GAMEPLAY -------

- If you are lucky, your pulse lasers occasionally will fire an additional laser pulse. Despite being useful in some situations, this is not intended. Sorry! :) - In the Coupled Unlocked mode, when the reticule is very close to the center of the screen, the torso will stop moving, but the reticule will keep trying to recenter. - The Oro and Rommel cannot turn while reversing. - Air LBX does not collide with mechlegs - BA SRMs always update in the HUD correctly whether they are selected or not, but only after they have been selected once after a respawn happened. After they have been selected, weapons can be switched, and they will always update correctly. - When left empty, each BA SRM tube needs to be manually reloaded (can be initiated by using the fire button) - BA hardmount MG cannot be fired during SRM reload while the SRM are selected - BA arm remains in position when hardmount MG is expended - weapon switch clears it - BA hardmount MG triggers "reloading" state on one of the SRM indicators when they are selected - BA hardmount MG is not yet textured. - BA hardmount MG lacks a muzzleflash effect. (it was heavily bugged) Tracers still work properly, however.

------ CONTROLS -------

- DirectInput Joystick support has been removed due to instability. You can continue using your joystick by following this guide: https://wiki.mechlivinglegends.net/index.php/Joystick_Setup



------ BUG FIXES ------

- Battle Armor damage modifiers are correctly working now, this means machine guns do the correct amount of damage to Battle Armor
- Fixed SA and LMS game mode kills being always logged as teamkills when sv_logKills is set to 1
- Fixed an issue where the vehicle turrets (AMS were unaffected) would fire when the left mouse button is pressed

- Fixed Rusalka showing outdated paperdoll
- Fixed Anubis cockpit hitbox not following the torso as it moves
- Fixed Thor and Loki not exploding and going critical on destruction

---- GAME SYSTEMS -----

- e_clouds setting has been locked to 1 for gameplay reasons
- Rangefinder max distance doubled to 3000m 
- Both server and client will print the MWLL version and revision at startup in the log now
- The C-Bill donation system now prevents you from being able to donate money to a dead player, and will also show a warning on the screen.
- A log message will warn you when you try to change your name in a server where player renaming is disabled

------ GAMEPLAY -------

- ASF and VTOL ejector seats now actually push you out like actual ejector seats

- We continued our work on the BA. This iteration allows us to balance the health, armor, regeneration and damage modifiers for each single BA now.
	- BA now have inertia, instant strafing is no longer possible
	- BA jumpjets use a new performance curve, jump setting side to side and forward more responsive, 
	- BA jumpjets refuel delay reduced from 1.5 to 1 second
	- BA jumpjets max fuel slightly increased
	- Decreased air resistance and floatiness
	- BA SRM ammo is now limited to 8 in the players inventory + 1 loaded in each tubes (10 total)
	- BA grenades have been removed
	- Stocked BA SRM ammo will be removed when entering in a vehicle driver seat (APC is excluded from this)

	- Weapon changes
		- Flamer: heat damage slightly reduced

	- New weapons:
		- Light Machine Gun (replaces Bear AC)
		- Medium Machine Gun (replaces BA AC2)
		- Medium Grenade Launcher
		- Medium Recoilless Rifle
		- BA pulse laser
	
- Rework of the vehicle interaction system
	- Exiting from any vehicle driver's seat is not possible anymore while the vehicle's engine is running and when the related league mode option is disabled
	- There are 2 ways to leave a vehicle now: hatch escape and ejection sequence. Ejection sequence is available only on vehicles that come with an ejection seat. The ejection seat can only be used once.
		- Vehicles that come with an ejection systes are: Mechs, ASFs and VTOLs
		- Vehicles that DO NOT come with an ejection system are: Tracked and wheeled tanks, Hovercraft, APCs and Long Toms
	- By pressing the interaction ("F" by default) key while the engine is running, the ejection system will be activated, if present and not already used.
	- If the ejection system has already been used or it is not available, a new sequence is triggered in order to exit the vehicle: the hatch escape.
	- Hatch escape can be done anytime (unless league mode prevents it - in that case the vehicle would have to be shut down before), but unlike the ejection is not instant and needs 3.5 seconds in order to be completed. In this sequence, the vehicle will start the shutdown sequence and all the controls will be locked.
	- Shutting down will force the asset to stop, and lock all the controls for the whole duration of the sequence, which is 3 seconds
	- Shutting down during a jump is not possible anymore

