Summary
Gameplay Systems
This update focuses on refining combat awareness and survival mechanics. The Radar Warning Receiver (RWR) now correctly prioritizes the most dangerous threats, ensuring pilots aren't blindsided by missile launches. For ground forces, the drowning mechanic has been adjusted so that replacement crew members receive a fresh countdown, allowing players a chance to recover submerged vehicles.
Vehicle Specifics
Several aircraft received bug fixes, most notably the CF-188A which no longer requires a specific targeting pod for AGM-65G missiles. The German VT1-2 had its unique battery-powered horizontal aiming restored, and Multi-Vehicle SAM systems now correctly award capture points to their owners.
Technical & UI
Map synchronization on Flanders has been improved to prevent 'ghost' vehicles from reappearing, and various UI bugs regarding spawn point costs and ammo limits have been resolved.
