I'll address the two big questions I see here... Where did the Centurion CN9-AH go and why did knock downs get removed.

First off, the CN9-AH was our test vehicle for what we could do for Yen-Lo Wang. It was the closest variant we would use without exposing what the first Hero Mech was going to be. Now that Yen-Lo Wang is announced and present, we have removed the CN9-AH and will be replacing it with the CN9-D with the Artemis Guidance System in the next Mech release pack.

As for knockdowns, they were broken... plain and simple. I had been asking for a while now to have them removed until we get both the physics and the network side of Mech movement down properly so it a) doesn't look horrible and :angry: doesn't cause the weird warping around as the Mechs stand back up. This mechanic will come back when we properly introduce charging/knockdown gameplay.

I'll check into the DHS system. Seems a bit light to me as well.
