Summary of changes (For more details and notes, see the full changelog (TAT-v2.0-Beta-Changelog.txt) included in the release):
Increased Arm Samson and Core Slasher line of sight and weapon range, reload, velocity, and area of effect.
Increased Arm Swatter, Core Slinger, and Core Exploiter weapon area of effect.
Removed firing ports from Arm Hulk and Core Envoy.
Fixed a script error on the Arm Bear and Core Turtle allowing them to load enemy units.
Arm Guardian and Core Punisher scripts and weapons altered to support weapon switching. The ballistic weapon fires more slowly but with bigger damage and area of effect. Targeting uses X to switch and D to manually fire the ballistic weapon, like the Arm Fido.
Core Punisher armor increased a bit to compensate for it using the same weapons as the Guardian.
Arm Zipper and Core Pyro speeds increased to match Arm Peewee and Core A.K.
Core Pyro, Reaper, and Dragon's Maw weapons damage increased to 100% baseline (Was 50% baseline).
Core Bladewing and Arm Spider costs cut to 1/3.
Core Gimp metal cost increased (This was supposed to have been done in Beta 77, but was missed somehow. The other cost increases (energy, firepower, etc.) were already done then).
All Seaplanes reduced to be the same speed as their advanced aircraft counterparts, instead of being 10% faster.
Arm Phalanx and Archer and Core Copperhead and Shredder weapon area of effect increased.
All flakker weapons set to line of sight instead of ballistic, allowing them to shoot at targets at a very high or low angle they couldn't before.
Arm Gremlin armor halved and firepower doubled.
Arm and Core Minelayer Nanolathe Turret build distance increased to match Fortification Turrets.
Arm Dragon's Claw and Core Dragon's Maw line of sight increased.
Arm Sneaky Pete and Veil and Core Castro and Shroud line of sight increased.
Arm Wombat and MERL and Core Nixer, Dominator, Shiva, and Diplomat weapons had their turn rate reduced to only allow them to hit targets in the outer 25% of their range (Previously the outer 75% of their range).
Core Banisher model altered to increase the height of the turret, allowing it to shoot over obstructions more easily.
Core Banisher weapon changed to allow it to hit an empty spot manually targeted on the ground.
Summary of changes (For more details and notes, see the full changelog (TAT-v2.0-Beta-Changelog.txt) included in the release):
Fixed the dark green showing up as yellow on the minimap.
Minelaying units now have the same icon as constructors.
Fixed "slow" animations for water explosions.
(Thanks ChaoStorm!)
Fixed Arm Mumbo script to prevent the unit locking up and not firing when under heavy fire.
Arm Mumbo weapon damage increased.
Control G added to Arm Pelican.
Fixed a script bug that prevented Arm Guardians and Core Punishers from firing in ballistic mode until they'd fired at least once in direct-fire mode.
Seaplanes made more expensive and heavier than regular advanced aircraft:
Previously, Seaplanes had the same armor/firepower as advanced aircraft, but cost only 2/3s as much. This changes Seaplanes to cost 25% more than advanced aircraft, but keep the same weapons, so all of the extra cost goes into armor, boosting their armor by about 56% over advanced aircraft. However, they also move about 10% slower. This makes Seaplanes much more heavily armored for a relatively small increase in cost compared to advanced aircraft while keeping the same weapons.
Replaced Arm Sentinel and Core Gaat Gun models with their original OTA models which are shorter, but also target fast-moving units like Flash tanks more effectively.
Core Viper weapon area of effect increased.
Arm Spirit and Core Krow removed from Advanced Air Plants and added to Experimental Gantries.
Arm Spirit cost increased, speed reduced, weapon range reduced, damage increased, and reload reduced.
Core Krow cost increased, speed reduced, weapon range reduced, and damage increased.
Arm Bantha weapon velocity increased to improve accuracy.
Core Cauterizer turn rate increased.
Arm and Core Commander explosion area of effect increased.
Arm and Core Decoy Commander explosion area of effect increased.
NOTE: This increase in the Commander blast area of effect prevents an enemy commander from destroying your commander with his anti-air missile from further away and surviving your blast. As always, remember that Commander blasts only affect units, leaving structures intact.
Arm and Core Micro Fusions cost and output reduced.
NOTE: This puts Micro Fusions at the same metal/energy efficiency as regular fusions, instead of 23% more efficient. They also produce less energy each, meaning they take up more space and are therefore more hazardous to use.
Arm and Core Amphibious Complex costs reduced 2/3 to equal the costs of Hovercraft Platforms.
