Summary
Nuclear Thunder Event Updates
This update focuses heavily on the Nuclear Thunder event, introducing tactical depth by limiting SPAA ammunition and allowing ground vehicles to repair and extinguish fires. Convoy mechanics have been adjusted with increased speeds but reduced unit counts, and the firing range of cannon artillery has been lowered.
Aircraft and Weaponry
Significant flight model adjustments have been made to the AGM-88A and Kh-58U missiles to prevent oscillation at long ranges. Additionally, ECM jammers for the B-52H and Tu-95M are now more effective. Several critical bugs affecting AI gunners and airfield defenses have also been resolved.
Interface and Quality of Life
The UI now provides better feedback for CCRP bomb release and Silver Lion mission balances. Map readability in Ground Battles has been improved by removing munition icons.
