Server Update 30.12.2025

[Friedrich84e]

Aircraft

• Su-27/30 family of aircraft (J-11, Su-33, Su-34 included) — the lift on high angles of attack has been increased, balance on high AoA has been adjusted, the maximum AoA turn characteristics have been adjusted to closer match those in the Su-27SK manual. (Report).

Ground Vehicles

• BMPT, BMPT-72 — when external 30 mm cannon ammo catches fire, the cannon breeches, autoloader and vertical drive will be destroyed. The belt between the cannon breeches and main ammo stowage in the crew compartment is what’s considered to be external ammo.

Locations and Missions

• Arctic (all missions) — a bug that caused the aircraft to spawn underground has been fixed. (Report). All temporarily disabled missions on this location have been added back into rotation.

Shame they wont do this to the Harriers despite reports being in for it

[Fragal]

doesn’t look external to me and why no br increase?

[XxBLAZEFIRExX]

This game could use a year of just pure model correction and bug fixing lmao

[TheDudesRug]

The BMPT domination will continue (which is good for grinding the ground event stars).

You mean it „was“ considered external ammo? Right?

Repair simulator, but a good nerf in a way. Wish it still killed them though, they’re just gonna pop their heads out again in 30 seconds.

@Friedrich84e

the maximum AoA turn characteristics have been adjusted

A buff to a plane that has now been on top with the Rafale before this change.

More slav bias for slop players.

Agreed. Alot so many many features and vehicles arent correctly implemented… When its been like, 3-5+ years for so many “historical” issues.

Looking at the: The Autocannon Muzzle flashbangs / Sweden not having actual 40mm L/70 ammunition for its 40mm L/70 guns, its currently just a placeholder L/60 with 2x fire-rate / Most 40mm Bofors and 37mm etcetc… AA guns have no chell ejections on ground vehicles

The Cv 90s lacking UTAAS sights because its not a mechanic yet aand- they cant even get a placeholder or the new mechanic it needs for it to work…

And alot more.

Bug greports for some of the mentioned issues

Can somebody please tell me which part of this is external because I can’t see it…

[JapanWeeb89]

You see there’s a protective plate that will absorb the explosion in order to protect the crew, is not modeled but you have to believe it is there, is also not in any diagram or even brochures because my source is that I just made it up

It’s not enough. The tank needs to blow up if the Atakas are destroyed oe if you hit the belt,period.

Are you unaware of the Ballistically Advanced Low-observable Layered Shielding technology that russia has developed? Smh you are clearly ignorant.

[mineLo]

Thanks for making me aware of the BALLS technology.

Does the CUM BLAST have a chance at countering it?

[CollectorOfSins]

HAHAHAHAH Oh wait that’s a real thing…

[TheDudesRug]

Second game after this update

Spoiler

Stop the silly nerfs. Move it up in BR, instead.
