- Improved consistency when destroying Anti-Tank Mines and M4 SLAM AV Mines with explosives. Clearing out minefields should be easier and more consistent using a tank.
- Improved attachment setups for M4A1, M277, SVDM, Mini Scout, UMG-40, and 18.5KS-K, ensuring these weapons use their intended attachments and are better balanced when found as loot.
