America's Army: Operations v1.6.0 [Full Version]

Americas Army version 1.6.0:

Version 1.6 update expands the importance of rules of engagement and teamwork within America's Army with "Radio Tower", a non-combatant rescue mission. New functionality such as the addition of projectile penetration and ricochets add increased realism to game scenarios. Version 1.6 also marks the transition of America's Army to the production version of Unreal's version 2110 engine.

Given these expanding sets of occupations, missions and capabilities, the America's Army file size will grow as well. Therefore, with a download size that will exceed 400 MB in the coming months, we expect Akamai's download service will provide value for players looking for the fastest downloads of our most current game content.

What's New:
Updated Game Engine.
The updated version of the game engine provides improved networking and audio performance and enhanced server and client stability. The production version of the Unreal engine will allow America's Army to deliver an expanding array of functionality, combat systems, armaments and of course, expanded opportunities to explore occupations and individual development in America's Army: Soldiers.

"Radio Tower" Non-Combatant Rescue Mission
"Radio Tower" is a daytime mission in which assaulting Army Rangers parachute into harsh desert terrain, infiltrate a catacomb of underground tunnels, rescue international aid workers and secure a large radio tower from opposing forces. Defending Army Rangers prevent these catacombs from infiltration by opposing forces and defend a group of aid workers and a large radio tower from attack by opposing forces.

Projectile Penetration
With this implementation of projectile penetration America's Army players will find expanded realism across all simulated combat levels. Surfaces such as cloth, glass and wood will now allow projectile penetration with projectile damage and trajectory affected by the type of surface penetrated. With this upgrade the difference between cover and concealment will be apparent!

Projective Ricochets
In addition to projectile penetration, America's Army: Operations now incorporates ricochets as well. With this feature, firing your weapon at an object with an incident angle of less than 45 degrees can result in ricochets with the damage and trajectory of ricocheting projectiles altered according to the incident angle and material type.
