1.22 A quick reference:

category	setMass	setCenterOfMass
unit	The larger the mass is, the easier a unit will physically fatigued	N/A
aircraft	The larger the mass is, the more sensitive an aircraft will react to joystick, vice versa.	Aircraft slant due to center change accordingly, and the position of the camera view will be altered relatively at the same time. (3rd person view)
vehicle	The larger the mass is, the slower a vehicle drives (Ships will sink), vice versa. (Land vehicle performs like a bouncing ball while ships accelerated pretty speedy.)	Vehicle slant due to center change accordingly.
