Update 0.47

release date December 13th, 2021.

## New Content

* T8 "Gemini"
	+ Class: Armoured Car
	+ Faction: Colonial
	+ Fitted with twin RPG launchers, the T8 employs hit-and-run assaults against enemy structures and emplacements.

* O'Brien V.113 Gravekeeper
	+ Class: Armoured Car
	+ Faction: Warden
	+ A slight variation of the V. 110, the Gravekeeper comes fitted with an embedded bonesaw launcher, transforming the humble armoured car into an effective indirect anti-armour vehicle.

* Four New Tripod Weapons
	+ Malone Ratcatcher Mk.1
		- Class: Mounted Machine Gun
		- Faction: Warden
		- Early iterations of this machine gun were built to be emplaced in the bunkers and on the decks of lightly armed warships, the Ratcatcher is Harvey Malone's first freely mountable infantry weapon designed for field use. Just like its predecessors, this heavy weapon suppresses enemy soldiers with unmatched efficiency.
	+ Lamentum mm.IV
		- Class: Mounted Machine Gun
		- Faction: Colonial
		- Build on the bones of the first automatic weapons introduced to the Legion, the "Lamentum" mm.IV is still quite an intimidating force to encounter on the battlefield. Boasting a large magazine and impressive active range, this mounted machine gun excels at laying down consistent suppressive five.
	+ Cutler Foebreaker
		- Class: Mounted RPG Launcher
		- Faction: Warden
		- This unique dual barreled RPG launcher can fire two RPG shells in relative quick succession. This increase in firepower makes it nearly impossible for a single soldier to operate without the support of a sturdy mount.
	+ "Typhon" ra.XII
		- Class: Mounted Anti-Tank Rifle
		- Faction: Colonial
		- This mounted anti-tank rifle boasts improved accuracy over its free-standing counterparts. The Typhon was specifically designed with shock absorption in mind, allowing for faster, more consistent firing patterns.

* Ahti Model 2
	+ Class: Pistol
	+ Faction: Warden
	+ Standard issue Warden pistol. Designed by a Nevish gunsmith, the Ahti Model 2 is a reliable sidearm that any soldier should feel proud to carry.

* Field Bridges
	+ An extendible platform of metal that can be built over, and onto, the water. The Field Bridge's main battlefield role is to cross difficult terrain and give infantry greater flexibility. Their rapid deployment comes at a cost of structural stability, exercise caution if attempting to cross with a vehicle that exceed the bridge's weight tolerances.

* Copper and Tech Tree Changes.
	+ A new technology resource acquired by mining salvage with a harvester. With the same base mechanics as iron and aluminum: this resource is used to research end tier vehicle options.
	+ The vehicle tech tree is now split between early vehicles (iron) and late tech tree vehicles (copper). The spawn rates of these resources will change based on the phase of the war.
	+ Overall tech drop rates have been balanced to accommodate for the addition of Copper and Prototype changes.

* New Binoculars
	+ The binoculars asset has been updated.

## New Features

* Cinematic Camera Mode
	+ This new camera mode can be entered by holding ctrl and scrolling with the mouse wheel. Zoom in to get up and personal with cinematic camera angles. Once combat begins: aim with the right mouse button to automatically returned to the tactical camera.
* New Universal Halftrack Mount Points
	+ The Colonial Javelin, Hoplite, and Warden Niska half-track variants may now have their weapon cycled out for any tripod mountable weapon that suits the situation. Additionally the rear passenger area has been expanded to accommodate four passengers.
* Trenches and Bunkers Husk Improvements
	+ Destroyed trenches and bunkers are no longer rendered irrelevant on the battlefield upon destruction. These destroyed structures retain their shape, to a degree, allowing infantry to take cover and exploit the original bunker layout.
	+ Visually the bunker and trench husk assets have also been updated for greater variety between destroyed sections.
* Player Activity Logs
	+ By interacting with players through the player list or by alt clicking on them an activity log report may be viewed. The information provided will be based on that players contribution for the current war and includes the following statistics.
		- Enemy and friendly player damage.
		- Enemy and friendly structure and vehicle damage.

		- Repair total.
		- Healing total.
