• AAS32: Replaced T-72S1 with T-72. Replaced Boragh with BTR-60.

Why did the MEC get nerfed so hard? T90 is going to have a field day against the t72. Haven't played much lately, but from what I remember, MEC was already struggling against the Russians.

Its meant to say T72S, sorry. So in fact MEC got buff as the T72S has ATGM.

The big question now is which LOD settings are best for spotting enemies in vegetation.

The issue has been resolved. Just restart PR to have the Update finish correctly.

If I tick the LOD settings on will that give me more or less FPS?

less. Especially the disabling vegetation LOD might cause issues on forest maps for weak GPUs. Terrain and statics should be fine for most users with dedicated graphics card. Those with integrated graphics should not enable any.

Wouldn't those of us with monster GPUs potentially get an FPS improvement by disabling LODs since the CPU doesn't have to swap models/textures all the time ?

This is likely to be irrelevant as the CPU needs to load more textures for the high quality lod than for the lower quality ones. Also for vegetation and terrain the CPU will still check for LOD switch distances, we just increased them to be bigger or equal to maximum level view distance.
I recommend anyone that wants to use the increased LOD distance on vegetation to test some forest maps in local before hopping on server. It may turn out to become unplayable for you.

Wasn't fun. It rewarded bush camping and incited boring gameplay.
