• Terrain difficulty increased, vehicles are slower in forests.

Ground Vehicle Movement

• All Vehicle Movement Reduced 25% Base, Tracked 35% reduction in forest
  
• Vehicle road bonus reduced to 60%
  
• All vehicles accelerate and decelerate 50% slower
  
• Tracked vehicles rotate 35% slower

New Vehicle Damage Model
New HP-based damage model that applies to ALL GROUND VEHICLES AND HELICOPTERS:

Normal Light Medium Heavy Abandoned
HP 100% 80-50% 50-25% 25-10% 10-0%
Accuracy - -10% -25% -50% BAILED OUT
Movement - -20% -40% -60% BAILED OUT

• Vehicled will become abandoned at 1HP, gaining the effects of the "Bailed Out" Critical (unable to spot, move, or be selected)
  
• [TEMPORARILY DISABLED FOR BUGFIXING] You may capture and repair the enemy team's abandoned vehicles, if you can secure the area.
  
• You can fix this with a supply vehicle by bringing it back above one health again.
  
• To destroy abandoned vehicles (your own or enemy), use the Fire Position (T by default), with something that can damage it.

Plane Movement - General

• Plane Agility increased 30% overall
  
• Planes can now pitch up and down at greater angles
  
• Planes now evac at steeper angles
  
• Planes can now dive after their targets at steeper angles

Plane Movement - Altitude Overahul

• High Altitude Bombers and LGB Planes can now fly (mostly) outside of the range of IR AA and AAA
  
• Dive Bombers now fly in and evac at treetop level to avoid heavy AA
  
• SEAD, Medium Altitude Bombers, Rocket Planes, and AT Planes will now Evac at low altitude instead of pulling upwards into AA

SEAD Rebalance

• 30% Vision Range for Radar AA
  
• 15% Missile Range

Plane Vision

• SEAD, AT, and Rocket Planes Have some limited ground vision

Radar AA Changes

• +100% Radar AA Plane Vision
  
• +50% Radar AA Plane Vision
  
• +50% Identification Strength

Helicopter Overhaul

• Helicopter Stun effect replaced:
  
• Instead of getting "Stunned" and spinning helplessly in enemy fire, helicopters will now Rout when their Stun is triggered.
  
• This hopefully gives the chance for the helicopter to back itself up, simulating a pilot desperately trying to leave the area.
  
• Still disables weapons momentarily, so gameplay wise serves the same purpose.
  
• Additionally, should give the AI a better chance to successfully use choppers.

Helo Movement Overhaul

• +50% Helo Acceleration and Deceleration
  
• Faster Turn Rate
  
• Greater Maneuverability
  
• Flatter flight (less swinging around and throwing off the aim for small adjustments)
  
• Helicopters can now fire rocket pods on the move much easier, enabling legitimate strafing runs

Rocket Pod Rebalance

• Rocket pods have much higher dispersion
  
• Rocket Pods have a more circular dispersion shape (experimental)

New Infantry Suppression System:

• Infantry now become pinned down by enemy fire before routing, becoming unable to fire but gaining a strong defensive bonus.
  
• If they continue to take fire while pinned, they will Rout
  
• High Cohgesion -> Engaged -> Worried -> Stressed -> Shaken -> Pinned -> Rout
  
• When an infantry unit is wiped out, it deals morale damage to other nearby units. Try to avoid letting your infantry squads die all the way.

  AI Changes

[HIGHLY EXPERIMENTAL] AI TWEAKS

• Changed attacking troop composition to include more infantry and have a greater chance of bringing AA
  
• Changed airstrike composition to enable strike groups potentially including SEAD aircraft
  
• Edited AI aircraft risk calculations to account for better plane survivability
  
• Changed artillery priority targeting to better target valuable units and offer area suppression
