I think I can end the week happy with the VFX added for vehicles in #ToTheTrenches.

I just wrapped today up by adding tread marks on the battlefield to give that extra level of detail.

Have a great weekend everyone!

One of the major features releasing with Update 1.5 is Move Markers. Giving the player the ability to order troops to a desired location on the battlefield.
We hope this will greatly enhance the player experience as players will now have much more control.