- We reworked the heat punishment system, in order to make the whole system easier to deal with. Note that these set of changes are not meant to make the gameplay easier, but to give the auto-shutdown meaning which just used to be a net negative by taking control from the player and still taking all the damage from the heat incurred.	
	- We distinguish 4 different heat levels: safe, danger and overheat and off scale
	- In the safe zone (below the yellow line), the mech will never shutdown nor will take any heat damage
	- Reaching the danger zone (between the yellow and the orange line) only heatsinks will take heat damage. If shutdown override is not engaged, heatsinks will gain a heat damage resistance bonus. It will also make the vehicle visible to enemy radars at any range (heat spike radar penalty)
	- Reaching the overheat zone (over the red line) will cause overheat damage, and applies a different set of penalties. They will be removed 4 seconds after leaving the red line
		- Max speed cut to 45%
		- Weapons, jump jets and MASC / boost are disabled
		- Override will NOT prevent the movement penalties from being applied (weapon lock will be removed if you engage override)
	- If the vehicle takes more than 17.5% of heat damage to its main compoment (center torso / hull), it will start the auto-shutdown sequence.
		- As soon as the shutdown sequence kicks in, the vehicle will gain a 65% protection against heat damage.
		- After an auto-shutdown the vehicle won't be able to power up for 8 seconds.
	- As flying assets don't have an auto shutdown system, they won't be protected by this security system.
	- The shutdown override can be enabled at any time (default: H key), but once enabled it stays active for 60 seconds and cannot be disengaged manually, meaning that it has to be engaged manually every 60 seconds.
	- Vehicle and the heatsinks will always take full damage from overheating when override is active, which can be fatal in the red zone.
	- Single heatsinks will sustain much more heat damage than double heatsinks
	- When reaching the off scale point (900 degrees) the vehicle will immediately shut down.
	
- Selling vehicles is not possible anymore in LastManStanding and SolarisArena game modes
- Mounted turrets now will focus the currently selected target, if it's shootable, rather than engaging the closest one

	- sv_allowPlayerRenaming : Default is 1. If set to 0, players won't be able to rename themselves while playing
	 	- Note that players can still rename themselves by quitting the game and changing the profile name through the launcher
	- sv_logKills : Default is 0, if set to 1, the server will log all the player kills and deaths
- Reverted server tick rate to 30hz
	60hz stresses too much highly populated servers, forcing more updates than the engine was designed to handle. This has likely caused an increase in warping and jittering.

------ GAMEPLAY -------

- Normalized engine damage from back section damage on ground vehicles to 75% from 70% to match mech engine damage threshold.
- Speed penalties for fusion tank engines reduced to 20%/40% speed reduction from 30%/60% reduction. ICE engines reduced to 20%/30%.
- Clan LRM launchers on Clan combat vehicles (tanks/hovers) no longer fire forward but fire at an arc like IS lrms. Forward firing behavior makes sense for clan Mechs which use the close on taraget doctrine. It does not work for clan vehicles which were designed as fire support meant to stay at range. This allows them to fulfill that role much more efficiently.   
- Decreased RAC2 heat from 1.32 to 1.1
- Increased RFL damage to CERSL level from SL level. Increased range to 500m.
- Increased IS LPL shots per burst from 2 to 3 and decreased ROF by 50%. Since IS LPLs lack the range to truly snipe, they now have more frontloaded damage to trade at midrange better. 
- Slightly increased max fuel of ATMs to allow more maneuvering
- Increased LPPC impact effect so it can be seen behind the tracer for better feedback on hit.
- Increased splash and screenshake on LPPC
- Increased inner splash of Longtom shots from 60% of total splash to 80% on all variants.
- Increased radar's target detailed information gathering range from 0.8 times the radar range to the same as the radar range

-------- ASSETS --------

Halved turret yaw speed for Rommel A (Thumper) 

- Atlas -
New Atlas F uses STD fusion engine from XL.

- Huit - 
Improved huit traction to attempt to lessen sliding during turns.

- Anubis - 
Moved some armor from side torsos to arms

- Thanatos - 
Resized torso and arm geometry and hitboxes so that the thanatos is not as assault mech sized. 

---- GAMEFLOW CHANGES -----

- Sell price increased to 65% max of asset from 50%. The hoped for economic effect of reduction to 50% was not observed.

- Decreased maxmium negative score from various sources to help prevent insane negative score bugs
- Mithras base chassis price decreased by 1.5k
- Demolisher base chassis price decreased by 1.2k
- Anubis base chassis price decreased by 1k


---- AUDIO CHANGES ----

- AC2 and 5, HVAC 2, Clan and IS UAC 5, 10 and 20 switched to burst_fire playback, only playing one sound file instead of one file multiple times for increased fidelity and resource savings 
- Increased volume of laser impacts. Volume of HAG impacts lowered to have them more in line with other impacts 
- Slight Chevy engine sound volume increase and made boosting on the Chevy actually audible 
- Sound settings of Clan light, medium, assault reactors tweaked to make the speed governed elements more audible

Version 0.9.3
--------------

--- KNOWN ISSUES - 0.9.3 ---

GAMEPLAY
- If you are lucky, your pulse lasers occasionally will fire an additional laser pulse. Despite being useful in some situations, this is not intended. Sorry! :)
- If you are unlucky, instead, when you're landing in an ASF, sometimes the pilot will die, leaving the asset intact. This, unlike the (now fixed) Runway Fireball Syndrome, though, happens very rarely, so you must be really unlucky for this to happen.
- In the Coupled Unlocked mode, when the reticule is very close to the center of the screen, the torso will stop moving, but the reticule will keep trying to recenter.
- The Oro and Rommel cannot turn while reversing. 
- The Rear Firing Laser auto turret fires when mouse1 is pressed.

