OPERATIONS CHANGES:
Going forrard nosotros are addressing the balance issues with the Operations game manner. It's clear that attackers need a boost. To increase the effectiveness of the attacking squad, we are increasing the overall tickets for both Operations & G Operations. In addition, we are besides making it somewhat easier to capture sectors as an aggressor past reducing the corporeality of time information technology takes to capture a flags in Operations & Grand Operations. We've also increased the minimum tickets regained in thou operations to from 30 to 50, every bit well as increased the amount of tickets regained from killing retreating defenders.

To solve this nosotros've reduced the capture size of these areas to include less buildings. The result of this should make the flags somewhat easier to capture and make sure that a squad that has lost and been pushed out of the villages tin easier re-capture them and go back into the fight. In improver, to help a team that has been pushed back all the fashion to their HQ, we've added an armored auto that players can utilize to break out of the HQ and flank the opposing team.
