CDK:

• Due to the release of update 1.77 and the reworking of the collision model with new terrain technology, all custom assets (included custom hangars) need to be optimized. You can wait until the authors have updated the content on War Thunder Live or just download the latest CDK version and reload (download and upload) assets/missions, hangars and other content.
• The basic textures for some ground vehicles have been changed. In the config of the custom camouflage you will need to change the name of the texture according to the list or download the camouflage from LIVE once again.

 

Economy and research:

• Additional winter camouflages for US, British and German ground vehicles have been added.
• Decals for French vehicles can now be unlocked by the completion of tasks has been added.
• New achievements for French aircraft and ground vehicles have been added.
• Chieftain Mk.3 and Chieftain Mk.5 - Have been grouped into one group in the British research tree for ground vehicles.
• Panther A and Panther G have been grouped into one group in the German ground vehicles research tree.

 

Sounds:

• A new (modular) principle for the formation of sound events for the shots of all guns (including machine guns, automatic cannons, MLRS and ATGMs) of ground vehicles has been added.
• New sounds for all machine guns on ground vehicles has been added.
• New sounds for all automatic cannons for ground vehicles has been added.
• The sounds of all guns on ground vehicles has been reworked.
• New sounds for MLRS on all ground vehicles have been added. Particularly on the BM-13 “Katyusha”.
• New sounds for ATGMs on ground vehicles have been added.
• Reverberation "tails" for the sound of firing on all guns (including machine guns, automatic cannons, MLRS and ATGMs) in order to hear the difference in calibre of the shooting gun have been added. This applies to both sides (enemy, friendlies and your own cannons).
• The dependence of the sound power of shots on all guns, MLRS and ATGMs on the density of the terrain surrounding the the vehicle. The closer and denser the buildings are, the longer will be the "tail" of the sound of the shot, and the more powerful sound the shot itself has.
• The effect of global reverberation for interior (cabin, turret) and exterior sounds (field, small buildings) for ground vehicles, aircraft and ships has been added.
• A clear difference in the sounds of all shots from the gunner's eye point (resonant turret box, mechanical parts, sleeves) and from third person view (rumbling, openness of sound) has been added for ground vehicles.
• The effect of occlusion (absorption of high frequencies and a drop in the volume of external sounds) of the gun turret/driver's cabin for ground vehicles from the eye point of the gunner/driver has been added. However, if the driver is in a closed cabin, and the gunner is in an open air position(or vice versa, in any combination) - this is accounted for by the effect.
• The dependencies of loudness of sounds of aircraft engines aircraft from distance to listener (player) have been reworked.
• Layers of ultra-low frequencies for explosions, cannon shots, crumbling structures and tank suspensions have been added.

 

Game mechanics:

• A bug with work of the modification “air strike” in RB, where the reduction in the cost for respawn on the aircraft was dropped when losing the ground vehicle with this modification has been fixed (source). This modification will allow an additional reduction for aircraft spawn cost for each scouted player killed by an ally in game modes with respawn points.
• Changes in the PvE-mission “Assault. Tank arcade”:
• The BR mechanism has been reviewed. From now on, vehicles with BR 8.0 will be on the 5th rank
• On the 6th rank (BR 8.3+) new ground vehicles for the enemy AI have been added.
   

Aircraft missions:

• In all [Operation] missions, except for missions for beginners, respawn points for attackers in the air have been moved closer to the purposes of the mission.

Punkte, die ich dabei am interessantesten finde:

• Leopard A1A1 - The DM23 shell has been added to the ammunition.
• Leopard/Leopard A1A1 —  Fire rate has been changed from 8 to 9 shots per minute
• Urban and rural part of the location “Maginot Line” has had significant detail added.
• Il-28, Tu-14Т, Kikka — Rocket boosters have been added.
• Additional winter camouflages for US, British and German ground vehicles have been added.

Mal sehen, wie viel besser der Leo mit AFSDS (nehme ich einfach mal an, dass es sich um APFSDS handelt) wird. Da stellt sich auch die Frage, auf welcher Stufe die neue Granate erforscht wird. Könnte mir forstellen, dass die HEATFS auf Rang III abrutscht.