GAME SYSTEMS
- Crashes can happen. Workarounds are available in the Troubleshooting guide.
- You might get stuck in the connecting screen. This depends on your ISP, but if that happens, a workaround is available in our Troubleshooting guide.

HUD
- Certain HUD elements might overlap other UI elements.

CONTROLS
- DirectInput Joystick support has been removed due to instability. You can continue using your joystick by following this guide: https://www.reddit.com/r/MWLL/wiki/082joystickguide

--- BUG FIXES ---
- At the first launch, the game should not give you a warning for modified files anymore. If that still happens, workaround is just to restart the game.
- TC_Oasis can be loaded at any graphic settings now.	
- Laser impact particle fixed so impact sound does now play
- TAG no longer plays fire sound on target of the tagging
- Turbine sounds on ASF no longer randomly change in pitch in cockpit but are instead bound to the throttle setting
- Fixed an error in an effects call in CL_Cougar_Mech.xml
- Atlas side torsos on XL engine models now have the correct transfer rate
- Fixed missing left particle bone for standard medium jumpjets

--- GAME SYSTEMS ---
- Gameserver admins now will be able to add maps without having to restart the gameserver by using this console command: map_dir_rescan
- Improved network performance of Thumper ammo
- Attempt to improve general network performance and reduce rubberbanding issues
- Fixed 32 bit client not starting up in some cases
- "Show all objectives" command logic reworked
	- It now acts as a switch, not as a button anymore. Pressing "o" key will show / hide map objectives in the HUD
	- It's disabled by default, but it's possible to load a custom setting by setting "hud_showAllOnScreenObjectives" cvar in the User.cfg file.
- Added server log message when a team runs out of tickets

--- GAMEPLAY CHANGES ---
- ASF based kinetic weapons (UAC10/ UAC5 and RAC5) moved from energy modifier to kinetic-air modifier.
	-These weapons now have a 1.2x modifier against tanks, 1.15x against hovercraft, 1.2x against ASF and VTOL, and 1.15x against Shiva and Xerxes
- 1.4x EMP damage modifier added to ASF to increase damage from PPCs
- Fusion engine based tanks now receive additional damage to internals from destroyed side or rear armor from 1.0x and 1.5x respectively to 1.2x and 1.6x. The Huit since it has a very small engine will only go to 1.1x and 1.5x.
- Hovercraft internal health increased to a factor of 645x10% tonnage from 500x10% tonnage
- Removed transfer rate modifier from the Front armor of Hovercraft into internals, it is now 1.0x from 1.6x
- ASF and Vtol hitpoints per ton of armor reduced by 5%, armor was relocated from outer parts to the body to compensate for the loss, resulting in more fragile parts.
- ASF damage effect changes: 
	-Engines now no longer fail completely when destroyed but go at a fraction of the speed like ground vehicles. 
	-All weapons and bombs attached to wings now fall off if the wing is destroyed. 
	-Wings and Tail loss result in degrading flight performance. If the engine is lost or both wings are lost, the aircraft does not have the lift required to take off again once it lands.
	-Lost parts cannot be repaired.
- All Mech Pelvises now count as Left and Right leg hitboxes split down the middle rather than as CT. AS it makes more sense that hip actuators are being damaged rather than the core which is much further up the mech. This may increase legging as a viable tactic due to legs receiving more average splash damage than before.

--- NEW ASSETS ---
- Mithras Clan Light Tank (25t)
- Anubis Inner Sphere Light Mech (30t)
- Rusalka Inner Sphere Heavy Aerospace (65t)

--- NEW WEAPONS ---
- Air_LBXes: increased pellet spread and added explosive pellets for better performance against ground targets and other ASF. Increased damage against ASF and Vtols.
- Light PPC: fires faster than normal PPCs for half the raw damage allowing for higher single point DPS and suppression, but has less splash and only 450m range. 3 tons. 
- Rear Firing Laser: auto defense laser mounted on the back of the xerxes and shiva giving them some self defense against fighters. 

--- ASSETS ---

- Increased lower pitch limit from -4 degrees to -6 degrees
- Tweaked collusion mesh to help permit side armor skirts getting stuck on terrain

- Long tom Tank -
- Decreased Turret Yaw limits by 10 degrees.

- Epona -
- Removed side armor hitboxes from the sides of the epona cockpit canopy at the front.

Version 0.8.6 - GAMESPY FIX
-----------------------------

------ KNOWN ISSUES ------

GAME SYSTEMS
	- At the first launch, the game might give you a warning for modified files, and therefore crash. Workaround is just to restart the game.		
	- Switching profile might trigger a profile logout, making you unable to see the server list. Workaround is just to restart the game

LAUNCHER
	- All the manual changes made to Server.cfg will be lost if you use the Sever Configuration prompt of the Launcher.
	
