Update 3.1 incoming!

tl;dr for Xbox:
-- AMX 30 and 30b mediums: They branch off at the 13 90, so if
you're like me and have avoided French lights past the ELC
because you don't like auto loaders, now is the time. These
things will give the Leopards a run for their money.
-- New maps: Erlenberg Blizzard and Steppes Sandstorm: VISION
AND RADIO RANGES ARE AFFECTED! Like, you'll be 150 meters from
an enemy before they appear. I predict this is going to piss off
a LOT of folks who love to camp because you simply can't. It's
actually pretty damn cool, IMHO, as you can now drive on the
water because it's ice. (NOTE: DO NOT TRY TO GO UNDER THE MIDDLE
OF THE CENTER BRIDGE! Your tank will get stuck. Trust me.)
-- Revamped Dragon Ridge: This is a HUGE change to the map and
actually makes it playable. Seriously. They made what appear to
be really good changes, though time will tell how it works on
the live server. On test, I was quite happy and impressed.

Those weather effect maps are going to cause so very, very much
rage from a lot of people.
I don't mind the limited view range -- I play a lot of lights,
so I'm used to rounding a corner, only to find half the enemy
team. :bigsmile:
Many folks, however, are not. They're not going to like it much.

Most lamenting will come from TD and Light players. Much like
the wailing heard from Arty when they spawn in Himmelsdorf.

TD players when they first get one of those maps and realize
they have no view range, nor the ability to see enemies at a
distance due to limited radio range:

I am very much looking forward to playing these maps on the live
server. They change the entire way you play and if you don't
adjust chances are you're going to do poorly. If on the other
hand you do adjust, even in a TD, you can have a big impact on
the outcome.
