General Changes:

• Jifty build time reduced.
• 1st texture pass. Majority of new units textured, some still require another pass. Some older units also received preliminary texture pass.
• Veterancy requirement halved.
• Mech Repair Bay only repairs mechs.
• To use just select a damaged mech and right click on the repair bay.
• Once repaired use the unload transport button to undock mech.

Weapon Changes:

• LBX weapon functional.
• Cluster based weapons damage multiplier reduced. (Missiles, LBX, LRMs. This is used to simulate crit damage from crit prone systems.)
• LRM and SRM weapon system updated, accuracy more in line with BattleTech hit charts. (You’re going to feel this one. Before, missiles were a placeholder, and behaving as Streaks Missile Systems.. Actual Battletech missiles hit 58% of their payloads on average, not including the “to-hit” probabilities. Keep this in mind as you adjust your tactics. Rely on your direct fire mechs/vehicles. Your dropship is also going to be a bit less offensive, and a lot more defensive.)
• Changed damage and rate of fire back to BattleTech values due to accuracy correction.
• Artemis IV FCS increases LRM hit rate by roughly 35%.
• AMS fully functional vs LRM, and SRM missiles.
• Updated visual for PPC and ERPPC.
• Energy based weapons function under water.

• Hover vehicles unable to engage seabed targets.
• Partisan AA capabilities updated, much more effective vs air targets, less accurate vs ground targets.
• Lowered drop ship flight elevation to improve direct fire accuracy.

Enjoy the build guys and let us know if you notice any bugs.
