Combat Feedback

Rendering performance, audio feedback, and engine behavior moved together as one player-facing update.

Changes

• Reduced renderer work around offscreen geometry and batched passes so busy scenes keep more frame headroom.
• Adjusted sky, horizon, and terrain-depth presentation so distance cues read more clearly against the low-poly world.
• Improved airfield rendering so runway, pad, and terrain-flattening boundaries read as intentional parts of the playable field.
• Aligned engine audio with aircraft state so startup, looping, and spool changes sound connected to what the plane is doing.
• Tightened control handling so grounded and low-speed inputs feel more deliberate instead of leaking through hidden edge cases.
• Wired combat audio feedback into hit and kill events so successful attacks produce a clearer immediate response.
• Improved bullet impact feedback so players can distinguish glancing fire, confirmed hits, and incoming damage more quickly.
• Improved tracer and muzzle-flash feedback so gunfire is easier to follow without obscuring the target.
