CAP2 v0.930.0 Release Notes

We're delighted to have v0.930.0 ready for you.

This update introduces one of the biggest additions to CAP2 so far: fully player-controllable ground vehicles. Combined with a host of audio improvements, VR fixes and gameplay refinements, it's another important step on the road to version 1.0.

Check out what's new below.

Controllable Ground Vehicles

Take the fight to the ground by commanding a range of military vehicles, each with their own roles, weapon systems, and handling characteristics.

Available Vehicles

• M1 Abrams

• M2 Bradley

• M109 Paladin

• MRAP

Whether you prefer heavy armor, mechanized infantry support or mobile artillery, each vehicle offers a different battlefield experience.

Crew Roles

Each vehicle supports multiple crew positions, including Driver, Gunner, and Commander.

In single player, you can instantly cycle through the available role combinations for the selected vehicle. If you're acting as Commander, you can designate enemy vehicles while friendly AI gunners automatically engage your chosen targets. Otherwise, the AI Commander will identify and engage threats on your behalf.

This crew system also lays important foundations for future multiplayer updates.

Weapon Sights & Targeting

The M1 Abrams and M2 Bradley feature fully functional internal gun sights with:

• Multiple zoom levels

• FLIR / IR mode

• VR compatibility

You can also quickly switch between friendly vehicles during gameplay, making it easy to jump into the action wherever it's needed.