NOTE: This puts the Amphibious Complexes back to T1.5 level, just like Hover platforms.
Hovers give better than T1 units, and a couple of advanced things like Micro Fusions, but mostly not advanced. Complexes give full-blown advanced units at half the cost of regular advanced, but you get a short list of units across both Kbots and Vehicles, so you'll just have to work with what you get.
Fixed the dark green showing up as yellow on the minimap.
Minelaying units now have the same icon as constructors.
Fixed "slow" animations for water explosions.
(Thanks ChaoStorm!)
Adjusted Arm Mumbo script to avoid it locking up when being hit by lots of enemy fire all at once.
Arm Mumbo weapon [TAWF003_weapon] damage increased to 26 (19).
NOTE: The Mumbo weapon often hits twice on a target, due to the area of effect, but sometimes only hits once. It's hard to estimate how often, but this increase should help better off-set the times it's only hitting once on a target.
Added Control G hotkey to Arm Pelican.
Fixed a script bug that prevented Arm Guardians and Core Punishers from firing in ballistic mode until they'd fired at least once in direct-fire mode.
Arm Seaplane Platform description changed to Builds Armored Seaplanes (540 Build Power) (Builds Seaplanes (540 Build Power)).

NOTE: Previously, Seaplanes had the same armor/firepower as advanced aircraft, but cost only 2/3s as much. This changes Seaplanes to cost 25% more than advanced aircraft, but keep the same weapons, so all of the extra cost goes into armor, boosting their armor by about 56% over advanced aircraft. However, they also move about 10% slower. This makes Seaplanes much more heavily armored for a relatively small increase in cost compared to advanced aircraft while keeping the same weapons.
Arm Detonator and Core Catalyst weapon [ARMEMP_WEAPON] special damage set to 34000 for the Goliath (Was default damage of 25000).
Arm Retaliator weapon [NUCLEAR_MISSILE] and Core Silencer weapon [CRBLMSSL] special damage set to 34000 for the Goliath (Was default damage of 25000).
NOTE: This prevents a full veteran status Goliath from surviving a direct nuclear hit.
Replaced Arm Sentinel and Core Gaat Gun models with their original OTA models which are shorter, but also target fast-moving units like Flash tanks more effectively.
Core Clasher description changed to Heavy Blast-Laser Hovercraft (Heavy Laser Hovercraft).
NOTE: This just reflects that the weapon has a larger area of effect (for a laser).
Core Viper weapon [CORVIPE_LASER] area of effect increased to 168 (128).
Arm Spirit and Core Krow removed from Advanced Air Plants and added to Experimental Gantries.
Arm Spirit model size increased 33%.

Core Krow weapon [KROWLASER] range reduced to 534 (667), damage increased to 358 (215) and energy per shot increased to 95 (71).
Arm Bantha weapon [ARMBANTHA_FIRE] weapon velocity increased to 600 (450) and tolerance reduced to 3500 (6000).
NOTE: This should let them hit faster moving targets more easily.
Core Cauterizer turnrate increased to 140 (70).
Arm and Core Commander explosion [COMMANDER_BLAST] area of effect increased to 1600 (960).
Arm and Core Decoy Commander destroyed explosion [DECOY_COMMANDER_BLAST] area of effect increased to 1600 (960).
NOTE: This increase in the Commander blast area of effect prevents an enemy commander from destroying your commander with his anti-air missile from further away and surviving your blast. As always, remember that Commander blasts only affect units, leaving structures intact.

NOTE: This puts Micro Fusions at the same metal/energy efficiency as regular fusions, instead of 23% more efficient. They also produce less energy each, meaning they take up more space and are therefore more hazardous to use.
Arm Amphibious Complex energy cost reduced to 12836 (19259), metal cost reduced to 2100 (3150), and build time reduced to 42000 (63000).

Complexes give full-blown advanced units at half the cost of regular advanced, but you get a short list of units across both Kbots and Vehicles, so you'll just have to work with what you get.
Arm Fortification Gates destroyed explosion set to [MEDIUM_BUILDINGEX] ([LARGE_BUILDINGEX]) and self-destruct explosion set to [MEDIUM_BUILDING] ([LARGE_BUILDING]).
Core Fortification Gates destroyed explosion set to [MEDIUM_BUILDINGEX] ([LARGE_BUILDINGEX]) and self-destruct explosion set to [MEDIUM_BUILDING] ([LARGE_BUILDING]).
