- new feature: ramming people - set with Tactical Gameplay Settings > ALLOW_CARS_DRIVING_OVER_PEOPLE and Tactical Gameplay Settings > ALLOW_TANKS_DRIVING_OVER_PEOPLE - when shift is pressed planned vehicle route will go through people. Those who will stay on its path will be hit, causing wounds and knock-outs.
- new feature: ramming structures - when shift is pressed planned vehicle route will go through obstacles. When vehicle hits the structure on its path it will be destroyed, causing small damage to vehicle too (with exception of tank). Tactical Gameplay Settings > CARS_RAMMING_MAX_STRUCTURE_ARMOUR and Tactical Gameplay Settings > TANKS_RAMMING_MAX_STRUCTURE_ARMOUR settings control how well armoured structure can be driven through and amount of potential damage for vehicle.

- To control vehicle, click on it or on the steering wheel in team panel under driver's portrait.
- Vehicles have two gears - slow drive and fast drive, switchable just like walking and running ('S', 'R', double-click).
- Vehicles working: Ice Cream Van, Hummer, Jeep, El Dorado and, potentially, tanks.
- Passengers can be selected and ordered to open fire from the inside
- You can also open inventory screen for passengers, pass or throw items, etc.
Normally vehicle is treated as any other merc and has its own APs. It has obvious disadvantages - it's possible to drive in the middle of the enemy group using vehicle's 100AP,
and then use all your mercs inside vehicle with their still full APs to kill everything that moves at point blank range - with even the driver participating!
- To prevent that you can set Tactical Gameplay Settings > AP_SHARED_AMONG_PASSENGERS_AND_VEHICLE_MODE with following calculation methods

- no more jump with backpack (keys 'j' and 'J'). This is more consistent. Sometimes the soldier got stuck in the fence as some functions did not allow jumping and others did.
- Pickup items from ground will now cost AP.
- Backpack, Scubba fins and swimming background AP modificattion is now shown in path and is considered when calculating new path. No pathing through fences when wearing backpack. More likely to create path through water when wearing scubba fins.
