Changes to the XP system means the Official servers will be wiping XP and maps to get everyone back on a level playing field. Community servers can revert if they choose to. Apologies, but it needs to be done. Aside from the XP stuff, we're rebooting gunplay, building sexier airfields, and more.
New hitbox system (clothing no longer affects hitboxes)
New weapon damage model (more predictable body damage multipliers)
New projectile weapon hit detection (best-fit hit detection for reliable results)
New clothing and armor protection system (less random protective properties)
Animals now also use detailed hitboxes with damage multipliers
