New locations and missions
New location for combined battles “Iberian Castle”.
New location for naval battles “Franz Josef Land”.
Snowy trees in winter versions of the Poland, Maginot Line, and Bulge locations have been fixed.
The behaviour of bushes when they’re being trampled or shot through has been fixed.
Air AB:
Two missions of the new type, Air Conquest, have been added on two locations: Israel and Smolensk. Mission rules:
There are three capture zones in the mission: a small central air zone and two airfield zones on the sides of the central zone
There is ground support in the mission as in the “assault” missions and the models and placing of the ground vehicles depend on the battle rank.
There are bases for bombing in the mission which spawn 15 seconds after being destroyed.
Player aircraft respawns are not as high as in Assault missions and the number of respawns has been reduced.
Bomber respawns are higher than respawns for fighters and closer to the centre of the mission (in normal assault missions bomber respawns are further from the centre of the mission than fighters).
Location and mission updates
Single missions and historical campaign
Multiple bug fixes in single missions and historical campaigns.
In the historical campaign, naval vessel models have been replaced with more detailed ones. In this regard some edits have been made to the mission balance.
Enduring Confrontation
Transferred some of the missions that remained in the old format to the new one (changing the mission grid from 7x7 to 8x8 cells, increasing the total mission space by expanding the grid, new positions for airfields to make the distances between them larger):
Bulge
Korsun
Khalkhin Gol
Kursk
Ruhr
Stalingrad
Winter Stalingrad
Tunis. Also increased the number of possible positions of airfields.
Port Moresby. Also the mission has been rotated by 45 degrees relative to the previous version to make the ratio of sea to land squares for each team about the same.
In all missions for aircraft “Enduring Confrontation” low, medium and pre-top ranks will now use WWII aircraft carrier models. German aircraft carriers will now use Japanese aircraft carriers. For top ranks all nations still use the Forrestal.
Ground Vehicle model, damage model, characteristic and weaponry changes:
The formula for the interaction of tracked and wheeled chassis with surfaces has been refined. In practice, this refinement will mainly affect the lateral grip of a chassis on strongly inclined surfaces and will make it difficult to occupy positions that were not meant to be reached by design.

Naval fleet model, damage model, characteristic and weaponry changes:
Naval weaponry:
Reloading on a captured point has been reworked. — ammunition of the non automatic artillery now replenishes in batches, instead of shell after shell. The number of rounds in a batch depends on the maximum capacity of the ammo stowage.
USS Candid — a bug has been fixed due to which the mortars were unable to reload.
USS Nevada — a bug with incorrect catapult launch of the scout plane has been fixed.
HMS Abdiel — a bug with overestimated gun spread has been fixed.
Duguay-Trouin — 75mm HE round with a base fuse has been added.
Mark 108 Weapon Alpha — engine characteristics and the drag have been adjusted to correct the trajectory.
Saetta P-494 — fixed an error when launching the Nettuno missile with a high elevation angle against distant targets that caused the missile to collide with the water surface soon after launch.
Nettuno — Rocket engine operation mode parameters and air resistance have been specified. The weight of explosives in the missile’s warhead has been reduced to 6 kg.
Naval modifications and crew skills:
HMS Norfolk — smokescreen modification has been added.
RN Dante Alighieri — smokescreen modification has been revoked, spent RP points and game currency will be refunded.
RN Attilio Regolo — “Anto-Air Targeting” modification has been removed, since the ship lacks this weapon group. Spent RP points and game currency will be refunded. “Auxiliary Guns Targeting” modification has been added instead.
Freccia P-493 — a bug has been fixed that prevented torpedo depth setup in RB mode. Also, switching between torpedo tubes and 40mm guns now available in the armament selector, i.e. player is able to choose between them both in the hangar and in battle.
Naval characteristics, physics and damage model:
Propeller shafts are separated into independent modules. Now they have their own functionality and damage model: the propeller shaft pairs with the specific engine room and operates as a part of it. If the shaft is damaged, the ship loses speed in proportion to the force generated by this shaft. If there is no damage to the engine room, the maximum speed will still drop until the shaft is repaired. For now, shafts are separated only on battleships. With each new upcoming update, other vessels will also receive separate shafts.
The damage model for battleships has been improved - the crew of a battleship is now distributed mainly in the citadel. Modules covered with armour are now of great value. A situation where significant losses might be inflicted on the crew located outside the armour protected area in auxiliary calibre mounts, on or below the upper deck has been fixed. Now another battleship or battlecruiser can deal serious one-time damage to a battleship if it successfully penetrates its armour and hits the most important internal modules. Note that this approach more clearly demonstrates the tactics of battle on battleships: choosing the distance to the enemy, choosing the angle by which the ship's hull is turned, etc. And let us recall that the losses in the ship's crew show not only and not so much the "killed and wounded", but, mainly, people who have lost the opportunity to perform their combat duties. The crew is always tied to a specific module, such as a boiler room, gun, or gun mount. A disabled mount is conditionally equal to the loss of its entire crew, before replenishment and repair.
Damage models of the torpedo bulges have been fixed — a bug fixed that allowed a bulge to take multiple torpedo hits.
IJN Tone — a bug has been fixed where the internal anti-torpedo bulkhead was displayed in front of the external one. Position of the engines has been corrected in xray mode. A bug has been fixed that prevented highlighting of the rudder armour.
HMS Daring — a bug has been fixed where torpedo tubes did not rotate in xray mode.
Dugauy-Trouin — position of the plotting room has been corrected, also the position of ammo and fuse magazines. The shape of the magazines and rudder room armour has been corrected.
IJN Mogami — size of the stern magazines for the main guns has been corrected.
HMS Tiger — size and position of magazines have been corrected, central director rooms have been added.
USS Arizona — thinning-out gradient of the main armour belt has been widened.
MN Aigle — interference of the torpedoes with torpedo tube doors has been fixed.
IJN Fuso — interference of the conning tower with its own armour has been fixed where it was possible to damage it with any weapon without penetration.
USS Newport News (CA-148) — ammo stowages of the auxiliary and AA guns have been redistributed. 76mm and 20mm ammo are grouped into separate ammo stowage.
SMS Bayern — shape and thickness of the lower part of the main turret barbettes, as well as protection of the duct under the stern main turret have been corrected.
SKR-7 — interaction of shells with the stern air duct hoods has been corrected.
HMS Diana — a bug has been fixed where the fire control turret crew remain stationary while the turret rotates.
IJN Hyuga — interference of the conning tower with its own armour has been fixed. Radio room is now smaller and located in one area in the bow superstructure.
HMS Southampton (C83) — fixed the type of armour of the deck part above the aft main stowage.
Krasniy Kavkaz — heeling of the ship in a turn has been adjusted.
MS-53 — a bug has been fixed where the torpedo stabilisers protruded from the rear doors of the torpedo tubes.

