June 7th, 2016 (second update)

 * New class: Hybrid, branches off Destroyer

June 7th, 2016 (first update)

 * We’ve tweaked how bullet penetration works
 * New unnamed class, branches off Destroyer
 * Nerfed Stalker fade-out time

June 6th, 2016

 * We’ve tweaked how bullet penetration works:
 * Bullet penetration is (and has always been) bullet health
 * Before: Bullets would always deal their entire damage, even if they had little health left
 * After: Bullets now deal a proportional amount of damage if they’re about to die while dealing that damage
 * This has some deep changes in how bullet penetration plays out in a few scenarios, so let us know what you think
 * It should make bullets behave more fairly when two players have different penetration values
 * This change actually affects anything that deals damage on touch, be it tanks or drones. It also means that body damage also decreases damage taken
 * Thus we have also adjusted some other values in the game to offset this change
 * New unnamed class which branches off Destroyer

June 5th, 2016

May 29th, 2016

 * We’ve added support for different game modes

History

 * The game was never officially updated in October 2016, December 2016, January 2017, and presently April-November 2017.
 * The changelog was introduced on May 18th, 2016.
 * In addition to the November 19th update, there was also an update with it. It’s logged as “Players can now assume control of turrets built on top of other tanks in their team by pressing H.” This part of the update was removed shortly after due to the ability to gain control of one’s own Auto Turret via Multi-boxing.
 * In addition to the March 9th update, there was also an update with it. It’s logged as “Stat maximized has been removed (since the above change is better than it)”. This part of the update was removed shortly.
