New locations and missions

  • Abandoned Town — location for mixed battles
  • South-Eastern City — location for air battles.

Location and mission updates

  • New template for helicopter PvE. Allows players to land in enemy territory in order to "pick up an agent". The players will need to land on the selected point and capture the area then return to any of their own landing points.
  • Cover fighters escorting AI attackers have been disabled in helicopter PvE.
  • The sets of AI units, in helicopter PvE, used by the missions have been adjusted to the current matching ranks to prevent high-rank units from entering battles to the initial helicopters.
  • All "ground attack" missions with participation of heavy ground vehicles (marked on map with a tank icon) have been reworded:
    • Replacement of new more elaborate vehicle models with older models of acceptable quality where it isn't affecting gameplay;
    • Decreasing the number of tanks;
    • Overall reduction in the number of vehicles.
  • All this allowed for significant increase in performance on previous generation consoles and on weak PCs: the average FPS on test configuration in the mission "African Canyon" increased on average by about 30%.
  • Location Sun City has been reworked: the detalization improved (in the city outskirts mostly); a pass through all three capture zones has been added.
  • House buildings in the location "Poland" have been reworked.
  • "White Rock Fortress" location has been sent for reworking.

Every variant of the missions now can be played in any gaming mode of the available Battle ratings.
  • [Battle] missions on locations "Fulda Gap", "Maginot Line", "Vietnam", "Sweden", "Finland", "Cargo Port", "Poland", "Fields of Poland" have been reworked to place capture points closer to the respawns, instead of the missions area edges.
  • [Battle] the mission in the "Campania" location in Arcade battles now has similar spawn points as in the Realistic and Simulator battles.
  • [Battle] the mission in the "Sands of Sinai" location now has a second spawn zone for each team.
  • New missions [Domination #2] have been added to the locations "Second Battle of El Alamein", ''Mozdok",''Hurtgen Forest". Previous [Domination] missions have been renamed to [Domination #1] .

Enduring Confrontation

  • The new "F-14A" loading screen that you can get by playing 100 random battles with an activity of 70% or more in the F-14A Early has been added.

Interface

  • The mechanics of the view of offers of the available author's camouflages on the market has been improved. Now the offer can be shown again no earlier than 3 months after the previous review and only if players don't own this camouflage. For the same vehicle offers for different camouflages can be shown no more than once in a week.
  • 40 camouflages from the previously released trophies have been added to the offers of any being viewed that are available on the market.
  • Aircraft HUD has been improved: rocket sight reworked, 3rd person view bombsight updated, seeker area markers and lock-on markers with air-to-air missiles, as well as flight and engine parameters. The colour of the updated indicators can be changed separately in settings, both for sights and flight parameters.
  • Icons, allowing quick analysis of the result of a shot have been added for the ground vehicle's hit camera. Schematic information about remaining crew members, about the ability of the hit vehicle to fire (gun icon), move (engine icon), point the cannon (guidance icon) and condition of the tracks are displayed.
  • Hit camera for naval vessels has been updated. Now a close-up highlights the area of the enemy vessel that received a hit and individual icons show the damage status.

Game mechanics

  • The mechanics of active radar seekers have been added. Active radar seekers, unlike the semi-active, are autonomous and do not require external target illumination. This allows the use of the "fire and forget" principle, but the lock-on distance of the active seekers is significantly shorter, which is why, when launched at longer distances, inertial navigation is used for the most of the trajectory.
  • The mechanics of the radar-aided inertial navigation has been added. Radar-aided inertial navigation is enabled while the radar tracks a target. The use of radio correction of the inertial navigation makes it possible to increase the accuracy of guidance if a target manoeuvres after missile launch at a distance greater than the seeker lock-on distance, as well as to correct errors in the initial launch conditions.
  • The track-while-scan mode of radars has been added. This mode allows the radar to track multiple targets while scanning. This mode has the following features:
    • The track-while-scan mode prevents a target's radar warning system from detecting a missile, in contrast with the classical methods of tracking by, for example, a conical scanning, thus decreasing a target's awareness about attack.
    • In the track-while-scan mode it is possible to deploy any type of armament, except for semi-active seeker missiles.
    • The track-while-scan mode provides a target designation for the homing seekers without interruption to radar whilst scanning.
    • The marker of the acquired target displays in the HUD and other tracked targets displays only in the radar indicator. You can toggle targets by pressing the "Select Radar/IRST target to lock" button.
  • Arcade Battles no longer use a multiplier that increases the capture zone of the homing head of air-to-air missiles. The scanning and capture zone parameters for air-to-air missiles in AB are now the same as in RB and use real missile parameters. This mechanic was originally intended to increase the effectiveness of early air-to-air missiles in AB but the emergence of more manoeuvrable missiles in the game and the mass proliferation of the flares led to the fact that arcade increase of the scanning area of the homing head of the guided air-to-air missiles began to degrade the battle performance of the missile due to lower resolution and difficulty to capture the target the player wanted and higher probability of the missile leaving for flares.
  • Added mechanics of a new type of weapons for aircraft - incendiary bombs.

