d. Fixed Asset Changes in .9

• Added new Foxholes with better construction and protection against artillery and high explosives
• Added new Anti-Tank Guided Missile (ATGM) emplacements, limited to 3 placed at once

• Changed Forward Outposts build rules, they can now be built 200m apart (decrease from 300m)
• Changed Forward Outposts build rules, they now only require one supply crate to build (decrease from 2)
• Changed all deployable assets (HMG, AA, TOW, Foxhole, Wire) build rules, they now require two supply crates to build and can now be placed up to 200m from the Forward Outpost (increase from 150m)
• Changed deployable asset maximum amount of assets deployable per map for a team (3 TOWs, 12 AAs, 24 HMGs). For AAs and HMGs is more than they can actually place, but still a limitation just in case it gets too much for the server to handle

• Changed Rally Points, they are now limited to only one placement before needing to be "rearmed"
• Changed Rally Points, they now get "rearmed" by the Squad Leader getting close (within 20 meters) to a Forward Outpost, Command Post or Supply Depot

b. Movement
c. Listening and Observation Mode
