World War Two Online - Closed Beta

================================

Version 1.30.0.19 (04-27-2009)

Vehicles:

- All tanks should reward a kill for detracking both sides in cases where you destroyed the suspension as well, indicated by striking and destroying either the idler or the drive sprockets (the big wheels at each end) but will not award kills where you just destroy the tracks by not hitting the idler or drive sprockets

- All trucks, armoured cars and half tracks will award kills for collapsing one side of the vehicles suspension. This will be indicated by all wheels/tracks on that side being destroyed. These vehicles will no longer be able to "drive around on 3 wheels" meaning they will be disabled unlike how they have been in the past.

- Tank commanders that can be exposed should now die to shots that some appeared invulnerable to in past beta builds. They weren't actually invulnerable they just took too much damage before being killed.
