Gameplay changes:

Vehicles’ critical damage repair by supply units.

Remastered damage & critical hit system.

Increased Short/Mid range precision.

Adjusted vehicle offroad speed: this change will affect about 80% of the vehicles in the game (and NOT the Hellcat!).

Features:

Active Pause, the game will now be pausable with the “P” key in Single Player (campaign, skirmish…), while still allowing you to give orders.

Private 2v2 Breakthrough games.

Moddable DLC content for DLC owners.

You can check the entire patchlog right here.

We also have rebooted the ranked leaderboards, all the games will be in “Closer Combat” mode instead of “Conquest”.
