published 1 year ago,
This is a continuation of Update #6.0.0, click here for Part 1 where we had begun covering Vehicle changes towards the end of the document.
[i]Polaris RZR[/i]
[list]
[*] Fixed an issue that caused the camera to not completely follow the Polaris RZR when it would perform a skid.
[/list]
[i]Gunships[/i]
[list]
[*] Removed gunships 40mm GL and replaced it with a burst 30mm, please continue to share your thoughts on this as we assess Gunship balancing.
[/list]
[i]EMKV90 TOR[/i]
[list]
[*] Minimum damage lowered on both primary weapons and default weapons from 400 to 200 and HHV-EMG Maul from 635 to 400
[*] The HHV-EMG Maul weapon will no longer no longer one shot light air vehicles (Jets, Nightbird, Stealth Heli) beyond 330m, additionally it will also no longer one shot Attack Helicopters beyond 280m.
[*] Fixed an issue that caused the EMKV90 TOR to warp when going up a vehicle elevator as it transitions into siege mode.
[*] Added velocity scaled by pitch for EMKV90 TOR. This starts at 6 degrees and reaches its maximum impact by 12 degrees, weapons will fire roughly half their original speed at 12 degrees.
[/list]
[i][b]Dev Comment: [/b][/i]These changes are being made to underline that the vehicle is suited for a defensive role on the Battlefield, however it is not a vehicle that is about sniping from afar. Range will now become an important factor if you wish to continue with the EMKV90 TOR.

[i]PKP[/i]
[list]

[i]Type 88[/i]
[list]
[*] Slower dispersion increase
[/list]
[i]RPT-31[/i]
[list]
[*] Vertical recoil increased by 8%
[*] Slower dispersion increase
[*] Dispersion behavior is now more differentiated between high and low rate of fire builds i.e. dispersion will vary more depending on which attachments are used, where a higher rate of fire will result in lower accuracy and the other way around.

[i]RPK[/i]
[list]
[*] Slower dispersion increase
[/list]
[i]M60[/i]
[list]
[*] Slower dispersion increase

[list]
[*] Reduced initial dispersion penalty when moving while standing, crouching and prone
[*] Slightly increased the time it takes for recoil to fully reset overall, where on average it will now take a bit longer than for ARs. The intention is that while LMGs will now be more accurate and reliable over longer distances, their close-quarters agility will be slightly lower.
