Here is the ground truth on dismounts in Raging Tiger.

1. Dismounts will dismount at 50m, vehicles at 100m. If you are not seeing this behavior now, it is a bug. Let us know if this is the case.

2. I have also (in deference to those who want to "retro-fit" ATF scenarios), given you the ability to resave ATF scenarios (using the Raging Tiger Scenario Builder) and add the dismount rule.

3. The issue with dismounts in carriers is a bug (thanks to those who ID'd it). We are updating the database prior to release to correct these issues.

4. I honestly don't know when presales will start. Shrapnel Games is deep into getting ready for Origins (as I SHOULD be ;) ) and has not been able to make forward progress on this.

Thanks for the input!

As of the demo build dated 6/19 at around 16:30, both dismounts and vehicles are still dismounting 300m from the carrier. I checked the current download and it does not seem to have been updated since the initial posting.

Also, the mount radius is still >500m. I personally think the mount radius should match the dismount radius, whatever that might be set to.

I do notice the dismounting patterns have changed. Now, infantry dismounts in a clockwise progression rather than the previous "opposite sides" arrangement, and vehicles all dismount exactly at 12 o'clock right on top of one another. I don't know if that's what you intended.
