New locations and missions

“Arctic” location for combined battles.


“Rocky Canyon” location for aircraft battles.



Enduring Confrontation

All pillboxes in ground battles have been replaced with tanks.


Standardisation of tank types by BR and armour for different matchmaking ranks and nations.


Ground vehicles of rank VII have been added to the templates for ground battles and convoys.


AAA around bombing bases has been moved to a system of importing units from a rank based list - now each rank will have its own air defense and not 88mm AAA from WWII era.


The logic of bombing bases, airfields, port and sea convoy templates has been redesigned that allows the “saving” of about 100 units which should reduce the server load.


In events where aircraft AI glitches and sends AI bombers/Attackers over the playable map area, a mechanic has been introduced that checks if the AI aircraft are in the wrong place, checks if they have completed the task, resets the AI for the selected aircraft and if the task is completed hides the aircraft by marking the task as completed and if not looks for a new target for them.

VAB SANTAL - Comment for the vehicle: our players have provided extensive and useful information as a result of their analysis it was decided to further refine the model of the vehicle. The modifications will consist of changing and refining the model for launchers, aiming devices and the turret used but retaining the current chassis model. Since most of the changes are made to the appearance of the model and will not affect battle characteristics after making them, it was decided that the vehicle will be added in this update in the current form with the characteristics corresponding to the real model of the turret and fire control system. When the fixes for the vehicle will be ready they will be applied to it. Thank you for your consideration.

The number of vehciles received by any nation varies from patch to patch and is not a set amount. Any patterns emerging there over time are a matter of coincidence really. Not a set rule of a nation getting X every time.


Sometimes there may be more or less depending on the patch, time of year, other plans or a myriad of other reasons.


As for 2, that basically ties into 1. There is nothing to "make up" for. The amount of vehciles per update per nation always has and always will vary. In the larger context of things, in the 3 major updates leading up to this, France received a top rank jet fighter every patch. Resulting in one of the two most advanced aircraft in game currently.


As for 3, the main focus of this update was always planned to be Finland. Most of the update centered around that as well as some other vehciles that help fill gaps in many trees across the game. We also have another major towards the end of the year, which is traditionally always a larger one.

Again, majors vary in size and focus. The contents of this patch were planned and focused around Finland with at least something else for pretty much everyone.


We have more vehciles to add for France and more in plans / progress. But it was made very clear that the core focus of the patch would be Finland (and by extension the expansion of the Swedish tree).



When we have substantial news to share about anything, we will of course be sure to share it with all players via a blog or other mass media. Not in an update feedback topic.

Yes, the tests were conducted on an airframe with 2/3rd of the fuel, and the take-off run was considered impractically long. It exceeds the take-off weight
