Gift planes are being given out to starting from today, all the players who completed at least 10 tasks will receive their rewards within the next few days!


General improvements:

Improved physics of AI bots (AI physics is now closer to the actual);
Fixed ricochet of bombs hitting water surface;
Improved controls for mouse-aim mode for several planes;
Fixed achievements on take-offs and landings;
Visual bugs are fixed for P-40, Yak-3, I-185 M-82, MiG-9, FW-190А-8, Ki-84;
Fixed login window bug (in some cases player could not enter the game);
Visibility distance on horizon and below is increased for +10% in RB
Fixed matchmaking bug when a player was counted as several players to balance the fight.
The amount of bombs needed to destroy the enemy base in all game modes increased in high level battles (solving the problem of bombers 'rushing' the base). Rewards for destroying the base increased correspondingly.
New option in the 'Game options - Interface' menu. Players can choose ammo and temperature to be displayed always.

Interface:

RP report in the log now shows RP gained for new aircraft, not modifications;
Several improvements to radio commands;
Devoiced users have their radio commands blocked;
Battle rating parameter shows corrects values for RB and SB modes (previously battle rating parameter was shown as for AB mode);
Reduced limits of anti-flood filters for radio commands to avoid radio-commands spamming.

Some good stuff in there for Simulator Battles. Better AI is a good thing.

Glad they moved up the UFO XP-50 to class III. I was flying the first LA-5 you get last night on the Korea map and this thing just turned on a dime, killing 3 of us.

I still don't really understand the "researching" new planes thing. I preferred the old way, can someone explain it to me? It seems you get more research points if you fly a certain aircraft while researching another one.

I don't get the researching thing either. And what benefit does doing so? And I want the battles to be restricted to year appropriate planes. That means that I don't want to be stuck with a fine plane from 1943 but have to deal with some plane from 1946. And I want to re-spawn like like in IL2. I hate being forced to chose a different plane after I die.


Race you to the Mucky Duck!

The new system seems really tedious for newer players like me. In order to move up, I have to fight aircraft that seem to far outclass mine. I feel like Jenna Jameson after just about every battle.