GAMEPLAY
	- Pulse lasers occasionally fire an additional laser pulse
	- "Pilot Splat Syndrome": Sometimes, when you're landing, the pilot will die, leaving the asset intact. This, unlike the (now fixed) Runway Fireball Syndrome, though, happens very rarely.
	- In the Coupled Unlocked mode, when the reticle is very close to the center of the screen, the torso will stop moving, but the reticle will keep trying to recenter

HUD
	- Certain HUD elements might overlap other UI elements

SOUND
	- Ballistic and missile weapons readiness sounds play also when the weapon is empty
	- Ballistic and missile readiness sounds will also play on the reload of an ammo ton and may overlap the ammo reload sound
	- Laser readiness sounds will even play when you leave your asset
	- Playback of reload sounds may fail on auto-reload and are outright broken on MRMs for the MRM to function correctly as a weapon
	
CONTROLS
	- DirectInput Joystick support has been removed due to instability. You can continue using your joystick by following this guide: https://www.reddit.com/r/MWLL/wiki/082joystickguide

----- GAME SYSTEMS -----

- Switched to our own custom master server list / GameSpy Login service provider

- We moved to a better folder structure for the handling of the game data

	- In order to do this change, the installer will replace your current "autoexec.cfg" with our custom version, and will delete "server.cfg" and "levelrotation.xml" from the MWLL installation folder. Be aware that modifying this new autoexec file might cause issues.
	- You can use your custom autoexec by renaming it as "user.cfg" and moving to the new client data folder.
	- You can use your custom server configuration by backing it up and moving it to the new server data folder.

	- Client data folder is now My Documents/Crysis Wars/MWLL/Client  
		- This implies that, if you want to use a custom cfg configuration file, you must rename it as "User.cfg", and store it in that folder.
		- This will also be the location of the client logs (not the crash logs)

	- Server data folder is now My Documents/Crysis Wars/MWLL/Server
		- The configuration files (server.cfg, levelrotation.xml) will be loaded from that folder now (unless you start the server using a custom bat script)

	- Due to this new system, changing the user.cfg will no longer affect the actionmapper axis inversion setting.
		- The Actionmapper settings will be saved in Actionmapper.cfg

----- LAUNCHER -----

- The Launcher will log you in automatically now. There is no need to register / log in to Qtracker / Gamespy anymore.
- Fixed Launcher unable to recognize Debug / Release DLLs
- 64 bit mode is the default one
- The Launcher is now able to detect broken profiles and warn you before launching the game

UPDATES
	- New cockpit for the Puma
	- Updated model for the Uller

--- NEW WEAPONS ---

- Cluster bombs: A cluster of 25 bombs. Meant for carpet bombing.

--- GAMEPLAY CHANGES ---

FOV
	- Increased FOV from 60 to 70

WEAPONS
	- Changed unguided splash damage weapons (AC10/20, Hvac10, PPCs) from rocket code to new "explosive bullet" code. This should improve hit detection and may improve detection at high server loads.
	- AC Flak removed.
	- Tightened spread on STD and ER ATMs to prevent random misses against even stationary targets.
	- increased UAC2 and HVAC2 projectile speed to 3500 from 2500
	- HE ATM behavior reworked. 3/6/9/12 fire 1/2/3/4 missiles at a time respectively. Readjusted cone spread and decreased lock on time to 1 second.
	- Tightened burst speed for UAC10
	- Compacted AC5 and UAC5 burst length from 4 bullets to 3.
	- Small Pulse Lasers reworked. Burst increased to 6 shots from 2 and damage increased. Increased range of CSPL.
	- HVAC10 ROF increased to 20 from 17
	- Removed manual tracking on SSRMs to prevent odd star pattern at close ranges.
	- Increased ROF on Tbolts to match LRMs.
	- Long tom Ammos normalized to LongtomFar speed, uses gravity instead for ranges.
	- 8% Damage increase to all X-Pulse classes
	- Removed second laser on Medium laser base defense turrets.
	- ROF of RAC2 on EagleEye reduced to actual RAC2 ROF.

VEHICLES
	- Huit hitboxes reshaped to be more in line with other tanks (harder to hit sides from front)
	- Increased Huit max speed by ~9kph, max reverse speed increased to 33kph from 8kph. Decreased engine penalty for rear armor damage.
	- Slowed transfer rate from front armor to internals on all tanks.
	- Relocated armor from Oro front to Oro turret.
	- Increased reverse max speed of Partisan.
	- Avatar original canon 64KPH engine returned so that its full armor could be restored. No more squishy Avatars.
	- Small armor redistribution on Uziel from side torsos towards Arms and CT.
	- Uller model tweaked, hitboxes reformed, and armor redistributed.
	- Puma Cockpit art added. Hitboxes reworked on Puma to add survivability.

RETICLE
	- Free reticle re-enabled by default (Coupled Unlocked mode)
	- Coupled Unlocked mode has been reworked for increased smoothness
	- Increased responsiveness and torso speed while in Coupled Interactive mode

AEROSPACE
	- Flight model overhaul
		Now the maneuverability of each asset is dynamically calculated. The maneuverability decreases at low and at very high speeds. This means each asset has its own optimal turning speed
		Landing dynamic is more realistic. You'll end up landing with your nose pointed up, like real planes.

	- ASF Taxiing update: If you keep Decrease Throttle pressed, you'll be able to reverse the thrust and move backwards
		Pitching up is not possible anymore when taxiing at low speeds
		Notice that Decrease Throttle works also as an actual brake while landing on a runway.

