• In the “Main Parameters” menu in the “Privacy and Confidentiality” tab, a new setting “Hide player nicknames” has been added. This setting allows to hide nicknames of players in battle or change nicknames to numeric UserID values. This option is helpful for streamers who may meet players in battle with nicknames from other platforms (Steam, PSN, Xbox etc.), which in accordance to their rules may contain inappropriate symbols or words, and therefore may in rare cases, cause blocking on streaming services.

Aircraft

• Tornado IDS (1995) (Italy) — a bug has been fixed which prevented countermeasures from being selected in the custom secondary armament set if it initially did not include countermeasures when creating the set.

Interface

• The “Activate” button has been removed from the “Battle tasks” window, since the tasks are activated upon being received or purchased.
• When played from a gamepad, the "Personal Tasks" button in spectator mode duplicated the "Forward" button, therefore, in the default layout, it was changed from "R1" to "LT".
• The “Personal tasks” button has been added to the statistics window in battle.
• Now, the “Personal tasks” button is not displayed in battles with disabled achievements, such as “Custom battles”.
• The store progression bar has been removed from the “Battle tasks” section in the right side of the hangar interface, since store progression depends on the Battle Pass level.
• A bug has been fixed where a special task was displayed in the “Personal tasks” window, although the player has not yet completed the required Medium Task.
