  • Added back EOR sound for SQDM and TDM
  • You should no longer be able to damage a friendly vehicle when sitting in an open position

  • Fixed a swim sound loop error
  • Increased the damage of Helicopter Miniguns, AA guns, and Jet Cannons against infantry
  • Increased the damage of Helicopter Miniguns against jeeps.
  • Reduced the physics impact of AA guns and Jet Cannons, players under attack from these weapons should no longer lose control.
  • Increased the damage of the 44 Magnum slightly.
  • Increased the range and minimum damage of the .357 Round from the MP412 Rex.

Server Update Highlights

  • User Profile and Stats pages on Battlelog can now be accessed without being signed in to Battlelog if you know a user’s URL

MikeDoSul The changes don't seem to be very noticeable, other than decreased system stability (at least on my end.)

Probably a good time to check your accounts and change your passwords...
Happy Veteran's Day from Clan Rangers

For those fighting the good fight, be safe and come home soon.
