There are two remaining feature implementations that we plan to release in a patch in the coming weeks.

Strat Commands:

  • -Overrun
  • -Fallback
  • -Hold At All Costs

These commands are going through final QA and are included in the client release. We are still making some minor rule tweaks to ensure that they offer the best game play advancements and remain true to their use as defensive tools. Our hope is to have them ready in a point release, preferably in time to activate for an upcoming map reset.

Single Engine Plane VDM: The plane work is about 80% complete. We had initially intended to simply turn these on as they became available since the functionality is already in place. During development, however, we just couldn't help our selves from making them better. This means that turning them on without the complete set would result in desperate functionality between planes that had the new features and those that didn't. We also have made several changes to the planes to match historical records, things like armor adjustments. While we are unhappy about this delay we think the additional functionality will be much appreciated.
