March 6 PC game update notes

Several crash fixes and stability improvements
Fixed an issue with data re-sending that was causing rubber banding on some servers
Increased the maximum rank to 120
Fixed an issue with the kill camera triggering before game client would display the last portion of damage being dealt, giving players the impression that they died too early
Fixed issue with blood effects, damage indicators, and health bar updates in the HUD being out of sync. This issue meant that players would sometimes miss information about being shot at, or get the impression of too few hits occurring for the amount of bullets that hit.
Tweaked the speed, dispersion, and re-arm duration of the IFV and MBT projectiles
Tweaked timing for how long the kill feed stays on screen
Fixed an issue where the message "Joining Server" sometimes didn't appear when the user tried to join the server
Added default player slots to server browser filters
Fix for an issue on Silk Road where players could deform the terrain to create a big, water-filled hole
Fix for a bug that occurred with the end-of-round camera if the player was in the bomber in China Rising
Fix for an issue on Rogue Transmission where it was impossible to capture a flag while riding the quad bike
Prevented players from interacting with an M-COM on Siege of Shanghai after it had been destroyed
Fixed an issue where audio for disarming M-COMs could get stuck in an infinite loop
Added minimap details for missing carriers in Rush on Paracel Storm and Hainan Resort
Fix for an exploit that would allow players to shoot two tank shells with not enough delay between shots
Removed a bug where squads would get split up when transitioning between Conquest and Air Superiority
Fixed an issue where Defuse could get stuck in an unplayable state between rounds
Removed a bug that would cause players to sometimes get stuck in the killcam after having been killed
Fixed an issue with revive icon not being grayed out in-game on map and minimap, when the player died after getting revived in Defuse
General improvements and bug fixes for the Battledash and Mission create screens
Fixed a bug where red laser dots would get stuck on textures
Zoom dispersion fix. When zooming in while firing the dispersion did not lower to the new max value
Fixed a bug where the enemy health always displayed as full in the kill-cam
Fixed an issue in Defuse so killed bomb carrier can't plant a bomb in the next round without picking up a new bomb
The MAV has been updated to prevent players from exploiting it
Improved repair rates for vehicles with different base healths
Tweaked volume balance and other ambiance parameters on the majority of base game and China Rising maps
Improved the track vehicles wheel friction so vehicles don't get stuck at relatively minor hills
Fixed an issue with faulty zoom levels that occurred when using click to zoom in. While sprinting and zooming, will mess up the zoom levels, from hip to zoom.
Improved boat physics and handling, including implementation of a system that lets players push stuck boats back in the water

Spectator mode

Added a chat feature, allowing spectators to take part of the chat of the match they're spectating
Fix for the EMP/Proxy Attack effects being visible in Spectator Mode
Removed the black screen that was visible when switching between cameras and players in Spectator Mode
Removed squad colors in Spectator Mode, now only the red and blue team colors are visible
Decreased the user interface clutter in Spectator Mode by removing health pack, ammo pack and revive icons
Tweaked the 1st person view in Spectator Mode so that spectators now see exactly what players see and nothing else
Added a functionality in Spectator Mode so that, when going into Freecam from 1st or 3rd person mode, the first static freecam will be moved to behind the previously spectated player
Added the possibility in Spectator Mode to 'fire' at a player from Freecam to go into 1st person view of that player
Spectators can now see which player on the scoreboard that carries the bomb in the Obliteration and Defuse game modes

Grenade tweaks

Increased the number of M84 FLASHBANG and HAND FLARES the player can carry from 2 to 3.
Increased the effect of M84 FLASHBANG grenades on friendly and enemy players.
Increased the maximum damage for the RGO from 67 to 80, however reduced the range of explosion.
Reduced the visual and audio effect for the detonation of the V40 Mini to highlight its smaller blast when compared to other grenades. Decreased the maximum damage from 80 to 60, and decreased the range at which maximum damage is applied.

Pistol tweaks

Increased the aimed accuracy of the M1911 to make it a viable choice once the COMPACT 45 has been unlocked.
Increased the close range damage of the M1911, QSZ-92, FN57, CZ-75 and COMPACT 45.
Reduced the delay between pressing the trigger and the bullet firing for the M412 REX and .44 MAGNUM.
Increased the magazine capacity of the QSZ-92 to 20 rounds. Additionally reduced the recoil of the QSZ-92 to give it a clear difference from the FN57.
Corrected a small error with the COMPACT 45 accuracy when crouched or prone.

Weapon tweaks

Increased the accuracy of pump action shotguns (870 MCS, HAWK 12g, SPAS-12, and UTS 15) while on the move and aiming.
Reduced the long range damage of the MTAR to bring it in line with the rest of the Carbines.
Adjusted the way inaccuracy is handled when transitioning from Hip fire to Aimed fire.
The Heavy Barrel's Accuracy bonus now also applies on the move, at a reduced bonus. This should give the Heavy Barrel a wider role for players who desire accuracy while aimed in all situations.
Synchronized the timing of the aim down the sights animation of sniper rifles with their ability to fire with full accuracy. Players no longer need to wait for additional time after the aiming animation plays to get accurate shots. There is still a delay to achieve full accuracy, so Quick Scoping is still not possible.
The SRS bolt action time has been tweaked and the rate of fire has been lowered
The GOL bolt action time has been tweaked
The muzzle velocity for the MP7 has been reduced
The MTAR21 muzzle velocity has been reduced
Updated the handling of the 1x scopes for Type95B1, A91, SteyrAug, SAR21, QBZ951, FAMAS, UTAS, MTAR, L85A2, and F2000
Updated rate of fire for the RGP7 and NLAW

Vehicle tweaks

Reduced the total amount of missiles carried by the Mobile Anti-Aircraft vehicles from 6 to 4.
Reduced the velocity of the MAA's default 20MM CANNON from 1200m/s to 800m/s to match the 30MM CANNON.
Reduced the physical impact of all Anti-Aircraft missiles to prevent helicopters from flipping uncontrollably when hit. The damage values have not been changed.
Reduced the cone in which ACTIVE RADAR missiles search for targets, making them require a higher level of skill in predicting where a target will be when the missile is fired.
Increased the direct damage done by the Attack Helicopter's gunner cannon. The gunner will be better able to assist the pilot in taking down vehicle targets with this change.
Increased the direct hit damage of the Zuni Rockets for Attack Helicopters. The rate of fire of these rockets combined with their smaller magazine pool made them a poor choice over the other two rocket types.
Reduced the splash damage and maximum splash damage range of the Scout Helicopter 25MM CANNONS.
Reduced the "intelligence" of the MBT LAW missiles, requiring the player to aim the missile closer to their target before the smart projectile will activate. Additionally, the MBT LAW now reloads slightly slower. Finally, a bug where the MBT LAW would pass through an ACTIVE PROTECTION shield has been fixed.
Fixed an issue where ACTIVE PROTECTION and the MP-APS did not properly stop 12G FRAG rounds.
Reduced the range where the M2 SLAM will do maximum damage to vehicles from 6M to 3M. The range was deemed to be too large, making the M2 SLAM far superior to the M15 AT MINE.
Reduced the damage the STAFF shell does to all targets by 25%. This should balance the ease of use of the STAFF shell with its damage potential.