	- ASF Classes
		The variants of each ASF come in 3 different classes, now:
			- Fighter (unavailable for Shiva and Xerxes): high maneuverability, high armor, high electronics, low price, small weapons. Unable to carry bombs.
			- Attacker: medium maneuverability, medium armor, medium price, medium weapons. Can carry bombs WITHOUT reloads
				This means that buying additional bomb ammos on attackers is not possible, even if you still have free tons available
			- Bomber: low maneuverability, low / medium armor, high price, heavy weapons. Can carry bombs with reloads

	- AirGECM now increases missile lockontime by 2.75x to give VTOLs and low flying ASF some counter against missiles spam.
	- UACs entirely redesigned for superior strafing performance.
	- Gauss charge time for Aircraft (ground are still fire on demand)
	- Missile weapons redesigned for aircraft performance and balance.
	- Small and medium laser classes maxrange increased for aircraft.

VTOLS
	- VTOLs will lose maneuverability while boosting
	- Removed extra damage modifier for missiles and energy weapons against VTOLs.
	- Increased extra damage modifier for Gauss and LBX against VTOLs.

LEAGUE MODE
	- Implemented a new command for league play: C-Bill Button
		This command works only if "sv_leaguemode_givecbills" AND "sv_leaguemode_enable" are BOTH set to 1
		The way it works is that any player who presses the "Home" key in the default key bindings (or types "givemecbills" in the game console and presses enter) will receive 100000 cbills IF the conditions mentioned above are satisfied
		The command will produce a message in the center of the screen, that will be visible only to the player who requested the command if the cvar "sv_cbillmessage_broadcast" will be set to 0 (default value). If "sv_cbillmessage_broadcast", the message will be visible to every player connected on the server.
		Whether "sv_cbillmessage_broadcast" is set to 0 or 1, the usage of the command by any player will always be logged in the server console (if the league setting is enabled)

	- Make heat warning bars on the heat gauge for Mech and Tank HUDs more visible
	- Changed heatsink damage indicators to make them better visible

ASF HUD

--- GAMEPLAY CHANGES ---

We have 2 reticle modes now accessible by default
- The default one will be the "Coupled Fixed" mode, where arm and torso will always be locked in the center of the screen
- Pressing Left Alt will switch to "Coupled Interactive" mode, an enhanced version of the old "Torso Follow mode"
  In this mode, the torso will start following the reticle as soon as you move it away from the center of the screen
	
	
--- DEFAULT KEYBINDINGS CHANGES -----

------ MISC ------

- The height a mech needs to jump from before it stops after touching down has been increased dramatically. Note that this does not affect jumpjets.
- More than 40 camos available for all the ground assets!
- The meaning of cl_free_reticle_independent has been inverted. 0 (default) locks the reticule to the torso, 1 allows independent arm movement
- g_revivetime may now be freely set by the server. It is still advisable that admins keep it above 15 seconds. especially in TC.
- The cheat protection has been improved and the game loading time should be much better now
- Even better loading times thanks to the recompression of PAK files
  This will also save a lot of drive space
- Clients may now set g_commentator to 0 to disable Duncan Fisher commentary during SA & LMS game modes. sv_leaguemode_commentator has subsequently been removed
- Dead players can now chat to the living and vice-versa. This will be disabled if league mode is enabled

------ MAP UPDATES ------

TC_ThunderRift:
- lowered the ceiling near the forward factories to prevent LT-ing from base
- modified the forward factories: now they support assets only until 65 tons

TC_Marshes:
- various small modification/fixes (fixed some clipping object, aligned round fuel tanks near airfield, smoothed terrain on north spawnpoint, modified the position of some smaller buildings etc)
- Center base fix: removed the ground factories and most of the turrets. Two turrets, the two repair bays, and VTOL pad remain. Base weight: 0.5
- Northern central cap point: Added two ground factories with the following assets: light/med/heavy mechs, hovers and tanks (no assaults and LT). No repairs here. Base weight: 0.5
- North east and north west cap points: fixed the behaviour of the turrets, new base weight: 1
- South east and west cap points: new base weight: 1.5
- The base values are shown on the minimap

TC_Taiga:
- Map out of bounds timer increased to 30sec
- Main bases are not capturable anymore
- Center cap area fixed (it was much smaller than the others)
- Small adjustments in cap areas overall
- "Glassy" textures improved - you can still see this odd effect on the textures, but it is not so noticeable now.
- Cappable factories can only build assets up to 65tons

- Fences removed

TC_Altay:
- Repair bay in the infamous center base is gone. Center mechbay can build only hovers and lights hovers.
- Updated minimap with base weights
- Changed the cooling factor on the map: now it is 100% (default), previously it was 200%.
- Changed the weight of the center base from 1.5 to 0.5 - backcap should be more viable now
- Smoothed the terrain near the first southern cap point, so it is easier to use the mountains there as an alternate route.
- fixed the holes in terrain/rocks near SouthWest base
- further cleared the SW base area, so there is more space to move and climb the hills

------ WEAPON CHANGES ------

Pulse Lasers
	- All Standard Pulse lasers shots per burst reduced from 3 to 2 with heat and damage compacted into those 2 shots. (Note: the stray extra pulse is still present and is a complicated issue)
	- Large Pulse laser, Large X Pulse Laser, Clan Large Pulse Laser, range increased to 650, 750, and 850 respectively.
	- Heat on entire large pulse laser class has been decreased, more for LPL and XLPL, less so on CLPL.

