Armament

Graphical
- A bug that caused the visual displaying of a bridge in the “Alaska” location to disappear after using bulldozer dumps underneath it has been fixed.
Interface
- Ability to search for a threat vehicle by name has been added to the protection analysis.
- Paragraphs for texts in the options tooltip in the squadron creation window have been removed.
Sound
- Now when firing a rapid fire gun at ground vehicle armour, the frequency of the sounds of bullets and shell hits matches the actual sounds.
- New sounds for hits on ground vehicles for all calibres have been created: machine guns (6.5 mm - 14.5 mm), small (23 mm - 50 mm), medium (57 mm - 90 mm), large (100 mm - 155 mm). The purpose of the changes is to emphasise energetic impacts with thick armour plates and to stand out in the overall low-frequency background of the game.
- New sounds of hits from all calibres in the player's vehicle in the first person view depending on the ammunition type (APHE, AP, HE, HEAT) have been created. The purpose of the change is to make hits of different types of ammunition audibly distinguishable.
- New sounds of all calibres of shells passing by the player have been created. The purpose of the change is to make brighter sounds contrast better with the low-frequency background to warn of shelling.
Missions
- In “Seversk-13” missions, AA guns that were stationed too close to the landing strip of the airfield have been moved.
- In the “[Conquest #2] Abandoned Town” mission, incorrect placement of the spawn point defence areas has been fixed.