September 7, 2025
TA:T v2.0 Beta 94:
Replaced NONE.PCX icon to fix radar dots being black (Thanks ChaoStorm!).
Fixed PACKO having yellow areas on the model (LOGOS.GAF).
Fixed Core Shodan not having an icon (Added TANK category).
Arm Samson and Core Slasher weapon [ARMTRUCK_MISSILE] range increased to 600 (500), reload increased to 1.5696 (1.308), weaponvelocity increased to 650 (450), startvelocity increased to 550 (350), and area of effect increased to 128 (96).
Arm Samson and Core Slasher line of sight increased to 650 (560).
Arm Swatter, Core Slinger, and Exploiter weapon [ARMAH_WEAPON] area of effect increased to 128 (96).
Removed firing ports from Arm Hulk and Core Envoy:
IsAirBase set to 0 (1) and changed description to "Naval Transport (4 units to fire laser)(capacity 24 4x4 units)" ("Naval Transport w/ Firing Ports (capacity 24 4x4 units)").
NOTE: This removes the "firing ports" allowing transported units to fire while inside the transport. Depending on the units being carried, it was a nice boost, or very hard to deal with and outclassed other ships. They still have their laser that can be fired if at least 4 units are being carried.
Fixed a script error on the Arm Bear and Core Turtle allowing them to load enemy units.
Arm Guardian and Core Punisher scripts altered to support weapon switching.
Core Punisher weapon [CORFIXED_GUN] range reduced to 1280 (1295), changed to ballistic (line of sight), reload increased to 3.75 (2.7), weaponvelocity reduced to 450 (600), and damage increased to 1477 (1119).
Arm Guardian tertiary weapon set to [CORFIXED_GUN] (none).
Core Punisher primary weapon changed to [ARMFIXED_GUN] ([CORFIXED_GUN]) and tertiary weapon set to [CORFIXED_GUN] (none).
Added the following to Arm Guardian and Core Punisher:
wspe_badTargetCategory=VTOL;
Onoffable=1;
Activatewhenbuilt=0;
canDgun=1;
Arm Guardian and Core Punisher description changed to "Med.Range Plasma Battery.X switches weapons.D targets ballistic" ("Medium Range Plasma Battery").
NOTE:
This gives both the Arm Guardian and the Core Punisher the ability to change between a direct fire weapon (like they already had) and a ballistic weapon, which fires more slowly, but does more damage per hit, and has more area of effect. The selected weapon is toggled the same way as the Arm Fido, with the X key (Or clicking the On/Off button). Off (Default) is the direct-fire weapon, and On uses the ballistic weapon, instead. Remember that when using the ballistic weapon, to manually target you must use the D key (Or click the D-Gun button), instead of the A key (Attack button).
Core Punisher armor increased to 4427 (4208).
NOTE: This is because the Punisher is now using the same weapons as the Guardian, despite costing a bit more.
Removed wsec_badTargetCategory=VTOL and added wspe_badTargetCategory=VTOL to Arm Fido.
NOTE: The Fido doesn't have a secondary weapon, only a primary and a tertiary weapon.
Arm Zipper speed increased to 2.535 (2.3).
Core Pyro speed increased to 2.305 (2.091).
Increased flamethrower weapons from 50% bonus damage to 100% bonus damage:
Core Pyro weapon [FLAMETHROWER] reload reduced to 0.6719 (0.6826) and damage increased to 21 (16) and special damages adjusted accordingly.
Core Reaper weapon [CORE_REAP] reload reduced to 0.4718 (0.481) and damage increased to 17 (13) and special damages adjusted accordingly.
Core Dragon's Maw weapon [DMAW] damage increased to 16 (12).
NOTE: Flames are very damaging, and don't cost energy, but move relatively slowly and spread out as they travel, often causing them to miss a lot unless in a target-rich environment or against targets that are stationary.
Core Bladewing energy cost reduced to 142 (425), metal cost reduced to 9 (27), armor reduced to 25 (76), buildtime reduced to 296 (888), destroyed explosion set to TINY_BUILDINGEX (SMALL_UNITEX), and self-destruct explosion set to SMALL_UNITEX (SMALL_UNIT).
Arm Spider energy cost reduced to 1385 (4155), metal cost reduced to 32 (95), armor reduced to 252 (756), buildtime reduced to 1203 (3608), destroyed explosion set to TINY_BUILDINGEX (SMALL_UNITEX), and self-destruct explosion set to SMALL_UNITEX (SMALL_UNIT).
Core Gimp metal cost increased to 295 (230).
