Refinement of the aircraft damage models on the example of Su-25 and А-10А
We received feedback from players about possible problems with damage models of the top attackers Su-25 and A-10A. Now we will tell you about what problems we found and how we solved them.
“Repair Factory”
In the “Mobile Infantry” event you got a good look at exo-suits in intense urban battles. The battles will continue and the battlefield is littered with spent exo-suits - battered, damaged, inoperable. It’s a good time to get behind the scenes and help them get back to action. Prepare some combat-ready exo-suits and get exclusive vehicles in return!
