January 2024 update on AMC Squad (Annex C of 19):
As always, work continues on episode 5, while significant efforts continue to improve and enrich overall experience.
Enemy projectiles
Hitscan opponents rejoice! All enemies now fire projectiles instead of hitscan bullets (with few minor exceptions). What this means in practice: previously enemy bullets fired instantly upon reaching their target; while there may have been inaccuracy built-in, being attacked from any given direction was extremely hard even with damage direction indicators; no longer though; you will always know exactly where enemy fire comes from even if you cannot avoid it and avoid situations shared with Blood where enemy hitscanners could instantly kill as soon as entering any given room when entering on low health - as this situation no longer happens and when entering any room or environment when entering or leaving!
Airdrops and Airstrikes
Building airfields has been dramatically updated; you now can dynamically order both airdrops and airstrikes within any mission that utilizes an airfield, provided there are 30 supplies available - supply barrels can now also help replenish them regularly! To take full advantage of these abilities regularly.
Allies
Considerable effort has gone into expanding alliacies; not only have HUD updates made it more user-friendly, but support has been added for far more helpers than before. With certain research abilities increasing how many allies you have available; when combined with artifacts or Highwire's ability to command one additional ally beyond the default 3, these combinations could enable up to 8 allies.
Research Projects Many enemies previously without research projects now possess them - returning players will find the Bestiary especially helpful as it will now show which enemies must be attacked to acquire details for specific research projects.
