Update "Wind of Change"

Update "Wind of Change" (changelog) was introduced on 24 March 2022. This update is notable for the introduction of the Israeli ground vehicle tree and the first Israeli helicopter, the Swedish helicopter tree, and new ultra high quality textures and graphical effects.

Though the update numbering has been dropped since Update "Starfighters", the game version is still present in-game to indicate the update as 2.15

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

Naval weaponry:

• Fire control system has been added to:
  • Akebono
  • Ikazuchi
• Radar has been added to:
  • RN Eugenio di Savoia
  • Kerch
• Shell type changes:
  • 200mm Type 88 AP round - from APC to APCBC
  • 305mm Mark IIa semi-AP round - from CPC to SAPCBC 343mm semi-AP round- from CPC to SAPCBC

Naval characteristics, physics and damage model:

• Anti-torpedo bulges have been fixed. Previously, they might not work against torpedoes with fewer explosives than what they were designed for.
• Hull break parameters of destroyers and cruisers have been adjusted for torpedo hits in the centre of a ship. Destroyers could be insta-killed by torpedoes with the explosives weight over 300 kg. Torpedoes with over 500 kg of explosives are able to hull break destroyers by hitting at almost any part. Light cruisers can have their hull broken by torpedoes of over 500 kg of explosives when hit in the middle of a ship. Ammo stowages can also be blown up by torpedo hits.
• In Arcade battles, parameters of the torpedo dive before it hits a battleship or heavy cruiser. Previously, a torpedo may lack a depth, and it might hit the armour belt, especially when a ship motions on waves.
• Reload time penalty has been disabled in the AB, when an ammo elevator is damaged or destroyed.
• All naval guns have had their shell dispersion ellipse adjusted. Based on historical materials that were used to fix the ballistics of shells in the previous update (the list was published in the notes for update "Winged Lions"), we recalculated the size of the shell dispersion ellipses in a salvo. The size of the ellipse has been significantly reduced, allowing you to hit a target at a greater distance more often.
• Armour belts and vertical armoring of battleships have been separated into destructible plates. Armour belt plates and internal vertical longitudinal armour in battleships can now be destroyed by kinetic and explosive damage. For example, to destroy a 350 mm armour plate, 2-4 direct hits with a 305 mm armour-piercing projectile will be required. The lower the kinetic energy of the projectile, the less damage it can cause to the armour plate. Projectiles with relatively low energy are not able to destroy the armour plate. After destruction, the armour plate will be considered destroyed and passes the shock wave and some of the fragments behind, and can also pass the armour-piercing projectile, which will nearly not lose its penetrating capability.
• The flooding mechanics have been reworked for all ships. The capacity of the drainage pumps is now evenly distributed over the entire vessel. The time of pumping water depends entirely on the serviceability of the pumps and the amount of water in the interior of the ship. In general, the pumping time of one compartment has been reduced, and the pumping of several compartments at the same time has become more levelled.
• Crew compartments have been redistributed on all bigger ships, the crew has also been distributed among all compartments and modules in such a way that most of it is concentrated in the bridge (or in the area of the conditional bridge). The smallest amount is located at the extremities. And sometimes they don't exist at all.
• Positions of the plot rooms have been corrected on RN Eugenio di Savoia, Kerch, and US cruisers and battleships.
• Positions of modules and armour have been corrected for SGB Grey Goose and SGB Grey fox.
• Size of fuel tanks has been corrected for the Т31 and Т22 destroyers, in accordance to the blueprints.
• Position of the ammo stowages of the main calibre guns has been corrected in accordance to the blueprints:
  • HMS Calpe
  • HMS Brissenden
  • USS Helena
• Armoring has been adjusted in accordance to the blueprints:
  • Scharnhorst
  • USS Wyoming
  • USS North Dakota
  • USS Pensacola
  • USS Northampton
  • USS Portland
• Admiral Graf Spee - armour has been adjusted. Central part of the armour belt: 100mm=>80mm. (Source: RM 25/7020 RM 25/7270 RM 25/7232)

Naval Visual models and visual parts:

• All ships with cannon artillery now feature uneven salvo mechanics. Previously, all guns and turrets fired simultaneous salvoes. Now, there is an interval between shots fired from different guns and turrets on a ship. The interval duration depends on conditional excellence of the fire control systems: the older the ship, the longer the interval between shots in a salvo. For example, a salvo of casemate guns located on the battery deck, in single casemates or grouped in platoons, is able to fire only by command of the first crew member, has the longest interval between shots. Post-war automatic and semi-automatic guns with remote fire control will fire simultaneously, as before. The sequence of shots in a salvo is random each time. The new mechanics are designed to diversify the visuals of the game.
• USS Raleigh - AA guns have been changed to comply with the layout of the year 1942.
• Flags animation has been corrected:
  • USS Barker
  • USS Welborn C Wood
  • USS Raleigh
  • SMS Westfalen
  • HMS Kent
• RM Eugenio Di Savoia - shields on 20mm AA guns have been removed.
• USS Aylwin - draught has been adjusted
• HMS Kelvin: Type 291 radar removed in accordance with the equipment of the ship in 1939.

Other

• Flusi 1 has been renamed to Krischan der Große
• Tashkent - a bug with the display of the stern rangefinder has been fixed.

Economy and research

• The timer for switching the battle trophies with vehicles in the item store to the new ones has been added. The switch will take place at 12:00 GMT on the 10th of April.

Customization

• Sets of Israeli decals for aircraft and decorations for ground vehicles, available for completing tasks and purchasing for GE, have been added.
• Profile icons 'modern tankmen' have been enabled.
• New decals for repair assistance and fire extinguishment assistance have been added.
• T-64B, ZSU-23-4 - new late single tone camo has been added, available for completing tasks and purchasing for GE. Terms of obtaining other camos have been recalculated.

Awards

• Set of Israeli medals has been added.

Interface

• Resolution of icons in the modification window, suspended weaponry and icons in the quick access panel (shells, artillery call, scouting, smoke grenades etc) have been improved.

Game mechanics

• Fire extinguishment assistance is now available for all allies (previously was available for squad mates and light tanks only).
• Repair assistance is now available for all allies (previously was available for squad mates and light tanks only). Squad mates and light tanks accelerate the repair x3, other types of allied vehicles - x2.
• Ships now provide repair assistance automatically, instead of by holding a button, since the assistance does not impose any restrictions on them, unlike ground vehicles.
• A tooltip has been added with a suggestion to thank an ally after successfully helping to repair or extinguish a fire by pressing the "Radio message to the team" button once. When you press the button, a "Thank you!" radio message will be sent to the team chat.
• A tooltip has been added with a suggestion to apologize to the allies after the destruction of a member of their team by pressing the "Radio message to the team" button once. When you press the button, a radio message "Sorry!" will be sent to the team chat.
• Manual target designation has been added for radars. 2 control axes are used to move the designation cue. This designation method can be used instead of target cycling.

Changes specific to the PlayStation® platform.

• Ultra-high definition textures presets have been added as DLC for playing at 1440/2140p: for ground vehicles and environments, aircraft and all models and environments in the game.

Changes specific to the Xbox platform.

• Ultra-high definition textures presets have been added as DLC for playing at 1440/2140p: for ground vehicles and environments, aircraft and all models and environments in the game.
