Update 19.02.2019 (1.85.0.152)
Client update 1.85.0.152
- A bug where players would hear the sound of a jet engine when a helicopter was passing over their vehicle has been fixed (source).
- A bug occurring when setting a specific firing distance and switching between different gun sights, where the sights would be misplaced and move upwards or to another point, has been fixed (source).
- A bug occurring when switching the shell type in the second-order ammunition rack, where the shells were reloading at the same speed as the shells from the first-order ammunition racks, has been fixed (source).
- A bug while piloting helicopters using the 3rd person view, where ATGM crosshairs would move outside the center of the sight, has been fixed.
- A bug that caused rare graphical artifacts in battles has been fixed (source).
- The following changes have been made for aircraft strikes in ground forces Arcade Battles:
- Aircraft line-up has been reworked - French and Italian aircraft have been added; a large amount of new fighters, attackers and bombers has been added; attacker weaponry has been mainly replaced by missiles.
- Interceptor respawn zones have been limited so they can not appear in front of, nor behind, the event initiator, thereby stopping attacks being made from those respective flanks.
- Defender respawns are now in the specified radius relative to the interceptors, and not the initiator. If there are several defenders, the interceptors will be distributed between them.
- Defender respawns are now in the direction of the interceptors and not in the course of the initiator.
- “Vietnam” location: Radio message from Hanoi Hannah to American soldiers has been added.
