[17-May-2026 19:28]   Announcements
Patch 2.26.13 Applied:
Pushed this out a couple days ago and never got around to posting the announcement. So a couple days but, but details of what's included are as follows:

Fixes
  • Fixed an issue where the unit designer nor the unit listings were not functioning.

Changes
  • Changed how semi-private units can be viewed to allow for a greater amount of privacy. Previously anyone could view a semi-private unit if they guessed the unit id, which is not overly private and defeated the original intent of that option. Semi-private units now have a token associated with them that will be part of the URL. Members who created the design will be able to view the design with the token and can then copy that URL.

NOTE: Any forces or units impacted by the above fixes and/or changes have had their stats recalculated to ensure accuracy.

================================================================================================
Overview:
    As the DCMS called for a new calvary tank in 3025 Scarborough Manufacturers answered with
    their first non-hover vehicle: the tracked Wild Weasel Light Tank.

Capabilities:
    Scarborough made the uncommon decision to use a rare fusion engine to design a light and
    fast tank with a heavy weapon.
    Due to that fusion engine the 25 ton tank can achieve a maximum speed of 97 kph in open
    terrain and 119 kph on roads.
    The Wild Weasel carries an unexpected heavy type of weapon: a single
    turret mounted PPC. The minimum range can pose a problem but the designers thought it fast
    enough to keep its distance.
    The armor isn't that massive but was considered sufficient.

Deployment:
    Scarborough only delivered a small series of 40 vehicles to the DCMS and some mercenaries
    deemed worth it.

Variants:
    Some vehicles that survived the 4th Succession War were modified with new technology.
    An ER large laser and two heat sinks replaces the PPC to gain range and negate the minimum
    range  at the cost of some firepower.
    The turret was lightened and 5 tons of the new ferro-fibrous armor now protect its frame.
