9.17 overmatch changes dropped

The_Chieftain: They weren't thinking about making 1mm of armor bounce anything. The system was bugged in implementation, it was never supposed to happen like that. (The bug was fixed towards the end of last week, but nobody noticed: Everybody had their opinions by then, and were sticking to it)   It's worth noting that this mechanics change originated in the balance department, not some other part of the developer organisation. The idea that the balance department was not considering the effects on vehicle balance of this new system is silly. They generally know what they're doing. For those that understand the full nature of the changes, we think it's a great idea, the problem, as I see it, is that we didn't properly communicate them to the playerbase at large, giving a little information, and then a bugged system to extrapolate from. That there was a glitch in the system taking up 'testing time' didn't help either. So, if/when we set about bringing the system back, (which currently has a tentative date), we'll do so a little more 'gently' and with a bit better education.
