Baba Yaga TM-62B Payload

• Added the TM-62B as an exclusive heavy payload for Baba Yaga

• Baba Yaga can carry a maximum of one TM-62B

• Installing a TM-62B blocks every other payload hardpoint

Realistic Drone Damage

• Added an expanded physical damage system for all supported drones

• Preserved the existing advanced SYCH-1 damage implementation

• Added physical-part condition tracking for:

• Hits now consider the attacker’s direction and the affected front, rear, left, or right side

• Added mechanical damage cascades

• Destroying an arm can damage its motor and propeller

• Destroying a motor can damage its propeller

• Destroying a wing boom can affect the connected wing

• Missing rotors now produce asymmetric thrust

• Missing wings reduce lift and destabilize fixed-wing drones

• Tail damage reduces pitch and yaw authority

• Structural damage can cause vibration, uncontrolled rotation, emergency descent, or complete loss of control

• Battery damage can cause smoke, sparks, fire, and eventual critical failure

• Camera destruction can disable Remote View

• Antenna and controller damage can reduce or completely interrupt the control link

• Added visible smoke, sparks, break particles, and detached-part effects

• Added synchronized physical damage for normal and Remote View rendering

• Added persistent physical damage across world saves

• Added repair support for damaged physical components

Remote View and Long-Range Flight

• Significantly improved long-range drone movement

• Reduced severe drone stuttering when flying far away from the player

• Removed client-side movement freezing caused by missing collision chunks inside Remote View

• Remote drone movement now uses direct server-fed visual updates while Remote View terrain is still loading

• Preserved normal collision handling for drones viewed in the ordinary player world

• Added improved chunk-generation scheduling

• Reduced the number of expensive simultaneous unexplored-terrain loads

• Added priority streaming around the real drone camera position

• Added movement-aware chunk-streaming corridors

• Improved streaming-center stabilization

• Improved terrain and light-packet processing

• Reduced large client frame-time spikes during Remote View

• Improved entity tracking at extended distances

Important

MH Warfare has now entered beta development.

Although this release has received extensive testing, bugs, balance problems, incomplete systems, short Remote View corrections, and mod compatibility issues may still occur.

Back up important worlds before updating. The same MH Warfare and GeckoLib versions must be installed on the client and server.
