It is only active for all BR’s in Ground Realistic mode. For Ground Arcade it is only required if your lineup has an 11.0 BR’s or higher vehicle. 10.7 BR and below Ground Arcade it is not active nor required.
It is also not active nor required for Air Arcade and Realistic unless your lineup has a vehicle over 11.0 BR.
They are planning on lowering the BR thresholds over time:
You can test it for yourself, I already have. Ground Arcade cutoff = 11.0 BR. Air Arcade+Realistic cutoff = 11.0 BR.
glad it was fixed so quickly, they are good decorations and the improvements are really nice. Hope there are more in a similar vein to them in the future. Any odds of an obscenely large towering decoration for naval vehicles?
This update was like 10MB for me, i think there is something else that has gone wrong perhaps. Like for example file corruption and the file verification needed to re-download some files to fix it.
Once in a blue moon and with no discernal pattern. Steam will just randomly decide to practically re-install a game instead of update it. Ive had random times where what should be a small update is nearly the size of the entire game
