Update 07.07.2016 (Server Update)
Attention! Outdated news format. Content may not display correctly.

This is a server update that will be implemented on the game servers within 24 hours. During this time, bug reports regarding specifics mentioned here and their effect in a battle will not be considered as a bug and as such will not be taken into consideration.

  • SS11 missile (RJpz-2 and Strv 81) performance has been fixed - previously a missile reached its maximum speed at the maximum shot range. Engine thrust has been increased, thus a missile reaches a speed of 150 m/s within the first 1000 metres.
  • The efficiency of the 30mm HE shells (aircraft cannons) has been increased, especially when hitting smaller aircraft (single engine).
  • BR changes for aircraft and ground vehicles have been implemented.

Note: This server update applies to all platforms unless specifically highlighted.
