Improving the flight physics of the SACLOS/MCLOS missiles
We are always trying to implement vehicles and weapons in the game as faithfully as possible and we also constantly refine and clarify the behavior of objects in the game, whether it is an aircraft or a shell. This time we have finalized the control mechanics of the SACLOS/MCLOS missiles to meet the higher requirements for reliability with the physical model of missile flight.

On November 25th, 1940, the British de Havilland Mosquito multirole combat aircraft made its first flight.

Heinkel Aircraft
Ernst Heinkel wanted to design planes ever since he was just a kid in the German Empire. He saw zeppelins and biplane aircraft, true marvels of modern technology, conquering the sky, and imagined his own designs up there in the air. Heinkel created a company which eventually became one of the titans of the German combat aircraft industry.

М26 Pershing
In 1942 the USA accepted a new tank into service. The name of the tank was… М4 Sherman. Its reliability and performance earned the respect of hundreds of tanker crews all around the world, but the team that created the Sherman knew all too well that no glory lasts forever. After all, the Sherman was based on the M2 medium tank that was developed in the 1930s. The US needed a more advanced follow-up tank.
