Fixes

• The radial vent and vent assembly now correctly emit smoke during engine fires.

• Fixed flameout explosions on vehicles with no turrets or hatches spawning at the world origin.

• Fixed the Strv M42 sprocket wheel hitbox being oversized.

• Fixed incorrect viewport positions on cupolas.

• Fixed HVSS arms not moving visually.

• Reduced visual disconnect between wheels and their suspension arms under high impulses.

• Fixed mantlet shields being duplicatable, which resulted in duplicates which couldn't be picked up once placed.

• Reduced stiffness of HVSS.

• Applique armour plates, mantlets, fenders and track panels now have mass.

• VVSS and Leaf spring suspensions now centre on the belt correctly.

A bit less this time as I've been cooling down with fewer hours and some housekeeping (Documentation, project organization) in preparation for expanding the team.

~~Speaking of which, I'm looking for a senior programmer to develop this project alongside me.