PPCs
	- All PPC class functionally reworked. Instead of a single damage source spread evenly across a 3 meter radius, there are now two separate damage sources.
	  First damage source is primary hit location damage (0.5 meter radius) and is 66% of the damage of the shot.
	  Secondary damage source is the final 33% of the damage spread over 3 meters including the hit location.
	  Full damage of 0.7.1 CERPPC was roughly 2600 damage all told, corrected damage is now about 1550 all told, slightly more than a Gauss shot with a little bonus splash mixed in.
	  PPC particle effect now has a refraction trail.

SRM
	- SRMs now have a cone of fire effect rather than all firing perfectly straight forward, the cone will adjust to your approximate distance to target (tighter when far away, more spread out when closer up)
	- SRMs are now vulnerable to LAMS.
	- Damage slightly increased.

SSRM
	- SSRM tracking improved.
	- CSSRM now locks and flies to 450m from 350m.
	- SSRMs are now vulnerable to LAMS.
	- Damage normalized with SRMs.

MRM
	- MRM damage increased to match LRM damage per missile on a 1 to 1 ratio.
	- MRM launcher fire rate now tied to launcher size like LRMs are, smaller launchers will fire quicker.
	- MRMs are now vulnerable to LAMS.

LRM
	- Clan LRM now fires directly at a shallow angle (0.5m cruise altitude). Minimum arming range is ~25m (matching MRMs). CLRMs are now excellent all around closing weapons but inferior at providing support at range, particularly over cover, as per clan doctrine.
	- Decreased tracking ability on CLRM slightly.
	- Lock on time is now tied to launcher size, smaller launchers will lock quicker.
	- Increased lifetime on ELRMs so that they don't explode prematurely when making course corrections near their max range anymore.

Arrow IV
	- Arrows reworked entirely.
	  They are no longer single large damage missiles superior at tracking single targets.
	  Each salvo now fires 4 individual smaller missiles that will spread and blanket a small area around their target.
	  Arrows now come in at a steeper angle and fly higher to circumvent cover better, this has functionally increased their minimum range from ~300m to ~500m.
	  Arrow damage per ton doubled.
	  Exposed Arrow launchers (on mechs) will now explode for heavy damage if destroyed.
	  Single smaller faster targets will now be able to dodge arrows much easier, tightly packed groups will now take much more damage from arrows as they function more like artillery support now.

ATMs
	Standard
	- Fire rate decreased to give lighter assets better chance to dodge them.
	- Slightly increased health vs LAMS.
    - Now identified as ATM (STD)
    Extended
	- Slightly increased health vs LAMS.
	- Higher fire rate compared to Standard. Now on ground assets.
	- Fastest lock time.
    - Now identified as ATM (ER)
	High Explosive (New)
	- Very slow fire rate but very high damage and large explosion.
	- Very vulnerable to LAMS.
	- 300m lifetime and lockon range.
	- Slowest lock time.
    - Now identified as ATM (HE)
	HE ammo is superior at single target suppression but massed SSRMs will do more damage quicker.

Gauss
	- Gauss now explode in mechs with more consistency, only the Fafnir torsos are completely immune to explosions.
	- Increased shots per ton from 10 to 12
    Heavy Gauss
	- Decreased reload time to normalize with Gauss.
	- Now Requires bulky siege pod if ever in a mech arm (Thanatos)
    Improved Heavy Gauss
	- Decreased reload time to normalize with Gauss
	- Increased shots per ton to 6 from 5.
    Light Gauss
	- Now explodes when destroyed (smaller explosion and less damage than Gauss explosion).

UAC20
	- Now fires 3 shots instead of 2, damage per burst remains the same, adjusted shots per ton accordingly.

UAC10
	- Now fire 2 shots instead of 3, damage per burst remains the same, increased shots per ton slightly.

AC10
	- Reworked, again!
	  Now fires a shell with same splash radius and 75% of damage of an AC20 shot but fires 1.5x slower than an AC20. This should finally give it the umph required.

AC5/UAC5
	- Reworked, again!
	  Tightened up burst from 6 shots to 4 shots.
	  Increased damage significantly and slowed down fire rate significantly.
	  Removed all inherent spread.
	  AC5 now deals high damage but has long refire rate (5 second cooldown) this allows it to function as a long range skirmishing weapon akin to a Large laser.
	  UAC5 functions identically but has half the refire rate (2.5 second cooldown).

AC2
	- Reworked to match the AC5.
	  Damage sits more at an AC2.5 than true AC2.
	  Tightened up burst from 8 shots to 6.
	  Now excels as long range sniper weapon but makes inferior AA.
	  Counts as 3 tons from 3.5 tons in build rules.

