* '''FW 190 (all modifications)''' — automatic tailplane positioning for landing mode has been enabled to facilitate three-point position. Flap angles have been specified, as well as their polarity in all positions. Combat flaps effectiveness has been increased.  Extending landing gear changes the balance of the aircraft slightly making the tail lighter. Landing roll without brakes has been increased significantly, brake effectiveness has been increased, which may cause nose-over when landing on the main gear with brakes enabled. Aircraft controls in all control modes have been improved. WEP time has been limited to reference values.

Flap angles have been specified, as well as their polarity in all positions. Extending landing gear changes the balance of the aircraft slightly making the tail lighter. Landing roll without brakes has been increased significantly, brake effectiveness has been increased, which may cause nose-over when landing on the main gear with brakes enabled. All thrusts to control surfaces have been replaced with tubular control, which makes control more precise in any flight mode. The operation of the propeller group at high altitudes has been significantly improved (operating modes of the GM-1 system). Heating of the engine at low flight speeds has been reduced due to the natural action of cooling the system with the oncoming air stream.

Changes to protection parameters of the American and Soviet MBTs
 +
 +
In the recently published changelog for the "Raining Fire" update, a few mistakes were made in the protection parameters of Soviet MBTs, while those parameters in the game were mostly set correctly. We have corrected these issues, and now present the latest protection values. In addition, the protection parameters on the M1 Abrams series of tanks have been adjusted.
 +
 +
For turrets of Soviet MBT’s, the protection values ​​in the sector of course angles ± 30° from the vehicle axis are used; this means that when a tank gets hit from these angles, protection is provided at a minimum as indicated. In the case of hitting from a course angle of 0°, the protection might be noticeably higher than that indicated and strongly depends on the point of impact on the turret.
 +
 +
For tanks of the M1 series, the protection is indicated separately for the left and right sides of the turret due to their different inclination angles. It is assumed that, structurally, the turret ‘cheeks’ and lower frontal hull armor plate represent the same obstacle, installed at different angles. Because of this, the equivalent protection of the lower front plate is set slightly higher than that indicated for M1A2 in the publication "Stridsfordon idag och imorgon. Ett föredrag om Svenskt Pansar med utgångspunkt i historien".
 +
 +
These changes are not final and may be clarified and revised further in case of new documentary sources.

New locations and missions

  • Naval missions for the location "Aleutian Islands".
  • New aircraft location "winter Mozdok" has been added.
  • New historical aircraft missions:
    • Mozdok. Winter 1943
    • Moscow. 42nd kilometer
    • Moscow. Naro-Fominsk
    • Moscow. Serpukhov

Location and mission updates

  • Some fixes have been made to the "Moscow" aircraft location - missing rivers on the southern part of the map have been added.
  • The map of the aircraft location for "Moscow" has been redesigned for better readability. Now it has less settlement names but they should read normally.

Changes in the historical aircraft missions:

  • Ladoga - Mission has been reworked. Also changes have been made from the general list.
  • Khalkhin Gol - Changes from the general list.
  • Korsun - Changes from the general list.
  • Krymsk - Mission has been reworked. Also changes have been made from the general list.
  • Kursk - Changes from the general list.
  • Mozdok - Mission has been reworked. Also changes have been made from the general list.
  • Normandy - Mission has been reworked. Also changes have been made from the general list.

List of general changes:

  • Base models for bombing have been changed to the correct ones, their functionality is now similar to "Enduring Confrontation" mode. After destruction, bases may respawn randomly in certain positions, designed for every mission.
  • Airfields have been removed from the target list, they can not be destroyed now.
  • Airfield models and their location towards the centre of locations have been standardised. In low-tier battles they are located 12 kilometres from the location's centre; mid-tier - 20 kilometres; high-tier - 26 kilometres. Previously, all tiers had airfields located 20 km away from the location’s centre.
  • The size of an airfield now depends on the battle’s rank.
  • Mid-tier missions now have stage airfields, located 12 km away from the location’s centre.

