Summary
Aircraft and Weaponry
This update focuses on flight model accuracy and technical fixes for several aircraft. The Israeli F-86E(M) has been adjusted to match the CL-13 Mk.4 standard with a new J47-GE-13 engine. Weaponry also sees adjustments, notably the AGM-88G AARGM-ER, which can now reach Mach 4.0 under specific launch conditions. Additionally, the Ka-29 has had its S-24 modification removed with compensation provided to players.
Ground Combat and Overpressure
Ground vehicle survivability has been refined following the Sky Odyssey update. Changes to the overpressure mechanic mean wheeled vehicles are no longer destroyed by transmission damage if the crew is separated, and fuel tanks in fighting compartments now act as overpressure triggers.
Environment and Interface
Temporary fixes have been applied to winter map airfields to prevent aircraft from flipping on spawn. The user interface has also been improved, including an increased speed limit in the missile comparison tool and controller-specific bug fixes.
