You forgot they removed the radar identification for NATO radars but let Russian radars keep them.

Ammo Box mechanic is great.
Especially with it applying to SPAA, ATGM carriers, and TDs.
May the 90/53 M41M, M42, SU-5-1, and whatever other vehicles rejoice at last

I mean you can use those on PC too

This update has literally been rumored and talk over a month plus

It is not a good sign when an update that has been known about for a month plus now keeps getting delayed and delayed. There must be one heck of a problem being seen on the devs side with something. Something meta breaking or a bug

Delayed most likely due to technical challenges associated with Ray Tracing…

And honestly, I am glad they are taking their time to realease it in good condition rather than rushing it unoptimised.

In the first Dev Server, enabling Ray Tracing dropped my FPS from 160 to 30, which is an unacceptable drop in performance;
However, in the second Dev Server, enabling Ray Tracing dropped my FPS from 160 to 60; 30 FPS higher than the first Dev Server.

That means that, between each iteration of the dev server, they optimised and stabilised Ray Tracing significantly; and I can only hope they are further improving it by the time live server arrives so that my FPS won’t drop below, at least, 90.

I understand that Ray Tracing is inevitabily going to have an impact on performance; but going from 160 to 30 was just way too extreme… there were even people on Reddit and the Forums with 1,000€ GPUs who also couldn’t get past 40 FPS… the update was in no condition to be released like that.
