Aircraft

  • A-6E TRAM, F-4F KWS LV — a bug that caused the azimuth steering line to not be visible in CCRP mode has been fixed. (Report).

Ground Vehicles

  • Pz.IV (C, E, F2, G, H) — turret rotation speed has been increased from 15°/s to 16°/s. (Report).
  • Tetrarch I — turret rotation speed value has been increased from 16°/s to 21°/s. (Report).
  • ZSU-57-2 — turret rotation speed value has been decreased from 60°/s to 30°/s. (Report).

Missions

  • The [Conquest #3] Campania mission has been disabled in all game modes due to the positions of the spawn points and capture point which lead to players ignoring the capture point and confronting the enemy spawn instead.

Other

  • BattlEye anti-cheat has been enabled for Linux and MacOS.

Nice!

But why is there still no azimuth steering info for all the other affected aircrafts (all other F-4E’s and later, F-111’s, F-105,…)

You forgot to mention F1.

Also the Bef.Wg.IV Ausf.J turret traverse sound is still electirc in game. Some time ago it was noted that it was because its a upgraded variant, tho the turret traverse speed wasnt increased to 16°/sec, but stayes at hand traverse in game. Will you change the sound then?

A good decision. And VERY late to it.
Also, it is not the only map and variant which needs to get this treatment.

One of like what, 4-5 maps like this, where sniping spawns is primary objective for over half the team.

Damn, another buff for British rank 1. I am saying that British rank 1 is the best in the game for a long time now and this is just another buff on top of it.

That ZSU nerf though, I could easily see it go down in BR because of that. I didn’t even manage to spade it in time. It is already hard to engage fast planes with that and this will make it significantly harder.
I am kinda surprised that CIA documents had to be used for that.

What about the vertical line of the AMX-A1 sight? For some reason, after activating the vertical line of the ccrp in the sight mode for bombs (auto) it disappears depending on the altitude, making it impossible to use this line to bomb targets at high altitudes. Will this be fixed?
