We're live with another update! Not too much going into it this time, but a few important fixes and adjustments just couldn't be left till the next major release line.
Chief among these is a fix for ambient temperatures not updating correctly in HUDs, a fix to mechs losing head armor too quickly to splash weapons (bombs, mainly), and some adjustments to TC_Kagoshima so it plays a bit better. Oh, and hitting ASF build times with a delay (it's now 45 seconds) so players have less agency to waste team tickets by lawndarting or otherwise throwing away their rides every couple minutes... Some folks might hate this, but we're sure nobody enjoys getting harassed by the same ASF pilot kamikazeing into your ground asset over and over. As with any gameplay change of this level, we'll see how it plays out over time and adjust correspondingly.
Now for some screenshots!
Below is an example of the difference in head component damage from the same single bombing run, as compared to the prior version:
And here's one of those spots in Kagoshima that's been fixed; you can now move through spaces where there's no actual railing:
Lastly, here's the changelog:
