two deployed simultaneously. Unused ammo bags will disappear after two minutes.

Damage model improvement
Common values to all PS vehicles:
ON COMPONENT HIT:
Crew: 50% chance of damage
Turret: 100% chance of damage
Ammo: 75% chance of damage
Turret: 100% chance of damage
Engine: 100% chance of damage
Tracks: 100% chance of damage
All penetration values have been added to the Arnhem Range training map.
For a recap on how our system works, we recommend you have a look at our Tea Time with the Devs that we had a few days ago.
The tank explanation starts at 23 minutes for those interested in a more indepth look into our damage model.

Map Voting
Yes! You can now, at the end of each round vote for the next map!
You can vote for a map but also the game mode.
Voting Refresh will refresh the set of maps available on screen, which is currently not doing anything, but it will very soon as we will have more than 8 maps in a few weeks time. (Best, Grave and then our next theatre)
That is of course optional and a server admin can decide if they want the Map Vote feature or keep the old Map Rotation system.
For ServerAdmins:
This is an example of layers that will be in your vote, when voting for Arnhem AAS, it will select one of the 3 layers added.
Same goes for Offensive.
Contact us on Discord to get the full listing of maps for your CFG files.
PS: Armoured layers and Offensive/AAS layers can not be hosted on the same server rotation.

Here is the complete changelog for this update:

Here is a little taste of what to expect in the weeks and months to come:
New layers for Velmolen in both Offensive and AAS.
Best and its bridge.
Grave and its fortified city.
Sandbox game mode news.
Various new unlisted features.
New theatre reveals for Post Scriptum.
That is it for this week!
As always, many thanks to our dedicated community for your continued support and we hope you enjoy playing Armoured as much as we enjoyed developing and testing it!
Sincerely,

For ServerAdmins:
To add that option, simply go to the ServerConfig folder and set that line from:
“MapVoting=False” to “MapVoting=True”
You will also see a file called: “MapVoting.cfg”, in there will be all the layers available for each map. You can then decide what layers to include, or not.
This is an example of layers that will be in your vote, when voting for Arnhem AAS, it will select one of the 3 layers added.
Arnhem_AAS=Arnhem_AAS_01,Arnhem_AAS_02,Arnhem_AAS_03
Same goes for Offensive.
Arnhem_Offensive=Arnhem_Offensive_Single_01,Arnhem_Offensive_Single_02
