L5

http://www.eagames.com/official/battlefield/vietnam/us/editorial.jsp?src=community_update_15

pretty big 135 mb. Guess there were a lot of bugs :rolleyes:


Fixes:

Disappearing/duplicate missiles bug fixed. This was especially prevalent with the Mi8.
Fixed bug where NVA mobile tunnel spawns wouldn't appear for some players.
Punkbuster button is easier to see, and easier to select.
Multiple VO messages at connection time fixed.
Selecting the current weapon from the weapon menu will close the menu.
Splash physics against soldiers fixed. They now react with the appropriate force when a tank shell explodes nearby.
lowered 44 Magnum rate of fire to better sync with the animation.
Free camera prediction moved to client side to give smoother control.
Removed splash physics from friendly explosions when Friendly Fire is off.
Airlifting Tango no longer repairs/rearms helicopter.
Vehicles on Tango won't float in the air when Tango moves.
Can no longer deploy Pungi Sticks when in an armed passenger position (they would float around the vehicle).
Can no longer deploy Claymores when in armed passenger position (they would explode).
Certain static object exploits fixed.
Fixed potential exploit involved with altering video settings.
AI shooting teammates has been lessened.
AI visibility is now properly blocked by overgrowth/undergrowth.
BALANCE/GAMEPLAY TWEAKS
Jeeps take less damage in water.
Jeep top speed and torque increased.
Helicopter bullet damage decreased against light vehicles and air vehicles.
The ability to track air targets was lowered for vehicle mounted heatseekers.
MUTT tow rocket changed to a heat seeker. Reload time increased, ammo count decreased.
Cobra heatseeker rate of fire decreased.
Increased destabilization of Cobra when no driver, making it harder to switch to the 2nd position to fire heatseekers.
Slightly reduced Cobra hitpoints.
M60 damage vs. helicopters increased.
LAW and RPG damage vs. helicopters significantly increased.
Vehicle resupply radius of ammoboxes increased from 3 to 8 meters.
BM21SAM minimum firing pitch angle lowered.
BM21SAM Rate of fire doubled, but now contains 4x10 round magazines with a long reload.
Increased ammo count of M46 from 30 to 50 rounds.
Replaced static crosshair with animated one in all mounted MG's.
Lowered minimum pitch of all tank turrets as much as possible.
Kit speeds adjusted so Scouts are fastest, Heavy Assault slowest.
Falling damage when going down stairs reduced.
Flaming Dart air towers are less vulnerable to explosives and mortar attacks.

NEW CONTENT AND FEATURES
**Maps and Vehicles**
Defense of Con Thien is a head to head battle across the DMZ separating North and South Vietnam. Defense of Con Thien features 3 new vehicles:

* OH-6 Loach is a scout helicopter used by the USMarines. It's fast and agile, armed with chain guns and can be used to spot for artillery strikes.
* Ka-25 'Hormone' is an attack helicopter used by the NVA. It carries chain guns and heat seeking missiles, and also benefits from the addition of radar in the nose.
* Stationary M60 emplacements with infinite ammo.

The Rusian chopper is sweet, very stable and pretty much a cobra. It has twin roters one on top of the other (counter rotating)

The american one (id call it a little bird dont know its offical name) is very very nimble i rolled it over on takeoff by pitching forward on take off. Very quick and manoverable.

Cannt wait to play on Navan/Cavan

New American Chopper

There are jeeps with no weapons now as well as the het seeker jeeps.

Any word on Navan/Cavan update?

Rew

Saw Rev logged in here earlier I assume he is grabbing the patch atm, downloads from EA are crawling atm as well.

Rew

Got a hit on that mirror from New York City, any New Yorkers here?

Lucutus

Navan is updated, Cavan will be left 'till tomorrow.

Problem with the server manager means the new map isn't in the rotation.

Hopefully we can get it in there tomorrow.