UAC2
	- Reworked to function uniquely from the rest of the UACs.
	  Now fires a constant stream of bullets making it superior AA and good at wearing down targets caught in the open.
	  Damage close to a UAC3 than true UAC2.
	  Good support weapon but requires time to do damage so poor at skirmishing or brawling.
	  Damage per ton increased.

HVAC2
	- Unique weapon to the Mauler.
	- Functions identically to AC2 but travels to 1500m+ with less shots per ton.

HVAC10
	- Similar damage profile to AC10, slightly less splash damage.
	- Flies faster than an AC10 shot.
	- Max range ~900m.
	- Fewer shots per ton.

Mgun
	- Now has unlimited ammo. (INFINITE POWER!)
	- Will now overheat after 12 seconds of continuous fire and need to cooldown.

LBX
	- LBX2, 5, 10 spread slightly increased to match LBX20 spread at their max ranges.

Thunderbolts
	- Reworked, added some splash damage to fix the weird hit detection issues.
	- Can now lock on manually from 750m, flight lifetime at 1000m.
	- Now on select ground assets.
	- The missiles will track, however they are quite lazy following narc and locks so do not expect to hit a fast target with them unless you are very close or very far.

TAG
	- Increased Vehicle based TAG range to 1300m.

NARC
	- Improved tracking ability and flight pattern of narc missiles.
    - iNARC now last longer

Longtom Artillery overhaul
	- Camera won't pitch up/down anymore, so the predicted impact point will be always visible, no matter how high is the pitch of the cannon
	- There are now three longtom variants, the Prime uses standard ammo, which behaves unchanged from 0.7.1.
	- The A variant now uses short range ammo, which can only fly to ~1200m max and moves slower but creates less heat and chambers faster.
	- The B variant now uses long range ammo, which can now fly to ~2500m max range and moves quicker but creates more heat, chambers slower, and is harder to aim at closer targets.
	- Slightly increased Min/Max pitch angle of cannon by 1 degree.

RAC2
	- Increased max spread.
	- Normalized spinup time with RAC5.
	- Normalized reload time with RAC5.

RAC5
	- Slightly decreased spinup time.

Flak AC2
	- New weapon, high good damage vs aircraft but low damage vs ground forces.
	- 1200m range, functions similarly to fast firing LBX for maximum efficiency against aircraft.

Flak AC5
	- New weapon, functionally similar to AC2 but better damage. 900m range.

Flamer
	- Increased time needed to reach overheat allowing for MOAR BURNINATION.
	- Increased splash damage and area significantly, should allow for increased performance against BA on or near the ground or hiding in cover.
	- Added impact particle.

------ ASSET VARIANT CHANGES ------

	- All of em!
	- Infamous Shiva A and Donar A have been replaced

------ ASSET CHANGES ------

MECHS
	- Armor redistributed from legs towards the rest of the mech on all assault, heavy, medium, and stumpy legged lights (Uller, Puma, Cougar).
	- Armor and internal weights refactored and inconsistencies fixed. This was causing some mechs like the Thanatos, Black lanner, and Blood Asp to be squishier than needed.
	- Fibro Fiborous armor bonus protection honoured where applicable. Many of the lighter mechs were built off the technology and were squisher than needed.
	- Standard Jump jets now have better forward thrust.

ASF
	- Overhaul of ASF flight model.
	  Top speed of all ASFs has been increased.
	  Maneuverability has been tweaked to make flight model less twitchy and smoother.
	  Afterburner is way more powerful now, but it also heat up your asset faster
	  Maneuverability has been rebalanced. Sparrowhawk isn't the supreme air king anymore, and Shiva feels more like an 85T bomber rather than a 1kg RC plane.
	- Sulla A and D have 350XL instead of the default 315XL engine mounted in the other variants. This makes them more suitable for dogfights against Corsairs and SparrowHawks
	- ASF and VTOLs now have a default active radar range of 1500m and passive radar of 1000m, this applies both to their own radar and what range they can be detected at from the ground.
	- ASF/VTOL can no longer detect BA on their radar without the help of a ground based C3 relaying it to them.
	- GECM on aircraft makes them detectable at 999m from the ground rather than 1500m when active, however they are still detectable by other aircraft out to 1500m. (this is an issue with how GECM behaves in the code)

Shiva
	- Materials have been updated; Shiva doesn't look like a mirror anymore.

VTOL
    - Slight tweak of the flight model.
	  Changed mass values and moved the center of the mass to make the flight model smoother and less twitchy
	  Yaw/pitch/roll speeds are unchanged from 0.7.1

Ryoken (Stormcrow)
	- Fix for physicalized weapons (like Gauss) passing through the "cheeks" of the torso.
	- Hit boxes tweaked so that most of the cockpit canopy is CT instead of being thinly sliced between RT, CT, and LT.
	- Some variants now have LAMS.

Chevalier
	- Adjusted splash damage modifiers and transfer rates to counteract sudden death syndrome.

Harasser
	- Adjusted splash damage modifiers and transfer rates to counteract sudden death syndrome.

Hephaestus
	- Adjusted splash damage modifiers and transfer rates to counteract sudden death syndrome.

