ADDON FEATURES
-
3x Decal options switchable in EDEN Attributes:
- Royal Navy,
- Royal Marines
- Generic - As requested by several Dutch Community members
- NV/Thermal Obs camera in Commander's turret
- 2x Firing-From-Vehicles Turrets (Personnel Version only).
- Option to open/close covers in EDEN attributes (Personnel Version only).
- ViV can transport vehicles upto 12,000kg
- De-Beaching Option - You will inevitably beach this at some point. If you don't have another vehicle to push it back this will save you. In the Driver's position at 0Kph you will see an option appear "De-beach" - this gives you a short shove backwards. Repeat as necessary until you are afloat again.
PLANNED FOR THE FUTURE
- Improved and More structured damage.
- Fixed gun mounts on the fore deck.
- Several other skins.
