Why hello there, are you enjoying the weekly updates. Well I sure hope you are. Lets kick this blog off by talking about whats coming.

What's Coming

     The scheduled update tomorrow will offer much content and create a much more "explosive" experience for players. You might have Guessed it, but yes, explosives will be making there way back onto the battlefield into the hands of the American's Marine MARSOC specialist, the Russian's Spetsnaz 104th Explosive Specialist, and the hands of those pesky Taliban. How do they compare to the last explosives. Well I know the last set of explosives broke your heart with its terrible drop off. These explosives are not 100% accurate but they do have the range to get the job done. Can they 1 tap tanks so we can t-bag them yelling "MLG pro get gud." Negative. While the explosives do have good range,  you will be sacrificing damage. If you want a kill on a tank, you will have to aim for either the top or back of the tank to deal the most devastating damage in each shot. So for those tank crew men out there, you are not completely doomed, but you are certainly vulnerable so watch your 6!

     The radio system is also getting the upgrade it deserves! Yes, the new radio system will be better than the last in every single way. How? Well, to name a few, you will no longer be limited to 3 to 4 channels. The new radio system uses frequencies similar to how a real radio would work. The frequencies will be limited to the faction so you don't have to worry about the enemy listening or snooping on your communications. The radio also sounds better and provides a little static but not too annoying. Some minge on the server yelling unforeseen words over radio. Simple, call staff. No radio system can fix that. The radio can not fix your communication either, so make sure your are engaging and taking advantage of the radio system. 

     One last part of the update you may notice is there will now be a visual and audio effect for when your health is low. As your health becomes lower, the effect will become more apparent. Your screen will become a gradient of red and grey and your sound will become a little distorted when extremely low. Medics, you better get ready for the storm coming your way. Do not become too alarmed as the effect will not completely cripple you after taking a little damage but you will want to be a little more aware.

Bugs & Changes

     Commands will no longer be logged in plogs. Why? Well it is mainly for optimization purposes. How? Well WAC makes a command for every single movement of pilot of the aircraft's mouse and keyboard which is a lot! Normally, this would not be much of a problem but because plogs keeps and creates a log of all of the commands, it creates a tremendous amount of lag on the server. 

     I am happy to say that bug section is clean for now. All of the bugs on the server that were reported on the forums were fixed or will be in the next update. Did I miss one? Probably so. Report it on the forums and I will make sure it is fixed as soon as possible!

The Future

        We are really getting ready to kick off #Mil-tober, so get spook-cited cause it's going to get scary. Nothing can scare me. Well I have some scary bosses whom you may encounter on the battlefield that would like to show you otherwise. We also have some special events in store keeping up with the scary theme of things. Make sure to participate for your chance at the Gaminglight Halloween tag in the teamspeak.

     Although I will go more in depth in the next development blog, I will talk a little about what you can expect in the next updates. First I will say, Airmen, get ready. It is about time we bring back the importance of air superiority with an all needed upgrade. Marines, it is time to take charge and control the battlefield. Your gonna get the needed tools and vehicles to do exactly that. Reconnaissance is key right?

     Being honest. I want to be as transparent with the community as possible which starts with communication. You may have noticed things like surveys and even this development blog. Why? Well I want to do everything I can to make sure that this server is what the entire community wants it to be. Expect to see more so make sure to respond to the surveys and subscribe to these blogs!

Thank you for reading,

     Manager John
