A summary of the key changes for this dev server session:
In this latest dev server testing, new weather conditions have been added — this will significantly increase the diversity while in battles. We’ve tried to adjust the weather options in such a way that does not affect visibility, especially for aviation. Dynamic tone mapping is now enabled in the PostFX settings by default — this change toggles the contrast filter settings, depending on the time of day of the mission. When the sun is behind or in front of you, bright snow that covers maps will not affect your gameplay as much, and vehicles located in the shadows have become more visible at the current level of illumination.
All vehicles in the game have received new and nicer images on their stat cards. Now, they’re all made in the same style — we hope that you’ll like it and that they are easier to see.
There are also new conditions for completing tasks that are required to obtain vehicle camouflages. In general, the conditions for obtaining the first camouflage have been reduced, and the research of new ones has become more logical and uniform, taking into account the type of vehicle and gamemode.
The progress of your test account on the dev server was not reset, and will be the same progress that you had at the end of the previous dev server test session. And, as always with dev servers, achievements as well as earned and spent in-game currency are not transferred to the live, main game servers. This also applies to any Golden Eagles, Silver Lions, and Research Points that are spent on the dev server — it will not be subtracted from your live server account.