Enduring Confrontation

  • In the Enduring Confrontation mode in the "English Channel" location, a 4th sea port has been added for each side. The total number of sea ports in the mission is now 8.
  • Aircraft that are in the air will no longer be counted in capturing the sea ports.
  • New Naval Enduring Confrontation in the "Denmark" location has been added. 4 seaports for each side which is 8 in total and the size of the battlefield is 86x86 km.

Ground Vehicle model, damage model, characteristic and weaponry changes:

Aircraft model, damage model, characteristic and weaponry changes:

Flight model changes

  • Fw 190 (all modifications) — automatic tailplane positioning for landing mode has been enabled to facilitate three-point position. Flap angles have been specified, as well as their polarity in all positions. Combat flaps effectiveness has been increased. Extending landing gear changes the balance of the aircraft slightly making the tail lighter. Landing roll without brakes has been increased significantly, brake effectiveness has been increased, which may cause nose-over when landing on the main gear with brakes enabled. Aircraft controls in all control modes have been improved. WEP time has been limited to reference values.
  • F-104 (all modifications) — combat flaps mode has been removed in accordance with the operation manual.
  • VB.10C-1, VB.10-02 — flight model and engine model have been specified, engine power on 100% (take-off mode) has been increased. Supercharger has been converted to 1-speed with intake guide vanes (100% power and WEP mode are now constant to the altitude of about 6000 meters). Landing characteristics have been improved.
  • A-4B — bug has been fixed with low roll rate. Roll rate is set to 270 degrees per second, according to the operation manual.
  • He 100 D1 / J1N1 / G4M1 / He 112 (all modifications) / Bf 110 (all modifications) — flight model has been updated. Distribution of fuel between the tanks has been corrected. Wings, fuselage, tail and propeller blade polars have been recalculated and updated. Aircraft behavior has been corrected during extending the landing gear and flaps.
  • F4U-1 (all modifications) — a bug has been fixed which periodically resulted in a sharp change in engine speed at overestimated values.
  • Ta 152-H1 - Trimmable stabilizer automatically switches to landing position when the flaps are extended to facilitate three-point position. Flap angles have been specified, as well as their polarity in all positions. Extending landing gear changes the balance of the aircraft slightly making the tail lighter. Landing roll without brakes has been increased significantly, brake effectiveness has been increased, which may cause nose-over when landing on the main gear with brakes enabled. All thrusts to control surfaces have been replaced with tubular control, which makes control more precise in any flight mode. The operation of the propeller group at high altitudes has been significantly improved (operating modes of the GM-1 system). Heating of the engine at low flight speeds has been reduced due to the natural action of cooling the system with the oncoming air stream.
  • I-225 - pitch controls at high speeds have been significantly improved. Extending landing gear changes the balance of the aircraft slightly making the tail lighter. Landing roll without brakes has been increased significantly, brake effectiveness has been increased, which may cause nose-over when landing on the main gear with brakes enabled. Upside-down flight time has been reduced.
  • A laser detection system has been added for the following helicopters:

Naval fleet model, damage model, characteristic and weaponry changes:

Armament:

Naval modifications and crew skills:

  • A bug in determining greater distance by the Improved Rangefinder modification has been fixed.
  • Stefano Turr - ‘Auxiliary Armament Targeting’ modification has been removed, RP and SL have been refunded.

Naval characteristics, physics and damage model:

  • The rudder deflection speed and maximum deflection angle have been changed:
    • Light motor boat controls have become much more dynamic.
    • Escort ships with a displacement of about 800 tons will enter turns faster.
    • Little or no change for destroyers and light cruisers.
    • Rudder moving time from one side to another on heavy cruisers has become about 20% faster.
  • Fire mechanics changes - damage, fire time, and ignition points have been revisited. Every fire how has two stages:
    • Initial stage - with low effect. Fire draws, dealing low damage to the crew. Mechanisms and modules take no damage.
    • Main stage - main effect, depending on fire scale, Fire draws further, damaging a module where it sets, as well as modules around it.
      • Initial stage is short, but sufficient to bring fire down, making damage from ignition minimal. Any compartment or module can be burned out - in this case there's a high chance that the fire will cease and won’t spread. The destruction of the artillery unit or turret has a high chance to be followed by fire. This fire can also spread to other modules around.
  • Ammo stowage durability of destroyers and cruisers has been increased for separate loading main calibre guns. Thickness of the loaded projectiles’ cases has been increased according to the calibre. Explosion, fire, and shrapnel resistance have been increased.
  • USS Atlanta (CL-51) - damage model of the stern ammo stowage has been fixed, Previously, it was too large in size.
  • IJN Tone - thicknesses and forms of armoring of barbets, cutouts in the armored deck, protection of supply pipes, bow and stern traverses have been fixed.
  • Köln F220 - Additional armour for the 40mm launchers has been added.
  • The amount of the crew members has been fixed for the following Italian vessels:
  • All Italian boats - The size of the ammunition magazines has been reduced.
  • HMS London, HMS Kent - The armour layout and armour thickness of the ammunition storages have been fixed.
  • Type 1936А (Mob) — The filling of ammunition in the aft magazine has been fixed.
  • Kanonenboot K-2 — The intersections of the armour deck and ammunition magazines have been fixed.

  • The collection trophy for consoles has been added.

Interface

  • Possibility of selecting the aircraft weaponry presets to a "favorite" block has been added.
  • The camera in the fleet hangar has been improved: its movement is now smoother, and the camera itself is placed at the same distance from the vessel.

Game mechanics

  • Protection analysis for aircraft has been added.
  • Shells in the damage model now have volumetric dimensions/sizes corresponding to the real size of the shell.
  • A laser radar system has been added for vehicles equipped with a detection warning system.

  • The distance for the identification of naval vessels in battles has been increased (switching of the name of the ship on an enemy marker).

Graphics

  • The visual effect of an engine fire on destroyers and cruisers has been completely redesigned. New logic has been added to places where smoke and fire effects occur.

Sound

  • The sounds of cannons and machine guns of land and sea vehicles have been corrected towards greater clarity. The low-frequency component of the shot has also been emphasized.
  • New sound events for the M61 rotary gun (SPAAG M163) have been created.
  • Principle of reverb response for all sounds has been changed in order to make the sound more natural. Previously, algorithmic reverberation was used (real-time calculation of the reflection of sound from a certain virtual volume, the parameters of which are set by a mathematical function), now convolution reverberation is used (that is, the application of the convolution operation to the original sound in the game, and the reference sound recorded in real conditions). For sounds inside the cockpit of an aircraft or a tank, real reflections (impulse response of a real volume, like street, room, cockpit, etc.) are used, recorded in the interiors of actual military vehicles. For the sounds of the environment, real reflections were used, recorded in the field, and in areas with medium and dense buildings. Also, when approaching the ground on an aircraft with a third person view, you can feel the reflections of sounds from the land surface.
  • Sounds of flying bullets and shells have been changed. Now they click or clap as they fly past the listener.
  • A bug has been fixed due to which the shell/bullet flypast sound was played when hitting the player's vehicle. Now the sound of flight only sounds when it passes by.

Changes to protection parameters of the American and Soviet MBTs

In the recently published changelog for the "Raining Fire" update, a few mistakes were made in the protection parameters of Soviet MBTs, while those parameters in the game were mostly set correctly. We have corrected these issues, and now present the latest protection values. In addition, the protection parameters on the M1 Abrams series of tanks have been adjusted.

For turrets of Soviet MBT’s, the protection values ​​in the sector of course angles ± 30° from the vehicle axis are used; this means that when a tank gets hit from these angles, protection is provided at a minimum as indicated. In the case of hitting from a course angle of 0°, the protection might be noticeably higher than that indicated and strongly depends on the point of impact on the turret.

For tanks of the M1 series, the protection is indicated separately for the left and right sides of the turret due to their different inclination angles. It is assumed that, structurally, the turret ‘cheeks’ and lower frontal hull armor plate represent the same obstacle, installed at different angles. Because of this, the equivalent protection of the lower front plate is set slightly higher than that indicated for M1A2 in the publication "Stridsfordon idag och imorgon. Ett föredrag om Svenskt Pansar med utgångspunkt i historien".

These changes are not final and may be clarified and revised further in case of new documentary sources.