Pfeil — fixed a bug that caused incorrect averaging of the boat's maximum speed in Arcade naval battles.
Localization
HMS Nepal - the country affiliation of the ship has been changed (HMS -> HMAS)
Z47 - year of construction has been changed to “project”.
Missed numbers have been added to Royal Navy vessels.
Interface
The lead point calculation indicator has been shifted to the side so as not to block the distance to the target in binoculars at certain angles and in zoom.
Operation of multiple tooltips has been reworked:
Battle tooltips for survivability, ammo, etc. have been moved to the left side of the screen (toward the game chat window) and made smaller. Almost all hints on the purpose of the keys have been moved from the battle to the loading screen and to the hangar.
Battle tooltips about repairs and floods with the assigned key have been added. They also appear more remote from the main interface and disappear over time or by pressing the appropriate key.
All battle tooltips which had a long wording have been rephrased into more concise form.
A situation where the screen could display many hints on the same topic at the same time has been fixed. For example about critical roll, caulking and ship sinking. Now they are sorted according to their importance. The clue that includes other processes of the same order will be demonstrated.
All hints that can be seen on the loading screen will be now duplicated in the hangar, in the search window of the game session.
The training system for new players have been reworked:
Help for assigned keys, events, and abilities has been added, It will be shown more proportionally, no more than two or three tips/hints per battle. Displayed will be only the information which a new player needs and the function has not been used yet.
The loading screens for the first naval battles have been redesigned to include up-to-date and visual information on targets and missions.
The control help window (F1) has been redesigned - all information has been updated.
Help on the orientation in the hangar between the first battles has been added.
Help for modifications and ammo has been added.
Dynamic training for blue water ships control has been integrated in the first sea battle.
Economy and research
PT-76 (China) - The tank will be hidden (in two weeks from the major update release) from the Chinese ground vehicles tree and will be not available for research. Vehicle will be added to the group with the new unit from this update - the Object 211 and will remain with players who have researched and purchased this unit.

Customization
Camouflage presets for the coastal fleet for all nations available for completing tasks and for purchase with GE have been added.
Interface
Control window for keyboard shortcuts, text symbols have been replaced with icons.
The visual style for showing keyboard buttons in tooltips has been updated.
Some of the tips above the action panel have been reduced in size and moved to the damage indicator in the ship’s HUD, so as not to block the view in the centre.
The server selection system has been improved. It now takes into account the user's ping to determine the best server cluster.
Game mechanics
The mechanics of the prohibited zones and detection zones near respawn points has been improved:
Highlighting of these zones on the minimap has been separated. Now when approaching any prohibited zone, only prohibited zones will be displayed on the minimap; and when approaching any detection zone, only detection zones.
The distance at which prohibited zones will be displayed has been changed from 100 to 50 m.
The distance at which detection zones will be displayed has been changed from 150 to 100 m.
A bug that caused the detection zone to be shown to the player 50m later than it was detected by that zone has been fixed.
A tooltip when being in the detection zone has been added.
New fortification mechanics — fortifications with different sets of guns have been added in the mission [Domination] “Franz Josef Land” that will provide cover for bases, fire at the enemy and give extra points when they are destroyed.
Graphical
Flare effects have been updated.
The effect of exploding air-to-air missiles in the air has been updated.
The visual effect of oil leakage has been added.
Sound
All voice localizations of ground vehicle crews have been re-worked and also received a new command system.
Feature based on the dependence of the degree of tension of the situation around the vehicle: calm, medium tension, high tension. This change doesn’t apply to Israeli vehicles yet, but work is in progress. Also a separate voice localization for US vehicles is coming.
4 new voice localizations for ground vehicle crews have been added: Hungarian, English (Australia), Finnish and English (South Africa).
If a crew belongs to a sub-vehicle tree, for example Finnish, Vietnamese or any other and if the crew voice language in the settings is set to the country of the vehicle, it will be voiced accordingly.
Guns of ground vehicles now sound correctly when switching views from first and 3rd person. That is when firing from the first person view sounds an internal shot and external one which is muffled by the hull of the vehicle. Or not muffled in case of an open turret.
Sound of flying artillery shells (whistling, hissing) are now tied directly to the shells. Previously it was a backing sound for the duration of the artillery strike for those who received it.
The positioning of the engine sounds of ground vehicles has been improved and the range of their audibility to the players has been increased.
Controls
The internal data storage format of the control presets supplied with the game has been optimised. Presets themselves haven’t changed at this time. Please report possible issues or unexpected changes in control settings by attaching a machine.blk file or a settings backup created through the control settings menu.
