Back again with a new update. Added a couple of features that inject a bit more strategic maneuvering into the game. Mainly the ability to call in strikes from your mortar via satellite uplink. Along with this, the pla have gained the ability to jam your uplink if you are too close to a radar site, so keep that in mind if you rely on the uplink to gain an advantage.
Another thing that is worthy of mention and was brought to my attention by TJ Dagger and JurekCello78 from the OFDR forums is the capability of bypassing the Quazal servers and directly connecting over the internet by creating a LAN game and connecting via IP. This works brilliantly and allows us to continue enjoying this game TOGETHER without depending on Quazal to make our connections. Great find!!
