New Locations and Missions

Added event in the Enduring Confrontation game mode (JiP). The new game mode will start with limited combat missions a few days after Update 1.51 launched. We will regularly supplement these missions with new tasks and continue to improve the mechanics. Stay tuned!

Finland - A new winter location for mixed battles (modes: domination, battle, conquest);

New aircraft Arcade missions have been added:

Apple Gardens (Ground Strike);

Approaches to Moscow (Ground Strike);

Khalkhyn Gol (Ground Strike);

Saipan (Ground Strike);

Research and Economy


The amount of research points awarded for the destruction of ground vehicles are now uses the system similar to aircraft battles - vehicle BR difference will also be considered;

The amount of research points awarded for the destruction of ground vehicles has been slightly increased;


Added missing traverse adjustment drive modification for self-propelled guns: Panzerjäger Panther, Panzerjäger Tiger, Panzerjäger Tiger P Ferdinand, ISU-152, SU-100Y, SU-100, SU-122, SU-122-54, SU-152, SU-85-1943, SU-85М;


The US nation now has a separate line for level bombers. Attackers and dive bombers now have a common research line.
Damage Model


A new indicator for ground vehicle and aircraft damage has been introduced;

A new system of tracking for shell fragments has been introduced: Fragments can now have a more complex and unique shape, and differing fragments can have different amounts of energy. This system works for secondary shell fragments and the metal jet of HEAT grenades;
Increased the efficiency of piercing projectiles with a discarding sabot against sloped armor;
Increased the efficiency of flat-headed shells, and armour-piercing and ballistic capped shells, on sloped armour inclined at a 60 degree angle.
Fixed the ballistics of piercing projectiles with a discarding sabot. Now, the cross-section on which ballistics will be calculated correspond to the core size of the projectile, and not to the projectile's sabot.
Weaponry

HESH (High-Explosive Squash Head) shells have been added, which cause fragments to hit targets inside the vehicle due to spalling;
HEATFS (High-Explosive Anti Tank Fin Stabilized) shells have been added. These shells have a much better penetration, but cause less spalling than common HEAT shells;
BP-367P streamlined piercing projectile ammunition has been added for the T-44.



Interface

A new system has been introduced - Orders;
Added function that allows the marking of locations of enemies in combined Realistic Battles. By landing a shot on an enemy with your main gun, all players in your team will, for a limited time, be able to view the targeted enemy’s location on the minimap;

Tags for Britain carrier-based aircraft have been optimised (unnecessary and apparently duplicating tags have been removed).
Settings

Changed the method of saving user settings. Now they are stored separately for each account and divided into two parts. One part is synchronised between all player devices (general settings, vehicle preset settings and settings), the other one is individual for each device (control settings, colours, fonts, etc.).
Sounds

Improved the overall sound environment for air battles;
New sounds for shells striking the ground have been added.



Gaiijins site seems to be overloading atm so i grabbed the above from a cache, cannot link to any of the links like a better explanation of the Orders etc in said cache though.

Solid patch, lots of great changes. I'm especially happy about all the new 8.0 additions and slight tweaking of AP rounds on sloped armour. Playing at 8.0 was such a chore at times when tanks were soaking up everything. Also glad to hear they improved the sounds of the planes when they are buzzing around above your head.

Although, they did replace the M103s HEAT with HEATFS, so now there's less spalling which is sort-of annoying.

Sadly the Finland map is fairly boring imo. There still isn't any defend/attack type map at all which would be nice, all of them are really just open slatter and go for gold. You could easily make some nice events like a decent Barbarossa and it's sub battles or a better Kursk, Goodwood etc but none of the events come across as if you are achieving any real goal or attacking fortified positions or anything. Just two teams constantly driving headlong into each other.

Consequence of having an FPS style of match set up. 16 v 16 like you are playing Halo 2 or something :P Plus the whole unlock system etc, RP gain, SL gain. The way things are set up are rather counter productive to anything other than, shoot down as many planes, blow up as many tanks as possible.

Of course now if objectives awarded much more in terms of RP and SL gain over say just blowing stuff up, you'd probably see much more tactical and objective oriented gameplay. Although of course, blowing up stuff is a lot of fun biggrin

All looks good. I'm still slowly working my way down to the IS3 still...

Got this ugly mother now.



At least it can take a punch or two. Even with the default ammo it can one-shot kill any of the krauts with a decent angle.

Be a long while before I see action in any of those new machines!

Mummys little Star ? At least you put a nice big target on the turret for me to aim at biggrin I struggle with the IS2 owing to that severe lack of depression..and turret speed..and reload times..and..still a scary tank to face though.

What's with the aircraft sounds heard from one's little tank? Sounds like I'm fighting on the outskirts of Heathrow.

I loved it at first, then it just started sounding weird like a lot of wind noise or a busy airport like you mentioned, now i have started to get ok at picking out direction and such and gotten used to it. Strange how it goes smile
