Geran-2 & Geran-4

1.2.4

1.2.4: The Geran launch trucks (Ural Geran-2, Ural Geran-4, UAZ Geran-2) now show up in Game Master and at the Conflict vehicle depot also with WCS mods.
- WCS_Arsenal gives the Russian faction its own vehicle catalog, so the trucks were missing there. They are now added to whatever vehicle catalog the faction uses when the game starts.
- Requires S-8000 Banderol 1.2.4 (updates automatically).

1.2.3

Workshop description updated for 1.2.2: reload prices in supplies. No gameplay changes.

1.2.2

1.2.2: Reloading the launch trucks now costs supplies when the game mode uses them (Conflict).
- Geran-2: 250 per drone (Ural and UAZ), Geran-4: 400 per drone.
- Taken from your side's base storage, a supply truck or supply crates within 135 m. Enemy supplies are never used.
- With supplies switched off (usual in Game Master) the reload stays free.
- The reload action shows the price and the supplies in reach; the supplies are taken when the reload ends.
- Requires S-8000 Banderol 1.2.2 (updates automatically).

1.2.1

Workshop description updated for 1.2.0: launch trucks and UAZ for all players, boosters. No gameplay changes.

1.2.0

1.2.0: Geran launch vehicles for all players, not only Game Master.
- Ural-4320 "Geran-2" (two drones on staggered rails): 1200 supplies, rank Lieutenant.
- Ural-4320 "Geran-4" (two drones): 1800 supplies, rank Captain.
- UAZ-469 "Geran-2" (one drone on a roof rack, launch on the move): 600 supplies, rank Sergeant.
- They are in the Game Master vehicle list and at the Conflict USSR vehicle depot.
- In the cab look slightly up, at the top edge of the windshield in front of you, or use the panel on the left side outside: "Цель: моя метка на карте" (target = your newest map marker, not a private one), "ПУСК" (launch), "Дистанционное управление" (remote control of the last drone). Without a target the drone flies straight ahead.
- Reload from the panel while the vehicle stands still: Ural 120 s, UAZ 60 s.
- Every Geran now starts on a rocket booster under the tail: about 3 s of flame and smoke, then it separates and falls to the ground. The ground launchers show it too, and the drone sits a bit higher on the rail.
- Requires S-8000 Banderol 1.2.0 (updates automatically).

1.1.18

Support link in the description.

1.1.17

Geran-4: no more fire on the ground after the explosion. The fire and its burn damage are gone from the OFZBCh-50 and TBBCh-90 warheads; blast and fragments stay the same. The descriptions in Game Master are updated.

1.1.16

The TBBCh-50M thermobaric warhead now uses the same big fire effect as the Geran-4's thermobaric warhead. With the Better Explosions mod it gets the thermobaric explosion. Damage is not changed.

1.1.15

1.1.15: Geran-2 black paint is darker and matte. New preview image with the black drone.

1.1.14

1.1.14: Geran-2 is now painted black.

1.1.13: New preview image with screenshots from the game. No gameplay changes.

1.1.12

1.1.12: Geran prefabs back to the 1.1.7 setup (rollback of the bullet-hit experiments) so drones fly again for clients. Requires S-8000 Banderol 1.1.22.

1.1.11

1.1.10

1.1.10: Geran models back to the bullet hit geometry verified in game (one rifle hit destroys a parked Geran). Requires S-8000 Banderol 1.1.20.

1.1.9

1.1.9: Geran models rebuilt with solid hit geometry (VehicleFire layer) for the bullet-hit fix in S-8000 Banderol 1.1.19. Requires S-8000 Banderol 1.1.19.

1.1.8

1.1.8: Gerans use the same hit fix as S-8000 Banderol 1.1.7 (GameEntity with lag-compensated hit checks), so small-arms bullets should damage and shoot them down. Requires S-8000 Banderol 1.1.7.

1.1.7

1.1.7: Smooth Geran motion for clients in multiplayer and playable remote control from a client (via S-8000 Banderol 1.1.5): steady 30 Hz state while controlled, smoothed prediction and bank, control commands sent more often, and a short network gap no longer makes the drone stop following the stick. Requires S-8000 Banderol 1.1.5.

1.1.6

1.1.6: Gerans can be shot down with small arms again and manual (W/S) dives under remote control no longer stutter (via S-8000 Banderol 1.1.4). Requires S-8000 Banderol 1.1.4.

1.1.5

1.1.5: Blue side (US) versions of all six Geran warhead variants and both launchers in Game Master (marked [US]); US launchers load US drones. Red side (USSR) versions unchanged. Requires S-8000 Banderol 1.1.3.

1.1.4

1.1.4: Geran-2 engine much quieter at range: builds up as it approaches and is silent beyond ~1.3 km; engine and flyby sounds are muffled inside buildings. Heavier close explosions with camera shake (via S-8000 Banderol 1.1.2).

1.1.3

1.1.3: New preview image. No gameplay changes.

1.1.2

1.1.2: Geran-2 engine: louder, rougher and nastier two-stroke sound (heavier exhaust rasp, uneven firing growl, stronger propeller buzz), heard from farther away (up to ~4 km).

1.1.1

1.1.1: Thermal camera no longer stutters: full detector refresh rate, no ghosting trail, fixed temperature window instead of per-frame automatic contrast.

1.1.0

1.1.0: Operator flight with physics (bank to turn, inertia, dives accelerate). Geran-4: stabilised gimbal camera, white-hot thermal by default, LMB marks a point or vehicle under the crosshair and the drone attacks it (green tracking box), RMB cancels. Geran-2: belly camera with the nose in view, steer with mouse or WASD. N switches TV / night vision / thermal. Clean HUD, Shift/Ctrl throttle. Geran-2 engine: new two-stroke buzz with Doppler and rising pitch in the dive. GM: RMB on a point or target gives flying drones an attack order. Smaller warhead kill radii, contact fuse, air-burst effects, fires on roofs. Requires S-8000 Banderol 1.1.0.
