Full Changelog: 2.6.0...2.6.1
Happy days! A new version of Arma and a new version of LAMBS Danger.fsm.
Our extensive summer development branch/break (bréåux) has concluded, and we’re happy to update the main version. This release brings numerous enhancements to squad-level and vehicle-level tactics.
Significant improvements have been made to how AI understands and uses vehicles. Expect to see armored vehicles employ smoke launchers more aggressively and utilize simple fire-team tactics for flanking and assaulting squads. Dismounted infantry is more aware of its role as a screen for armored vehicles and a tool to clear nearby buildings. While this feature isn’t perfect, it is considerably better than before.
There is a long list of bug fixes (such as preventing AI from suppressing useless positions or dismounting when they ought not to or forgetting to clear CQB positions). Infantry path and stance selection has also been improved. Oh, and as a fair warning… MLRS artillery connected to the dynamic artillery system is… scary. Good luck out there!
As always, the team is very thankful to our contributors and would like to extend special thanks to @rekterakathom, @LordGolias, @Augustakit, and @rautamiekka.
