Vehicles Sunderer and ANT

Tank Shell resistance (type 7) from -50 to -20

Dev Note: We've walked back some of the tank shell resistance reductions for Sunderers and ANTs over concerns of their limited maneuverability as larger, more easily struck targets. These changes equate to only one less shot to kill from the Live values (from Magrider AP,) instead of the two proposed with the last PTS update. MBT and Lightning

Rear damage multiplier from 2x to 1.5x

Dev Note: We're going pull back some of the rear-damage for these vehicles, which will have numerous interactions across many weapons, for infantry and vehicle play alike. The previous 2x bonus damage was intentionally severe, as it was intended as a counter-balance to the stronger forward and side armor given to tanks with the Combined Arms update. In function, players were too rarely able to take advantage of this benefit in common vehicle to vehicle situations, which contributed to feedback asking for a return of more standardized damage values. Harasser

Tank Shell resistance (type 7) from -50 to -20
Engineers in the rumble seat now repair 50% of their normal repair per second value, instead of 30%.

Dev Note: With MBT and Lightning receiving less damage from the rear now, we've decided to reintroduce some of the vehicle's survivability against those targets. In most cases, this change increases the number of shots to kill for a composite armor Harasser by one, and prevents them from falling into a critical state as they normally would have, without composite armor. The additional rumble seat repair rate should also help boost the vehicle's overall survivability mid-fight. Misc. Changes, Fixes, and Additions

Fixed an issue with the last PTS update where Fire Suppression would quickly heal vehicles to full.
Warpgates once again block projectile collision from outside.
