Aircraft

- Rafale C F3 — IR AAM seeker indication has been added to HUD.
- Rafale C F3 — the number of datalink channels for the MICA-EM missiles has been increased to 8. (Report).
- Rafale C F3 — MAWS dead zones in vertical coverage have been removed.
- A bug that caused mines dropped from aircraft to slow down when approaching the water has been fixed.
- A bug in Air Simulator Battles that caused some aircraft to sometimes roll backwards when spawning on airfield after rearming has been fixed. (Report).
Naval Vessels
- HMS Rodney — the ship flooding system has been fixed. Now flooded bow compartments don’t critically impact the trim, so the ship’s bow doesn’t dive as much blocking the fire of main caliber guns.

- A bug that caused the Caps Lock state indicator on the login screen to differ from the actual state of the key if the Caps Lock had been switched when the game wasn’t in the focus has been fixed.