Graphics

  • The appearance of decals from explosions and shots on different surfaces of the landscape has been improved.
  • The following visual effects have been reworked:
    • Smoke traces from the motor of air-to-air and air-to-ground guided missiles.
    • Effects of ground vehicles moving on different types of surfaces.
    • Effect of detonation of AP shells in the air.
    • Effect of muzzle gases from the breech of the ZSU 2S6
    • Effect of shell of calibre 8-18 mm hitting.
    • Effect of leaves falling from fallen trees.
    • Effect of the hard-kill active protection rounds
  • All tracer rounds now have the effect of the colour shift from initiator colour to the tracer colour on trajectory. The effect of tracer destruction with tracer tearing off has been added. Tracer can break off ricocheted tracer ammunition or if it fails to penetrate an obstacle.
  • Temporal anti-aliasing (TAA) has been improved. TAA works faster, the ghosting effect of tanks through the environment has been removed, and overall quality has increased. Since the new TAA algorithm works faster, previous standard quality TAA is no longer used and has been removed from the options. New TAA algorithm enabled by default, if any of the previous algorithms were enabled before.
  • The display of the visual effects in thermal imagers and night vision devices has been improved. Displaying of small particles like sparks has been added. Temperatures on the effects of armour-piercing shells hitting the landscape have been fixed.
  • The display time of some effects of crashed aircraft has been reduced.
  • Light sources depended on surface type have been added to effects of large calibre shells hits.
  • For PC users, a GPU Benchmark has been added, where after loading into the hangar, a system test to determine the recommended graphics settings is presented once. Re-testing, if necessary, can be launched by opening Options > Graphics > GPU Benchmark.

Sound

  • Engines in all ground vehicles now have new sounds, except for VFM 5, IKV 103, IKV 91, PVRBV 551, STRF 90. Special emphasis is made on the naturalness of sounds both from inside and outside the vehicles.
  • Tanks of the ZTZ-99 series have received their own unique engine sounds.
  • New sounds have been created for tracks and hull vibrations of ground vehicles while turning.
  • New sound design of the turret rotation mechanism on ground vehicles has been created.
  • TOW ATGM received a new more realistic sound design - the clap of a 'squib' before firing. This 'squib' opens a nitrogen cylinder, the release energy of which should spin the gyroscope. Its old sound design - the buzzing of an electric drive of a spinning gyroscope was transferred to Soviet ATGMs since they should also have this sound.
  • M61 Vulcan cannon — new sounds have been added.
  • New sounds for the PG87 and ZU-23-2 cannons have been created.

Controls

  • The value of "Camera Mouse Look Speed" is now consistent across all vehicle types. Previously, in ground vehicles, the applied value was lower, which in turn required different settings for ground vehicles and aircraft.

Other

  • The mechanics to rewind client replays has been added. The rewind is performed between recorded key points in a replay. To be able to rewind the replay, it must be recorded with the setting "Settings" - "Replays and viewer mode" - "Record a rewindable replay" enabled. Here you can also select the frequency of keypoint recording. Recording keypoints requires additional PC or console resources and on weak PCs may cause short-term FPS drops at the moment of recording the keypoint, especially in heavy loaded battles and naval battles of large ships. Therefore the activation of this feature is left to the player's discretion.
  • New optional 3rd person view camera has been added for helicopter battles. It can be found in "Settings" - "Helicopter battle settings" - "Cinematic 3rd person view camera". This camera uses a 10 degrees smaller field of view which allows a better view of the helicopter and has a slight shift on the horizontal axis.
