kinda wish the sub could turn a bit faster
We increased their turning speeds in 3.6. Originally it was a 20% boost, but testing indicated that was too much so we put the boost at 10%.

I'm interested to know why this change was made. The sub's major advantage is to be able to go underwater and hide from ships or sneak past them but that's been taken away. Should subs be buffed in some way to compensate for this?
It can still go underwater and hide from ships and sneak past them. These range numbers look like they are a large distance, but in actuality are quite short if you've tried it. Submarines have been deemed too strong, on every map they are on. Detecting them at close ranges is the least that should happen.

And does any monitor with more than 300 Hz even exist in the first place?
You make a good point. Some might say that a framerate that is much higher than their display's refresh rate looks better, but I've yet to be convinced of this.

Hello! I'm new here. I've heard about your mods long time ago, and played some of them for a little bit. But one that interests me most to this day is apocalypse rising.
I've been tracking it on moddb for ages, but there were not many notifications then I checked if you guys were dead and figured you have awesome youtube channel, forum and everything. So I decided to join.Welcome! Good to see new faces in the community. 😊

Avast
Yeah Avast notoriously doesn't like the game and has given other people the same problem you describe (black screen + fail instead of starting). Search "Avast" in our Discord tech support channel and you will see.
If disabling isn't doing what you want, can you try adding game.exe in APB's install directory to Avast's whitelist?

I've disabled my AV, even made exceptions for everything related to w3dhub.
I can run Reborn or IA just fine, it's APB that wants to be awkward lolWhich antivirus is it? Reborn and IA don't use scripts 5.0, which is hated by a few select antivirus programs.

Everytime I go to launch APB from the launcher, the screen goes blank and then it goes back to the desktop itself.
There's no error, or any error related files for me to check out.
Everything is running as administrator. I did click and repair the games installation, but to no avail..Do you have an antivirus running on your machine? If so, try disabling it and running APB again.

I've seen a number of light/phase tank rushes work, and in the past, ranger rushes. But they do require coordination. It's easier when the team's not cooperating to go in as a Tanya or Engineer and solo some structures.
A spy shutting down defenses/repairs also requires some amount of specific teamwork to be effective.

Using jump and crouch keys give you a lot of control with your pitch. Rudder left and right is bound to your < and > keys, but bind the secondary L+R keys to keys near WASD. I use Z and X personally. This will help you turn left and right easily without having to roll the plane. Helps a LOT when you're strafing a moving target. @ ryknow69can explain more precisely.

Hi Samasugida, we do like these games, and that's why we make more games based on these games. Please do take the time to try out our first/third person adaptations of these games and I hope you enjoy them.
We ask that you do make your posts in English, as that's the language everyone here speaks. Thanks for your understanding!

May need an admin to look into allowing this via the ACP, as per the following link:
https://invisioncommunity.com/forums/topic/444524-add-a-poll-in-an-existing-topic/?do=findComment&comment=2745592@ OWA Any way to allow the addition of a poll to a topic?

I was thinking the further away we start from the objective, the more prepared we'll be for the objective in the end. Why not a mystery side quest in Traschwandt, where we can gain things in preparation for the main quest? I'm sure we can stop at the Nod base along the way to the research center.

Levels
