  • Battle Rating changes.
  • Economy changes.
  • All the vehicles that have their SL costs changed, have their RP requirements for research and modifications automatically updated, same for the crew training.
  • [Ground strike] Mission on African Canyon and Desert Coast locations have new (test) logic that increases number of ground units depending on the BR. BRs 1.0-5.0 - no increase. BRs 5.0-6.7 - 6 additional ground units for each team, BRs 6.7-8.7 10 more additional units. 8.7+ - again 6 more units. The amount of added units will be corrected according to the results of the test.
  • In Air RB missions (for the BRs 3.3+) incorrectly increased  base durability has been fixed. This does not affect AB.
  • The amount of the points lost after the base is destroyed has been decreased (it used to be 10% of maximum, from now on it’s 7%). It will be implemented for all game modes.

The above mentioned changes have been implemented in order to avoid extremely short game sessions, where heavy bombers quickly destroy bases and airfields and to increase the role of the ground units, thus increasing the role of the attackers.
