Test Server Patch 166 Notes

[Thanatos]

[APU COMBAT]
- Line of sight verification will be used at the beginning of the cast - if the target is in line of sight, the damage will be generated in any case (even if the target moves out of LoS during the cast)
- Casts without targets will fail (and will not be ignored)
- Aiming penalty reduced: The maximum damage reduction for poorly aimed casts is now half (was one quarter)

[MELEE COMBAT]
- 'Paw Of Tiger' changed - new techlevel is 80
- New rare variation of brass knuckles added -> Perforator, Lowtech-Melee, TL 82 (will replace the 'Electric Tempest')

[VEHICLES]
- Use restrictions for driver seats changed: the INT mainskill requirement was removed, VHC subskill requirements have been adjusted

[BUGFIXES]
- Fixed a bug that caused fall damage when players shot each other from large height differences
