Devlog #3: New Factions, Tank Units

Today’s build brings two brand‑new factions, a fresh lineup of heavy hitters, and a streamlined interface to help you dominate the battlefield more smoothly than ever. Here’s what’s included:

🌍 1. Two New Factions: USA & Germany

• USA and Germany join the fray, expanding our roster to four total factions:

  • AFG (Afghanistan)

  • USA (United States)

  • RUS (Russia)

  • GER (Germany)

• Each faction comes with its own HQ, units, and themed assets—prepare for new strategic matchups!

🛡️ 2. Heavy Armor: New Tank Units

• Every faction now fields its own main battle tank.

• Tanks boast high armor and firepower—ideal for breakthrough assaults or holding key choke points.

• Unit identifiers follow the pattern:

  • AFGTank, USATank, RUSTank, GERTank

🎥 3. Camera Focus Refinements

• Fixed camera‑focus logic now reliably glides to your HQ at match start without snapping back.

• Retains your chosen tilt and smoothly yaws to face the HQ—no more jitter or sudden resets.

🖥️ 4. UI & “Esc” Menu Improvements

• Overhauled the pause (Esc) menu with clearer labels and faster navigation.

• Batch‑applied a slew of minor UI tweaks for consistency (button spacing, tooltips, icon alignment).

• Updated help text to reflect the new factions and tank units.

⚙️ 5. Patch Notes & Batching

• We’re now batching multiple small fixes into each devlog for faster iteration.

• Look for more frequent, bite‑sized updates on Discord and our in‑game news panel.
