2026. 08. 24. Changelog:
AI Airborne Assault – Reworked & Improved
The Airborne Assault system has been heavily reworked to make it more reliable and consistent during gameplay.
Several issues from the previous version have been fixed, including problems with helicopter spawning, paratrooper deployment, parachute behavior, landing, and squad regrouping.
The number of paratroopers has been increased, and their behavior after jumping has been improved so they spread out better, steer toward their landing area, regroup after landing, and continue the attack more naturally.
The helicopter and mission flow have also been made more stable, with additional safeguards to prevent events from getting stuck if something goes wrong.
Configuration values have been updated as well, including a wider spawn interval range and revised default settings.
Overall, this version should provide a much smoother and more dependable airborne assault experience.
Credits
