Game servers still down. Reddog, Cono, one of you dudes hit me on the phone if it comes back up and I ain't there. Looking to see what kind of cool shit they are talking about. Let's have some fun with it.

Patch up 57mb. The readme is here:

- British Lancaster bomber added
- French LeO 451 bomber added
- German He111 bomber audited to reduce effective bombload
- German FW190 audited to reduce ability to kill DB7s

Hee hee... I wonder how many people blow themselves up working this one out...

Bouncing Grenades:
- Added the ability for non impact detonating grenades to bounce
- Added variable throwing strength to grenades
-- Maximum throw is at 2 seconds hold down
-- Minimum throwing strength is 25%

Here's something else...

Supply:
- When a CP has no factory link, initial delivery of vehicles (trickle timer, e.g. recapping the AB) will take 3x longer, and complete delivery will take up to 4x longer

Scoring:
- Significantly increased scoring for bomber aircraft which damage factories and bridges and RTB
- Slight increase in scoring for bomber aircraft which damage factories and get RESC

And...

- Added the ability to set a custom hud arrangement
- The Y key now cycles between default, custom and none HUD variants

Thing I'm most interested in is the link to the factory. Does that now mean we can take the CP in a city behind an active attack and reduce supply as long as we own it? What about destroying a cp behind a town, the one that links to the new town. Does that reduce supply? There is some reason this is in the readme. I think we should start blowing up the cp in a rear town, that attaches to a town we attack.

In Rat terms a CP is a town. A co is the cp. :shock:

The 1.25.1 second patch of the day is frag'd as well. Both the original patch and the CTD patch are fubar. They are working on it now. Stay tuned.
