Aircraft

  • Switching to ACM and HMD modes for radars on the F-16C Block 50, F-16D Block 40 Barak II, Mirage 2000-5F and J-8F now works in the same way it worked for radars on all MiG-29s and on the Yak-141. From standby mode, radars are switched by “Lock Radar/IRST on target” command into “HMD” mode and by “Radar/IRST beyond/within visual range combat” command into “ACM” mode.
  • APP-73 RWR used on the JA37 will detect radar illumination for SARH missiles.
  • Saab A32A, Saab A32A Röd Adam — a bug that caused the area where chaff is released from to be covered has been fixed. (Report)
  • Bf 109 F-4 (Hungary) — a bug that caused cannons on the wings to be displayed in X-Ray mode when bombs were equipped has been fixed. (Report)
  • Mirage 2000D-R1 — the sequence of firing the countermeasures has been corrected. (Report)

A-4H Skyhawk — a bug that caused RWR indication to not be displayed in the cockpit has been fixed. (Report)

Naval

  • HMS Renown, USS Des Moines, USS Newport News, USS Texas — information about armor and maximum speed in the stat card has been corrected.
  • A bug where after hitting an enemy ship, smoke from its funnels were displayed as clouds rather than a continuous smoke stream has been fixed.
  • Opytny, La Combattante, SMS Sachsen, IJN Yamashiro — the camera position and its distance to the ship has been changed in accordance with ships of this class. The roll force (heel) during a circle turn has been adjusted.

Interface

  • Priority has been added to Market camouflages when using the Auto camouflage option in battle, which depends on the type of map.
  • A search bar and the possibility of filtering by vehicle rank has been added to the Service Record.
  • A bug that made it impossible to report repairs from the radio command menu while repairing an aircraft has been fixed.
  • While in replays, a bug that caused tooltips to blink when hovering over the action panel has been fixed.
  • The text that displays the number of online players and battles in the hangar has been given a slight shadow so that it’s easier to read whilst against the backdrop of clouds/sky.
  • An aircraft icon has been added to the compass when a player uses the air alert radio command.

“Priority has been added to Market camouflages when using the Auto camouflage option in battle, which depends on the type of map.”

I like this, buuut… I really wish I could set a preferred camo per type of map… I often have nicer camos for GE / kills, and I hate it when I get the default camo or something instead of my shiny new and cool one…

regarding this " Switching to ACM and HMD modes for radars on the F-16C Block 50, F-16D Block 40 Barak II, Mirage 2000-5F and J-8F now works in the same way it worked for radars on all MiG-29s and on the Yak-141. From standby mode, radars are switched by “Lock Radar/IRST on target” command into “HMD” mode and by “Radar/IRST beyond/within visual range combat” command into “ACM” mode." Can we get to know why radar forces you to HMD mode when losing lock or resetting lock in ACM mode? it’s really annoying since you have to switch modes again to get into ACM.

Tunisia and Finland map are completely removed from the rotation 3 weeks ago. Is intentional or just another bug related to Map Rotation???

Bias? seriously, the ozelot is a squirrel in size compared to the strela, and the ozelot has a sighting radar, while the strela only has an acquisition radar, which means you can only spot a plane with your eyes, and you have thermals too.
You guys have the bias that you cannot objectively analyze your vehicles and believe that everything Russian is superior just because russia.

Yes, but missing radar doesn’t bother Strela player to spot me from 6km at medium alt after side map approach for some reason

And I’m against overbuffing AAMs for SPAA, better to increase CAS spawn cost

If you can’t shoot the damn plane down, then it doesn’t matter if you can see it or not. Stingers are a joke. Implementation of data link, dual band IR/UV seeker and increased G limit of Stingers is needed if the Ozelot is supposed to stay at 9.7.