Warhammer
	- Prime variant now uses a Fusion engine and is the original variant, substantially decreasing its price, it also has lower side torso transfer rates.

Catapult
	- Prime variant now uses a Fusion engine and is the original variant, substantially decreasing its price, it also has lower side torso transfer rates.

Solitaire
	- Improved turn rate.

Avatar
	- Armor redistributed from arms towards side torsos and CT.
	- Now has 360 torso twist.

Uziel
	- Armor further distributed from arms towards side torsos and CT.

Mauler
	- Armor redistributed from arms towards side torsos and CT.

Owens
	- BAP, C3, and TAG are now fixed to the chassis and will always be present on all variants.

Shadowcat
	- MASC and JJs are now fixed to the chassis and will always be present on all variants.

Rifleman
	- Armor redistributed from arms towards side torsos and CT.

Puma
	- Armor redistributed from arms towards side torsos and CT.

Vulture
	- Armor redistributed from arms towards side torsos and CT.

Huit
	- LAMS added to the chassis.
	- Huit now has correctly sized Fusion engine based off podspace and speed. This resulted in the loss of 5.5 tons of podspace and nearly half the speed. (The Huit was WAY too fast before, sorry)

Longtom
	- Now has correct armor and internals.
	- Drastically reduced boost heat buildup.

Partisan
	- Added LAMS to turret
	- Partisan "F" has Fusion engine to achieve superior speed, its base chassis price is substantially higher.

Oro
	- Increased max pitch value to 65 degrees. The Oro was originally an AA tank for the clans in CBT, this should help it with that.

Awesome
	- Increased turn rate.

------ GAME FLOW CHANGES ------

	- Counted armor into base chassis price rather than as independent value to avoid weird prices.
	- There are now 8 C-bill modifiers instead of 4, instead of a 20% +/- modifier to cbills earned it is now 10%.
	  The tiers are as follows:
	   Harasser=1, Hephaestus=1, Hawkmoth=1, SparrowHawk=1, Apc=1, Osiris=1, Solitaire=1,
	   Chevalier=2, Donar=2, Raven=2, Owens=2, Uller=2, Chimera=2, Ares=2
	   Puma=3, Cougar=3, Partisan=3, Corsair=3, Sulla=3, HollanderII=3, Uziel=3,
           Blacklanner=4, Bushwacker=4, Shadowcat=4, Epona=4, Rifleman=4, Catapult=4, Oro=4, BA=4
	   Ryoken=5, Thor=5, Loki=5, Vulture=5, Warhammer=5, Thanatos=5, Visigoth=5 ,Avatar=5,
	   Madcat=6, Novacat=6, Demolisher=6, Awesome=6, Shiva=6, Mauler=6, Huitzilopochtli=6,
	   Masakari=7, Morrigu=7, Atlas=7, MadcatMKII=7,
	   LongTom=8, Fafnir=8, Daishi=8, Bloodasp=8

	- Increased BA death ticket cost from 1 to 2.
	- Revamped equipment and chassis costs, whereas before it was around 20% chassis and 80% equipment it is now closer to 50/50.
	- Restructured rank money to provide new assets in a smoother and more logical manner.
	- Increased rank requirements across the board to prevent ranks being skipped entirely.
	- Moved the Rifleman, Catapult, Loki, and Vulture to medium mech build bays, anywhere you can build mediums you can now build these.
	- Moved the Chevalier, Ares, and APC to hovercraft build bays, anywhere you can build hovercraft you can now build these.

------ HUD CHANGES ------

HUD
	- Night vision is an actual night vision now. It's green, and amplifies light way better than before.
    - Paperdolls V2: the internal and the armor paperdolls have been merged in a single big paperdoll
	  The big external one shows the armor status of each component
	  The internal one is a bit smaller, and it shows internal status of each component (internal system is currently implemented only for mech legs)
	- Health bars have been merged as well, in the same way as the paperdolls.
	- Consistent L / R component inversion of damage readuts: always inverted for targets, always uninverted for self damage readout
    - Crosshairs are actual crosses now, no more weird symbols around
    - Remove some other useless weird symbols and useless lines around the HUDs
    - Moved heading and pitch indicator on the top of the aiming reticles
	- Weapons naming in asset HUDs have been changed in order to achieve better readability (Dual Streak SRM-6 instead of DSSRM6, LB 10-X AC instead of    LBX10 etc..)
	- "HEAT LEVEL CRITICAL" message has been moved above the aiming reticle for better readability
	- "HEAT LEVEL CRITICAL" message now will appear as soon as the heat gauge goes over the yellow line, not the red one
	- Damage readouts of the components in tank HUDs have appropriate colors (green at 100% and yellow at about 70%, as in the mech HUD)

BA HUD
	- Battle Armor pilots, now you finally can enjoy having a compass!
	- Improved visibility for BA SRM2 reloading status

Misc HUD
	- There is no "Clan" writing for Clan weapons anymore because it's obvious. We do not allow mixtech, so if you are in a Clan asset, you are using Clan weapons.
	- Buy Menu HUD is showing tonnage, weight class and tech for each asset now
	- Loadout menu shows available camos by categories now
