Ground Vehicle model, damage model, characteristic and weaponry changes:

• Cruiser Tank Grant I (USA) - a bug has been fixed where the single-dimensional stabilizer was missing for the 75mm M2 gun.
• M8A1 - AA machine-gun is now under commander control.
• Object 685 - a bug has been fixed with insufficient floating ability.
• Type 75 SPH - the M107 (PF) shell has had the ability to set up the explosion distance manually removed. The explosion initiates with a proximity fuse within a 3 m radius from the target (surface, tank, aircraft, helicopter). The proximity explosion is only possible if the shell travels a minimum 300m distance to enable fuse arming.
• SIDAM 25 (Mistral) - an inconsistency has been fixed between the order of firing missiles and how they disappear in the X-ray mode.

Aircraft model, damage model, characteristic and weaponry changes:

• A-129 International - radar receiving system notifications now can be shown on the multi-functional display (MFD).
• Helicopter ATGM characteristics have been specified. Missile maneuverability has been significantly reduced (in some cases it was similar to homing missiles), the aiming accuracy of target trackers has been improved. A moving target tracked by such systems has now an increased chance of being hit. 
• Trees in the aircraft part of locations are now obstacles for radar trackers and ground vehicle radars. The more trees you have in “radar-target” range, the weaker the signal is, and the less chance your target may be locked.
• Antennas and propellers, that incorrectly remained after some parts they were connected to were torn apart, now disappear. 
• Ki-67-I Ko - aiming angles of turrets have been specified.
• IL-4 - UTK-1 turret ammo load has been changed from 200 to 230 rounds.
• Me-264 A1a/U1 - separate ammo counter for different groups of cannons now appears in the interface.
• X-38 - aiming angles of turrets have been specified.
• Beaufort Mk VIII - no longer any need to open the bomb door to launch torpedoes.
• Su-2/BB-1 (all modifications) - aiming angles of turrets have been specified.
• Su-2 TSS-1 - TSS-1 turret ammo rack has been changed from 900 to 1000.
• MB 157 - carrier take-off has been removed for some missions.
• Mi-4AV - number of firing points has been corrected in the crew mode.
• Do 217 N-2 - number of firing points has been corrected in the crew mode.
• J5N1 - number of firing points has been corrected in the crew mode.

Flight models changes:

• Wyvern S.4 - flight characteristics have been corrected, the maximum speed and climb rate now correspond to datasheet specifications.
• All helicopters - a bug has been fixed where after activating the instructor-controlled engine in mouse aim mode, the rotor could not be set at the maximum pitch, and consequently the helicopter could not take-off. 
• All helicopters - when switching to the gunner’s view, the instructor will no longer disable hover mode.

Naval weaponry:

• Turret aiming algorithm has been improved. When changing salvo side, turrets start rotation in advance to keep as many firing guns in the sector as possible. The 203mm Mk.19 shell penetration figures have been specified. 

Naval characteristics, physics and damage model:

• Hiburi-class, Syonan, 1944 - buoyancy centre position has been corrected.
• Ignition parameters for fuel tanks have been fixed. Previously set parameters more often led to fires, including the ignition of empty tanks. 

Naval Visual models and visual parts:

• Type Zerstörer 1936B, Type Zerstörer 1936A (Mob) Z32, Flottentorpedoboot 1939 (T22), Nürnberg (1944) - visual model for autocannons has been changed from c30 to c38.

Locations and missions

• In “Gladiators” 4vs4 missions, the last bonus round is now set randomly (1vs1, 2vs2, or 4vs4).

Naval Enduring Confrontation:

• Coastal artillery defending ports has received new modeling.
• Hydroplanes/float planes are now able to repair and reload at friendly ports.
• The repair algorithm for coastal artillery has been fixed, artillery repairs correctly now.
• In naval Confrontation, aircraft missions now appear later in order to let players gather the correct number of points to select an aircraft.
• If a team hasn’t completed port capture and it has reverted to neutral, respawns will not be active at this location for both teams.

Interface

• New option to disable the azimuth scale in 3rd person view in ground vehicles has been added.
• The recent radar zone area is now displayed by azimuth and elevation in degrees.

Sound

• M163 Vulcan and PG02 cannon sound issue has been fixed.