NOTE: This was supposed to have been done in Beta 77, and the rest of the changes were made at that time (Increased energy cost, buildtime, armor, firepower, etc.) but the metal cost was left unchanged at 230 instead of being increased to 295.
Arm Tornado speed reduced to 9.5 (10.45).
Core Voodoo speed reduced to 8.64 (9.5).
Arm Albatross speed reduced to 7.333 (8.0663).
Core Typhoon speed reduced to 6.666 (7.333).
Arm Tsunami speed reduced to 7.333 (8.066).
Core Maelstrom speed reduced to 6.666 (7.333).
Arm Sabre speed reduced to 7.5 (8.25).
Core Cutlass speed reduced to 6.82 (7.49).
Arm Seahawk speed reduced to 9.2 (10.12).
Core Hunter speed reduced to 8.4 (9.24).
Arm Construction Seaplane speed reduced to 7.3 (8.03).
Core Construction Seaplane speed reduced to 6.6363 (7.7).
Core Advanced Construction Aircraft speed reduced to 6.6363 (7).
NOTE: This puts all Seaplanes at the same speed as their advanced aircraft counterparts, instead of being 10% faster.
Arm Phalanx and Archer and Core Copperhead and Shredder weapon [ARMYORK_GUN] area of effect increased to 192 (150) and set to lineofsight (ballistic).
Arm Flakker and Flakker NS weapon [ARMFLAK_GUN] set to lineofsight (ballistic).
Core Cobra and Cobra NS weapon [CORFLAK_GUN] set to lineofsight (ballistic).
NOTE: Due to being ballistic, flakkers wouldn't shoot at things with too low or too high of an angle. An aircraft directly over a flakker could not be shot. This should fix that.
Arm and Core Fortress walls damaged version armor increased to 29500 (14750).
Arm Gremlin armor reduced to 1012 (2022).
Arm Gremlin weapon [ARMST_GAUSS] damage increased to 208 (104).
NOTE: Since Gremlins may not have much time after decloaking before they are destroyed and explode, this will help them to do more damage in that time.
Arm and Core Minelayer Nanolathe Turret build distance increased to 1325 (1000), line of sight increased to 1325 (1000), and description changed to "Build mines and DT in large radius (Cloaks) (60 Build Power)" ("Build mines and DT in medium radius (Cloaks) (60 Build Power)").
Arm Dragon's Claw line of sight increased to 900 (675).
Core Dragon's Maw line of sight increased to 900 (675).
Arm Sneaky Pete line of sight increased to 1325 (1094).
Core Castro line of sight increased to 1205 (995).
Arm Veil line of sight increased to 2650 (2188).
Core Shroud line of sight increased to 2409 (1989).
Core Dominator weapon [CORHRK_ROCKET] turnrate reduced to 5632 (12615), flight time increased to 8.5 (7.0), and noautorange set to 0 (1).
Core Shiva weapon [SHIVA_ROCKET] turnrate reduced to 5632 (12615), flight time increased to 8.5 (7.0), and noautorange set to 0 (1).
Arm MERL weapon [ARMTRUCK_ROCKET] turnrate reduced to 5632 (12615), flight time increased to 9.5 (7.0), and noautorange set to 0 (1).
Core Diplomat weapon [CORTRUCK_ROCKET] turnrate reduced to 5632 (12615), flight time increased to 9.0 (7.0), and noautorange set to 0 (1).
Arm Wombat weapon [ARMMH_WEAPON] turnrate reduced to 7168 (12615), flight time increased to 7.0 (6.0), and noautorange set to 0 (1).
Core Nixer weapon [CORMH_WEAPON] turnrate reduced to 7168 (12615), flight time increased to 7.0 (6.0), and noautorange set to 0 (1).
NOTE: This decrease in the tracking of the vertically launched rockets makes them only able to hit targets in approximately the outer 25% of their range. Previously they could hit targets in the outer 75% of their range.
Core Banisher model adjusted to put the turret higher up to help it avoid hitting obstructions on the ground when firing.
NOTE: This should help make it easier to fire over wreckage or even small bumps in the terrain than before.
Core Banisher and Arm Bolo weapon [TAWF_BANISHER] burnblow set to 1 (Not set previously) and weapontimer increased to 5 (3).
NOTE: The burnblow will allow it to hit an empty spot manually targeted on the ground instead of veering off to the side and then blowing up somewhere else.

TA:T v2.0 Beta 93:
Added new colors! We're trying out some new colors, but this requires removing some others, so this is what we're trying out for now:
