Summary
Aircraft
This update focuses on resolving a significant issue where missiles occasionally failed to deal damage upon direct hits or explosions. The J35J receives a notable update with the addition of maneuver and limits mode switching, a refreshed flight model, and corrected fuel consumption. Additionally, several aircraft including the F-16XL and F4U-7 received specific bug fixes for their seekers and modification trees.
Ground Vehicles
Handling has been improved for a variety of ground vehicles, including the M24, IS-2, and T-44 series, by correcting their moments of inertia to make them more responsive. The T58 specifically received corrections for its first-stage ammo stowage location and damage effect logic.
Interface & Systems
In high-tier Nuclear Escalation (BR 11.3-13.0), AI tank columns have been modernized with ZSU-23-4M4 and T-80U units. Interface improvements address performance drops during artillery calls and controller cursor behavior.
