Update 0.38 “Exodus” is now available!

Gameplay Mechanics

General Changes

• Moved the spotting point of Mechanized Infantry to 1 meter above the model (previously it was 2 meters), which will make Mechanized Infantry a worse spotter (it won't spot as easily over hills or obstacles) but also harder to spot
• Changed the annoying whistling of gas turbine engines in the first person mode
• The Macedonian flag name changed to North Macedonia

Vehicles

Top-Down Attack Missile Improvements

We have carefully analyzed the performance of top-down attack missiles (the missiles that fly over a target and explode above it) and have updated their performance as such:

• C13 TUA: BGM-71F TOW-2B penetration increased from 250mm to 400mm
• M1134: BGM-71F-6 TOW-2B Aero penetration increased from 300mm to 450mm
• NM142: BGM-71F-6 TOW-2B Aero penetration increased from 300mm to 450mm
• ZUBR PSP: BGM-71F TOW-2B replaced with BGM-71F-6 TOW-2B Aero with 450mm penetration

We've also fixed the trajectory of these missiles so that they now work more reliably.

General Changes

• We've modified the movement model of several vehicles (Sabra Mk.2, Centauro 155, PLZ-05, PLZ-89, Panzerhaubitze 2000 and Palmaria), the acceleration and hull traverse values remain roughly the way they were before
• Significantly reduced the HE shell penetration for many autocannons in order to match the intended behavior (exceedingly high PELE shell penetration was a bug as well, the list of PELE changes is listed under specific vehicles)
• A number of vehicles can now switch between ammo types instantly (BMP-1, BMP-1P, BMP-2, BMD-1, BMD-1P, BMD-2, ZBD-86, BVP M-80A, XM800T, Object 287 and Begleitpanzer 57)
• Added a MRS mirror to the gun barrels of some Leopard 2 series MBTs
• Changed the ERA armor calculations so that Generation 1 ERA (such as Kontakt-1) no longer protects its vehicle from Tier 10 kinetic shells

AMX-13 DCA

• Fixed an issue where the Radar active ability would reduce the camouflage factor too much

AS21 Redback

• Reduced the PELE shell penetration from 165mm to 120mm

BMP-3

• Fixed an issue where the smoke grenade launchers would disappear when you upgraded the armor to ERA

Expeditionary Tank

• The turret now properly counts as unmanned and takes reduced damage

FV107 Scimitar

• Reduced the APSE shell penetration from 165mm to 90mm

FV721 Fox

• The ATGM launchers can now elevate and depress

FV438 Swingfire

• Somewhat reduced the initial ATGM flight speed so that the vehicle can now hit targets while hidden behind cover more comfortably

Hunter AFV

• Reduced the PELE shell penetration from 165mm to 120mm

K21

• K40 turret AP ammo now has 230mm of penetration and deals 80 damage
• K40 turret HE ammo now has 30mm of penetration and deals 120 damage
• CTAS turret AP ammo now has 300mm of penetration and deals 65 damage
• CTAS turret HE ammo now has 16mm of penetration and deals 98 damage

LAV 600

• Reduced the time between shots from 6 to 3 seconds

Leopard 1A5

• Fixed the collision model issue causing this vehicle to get stuck in buildings and other objects

M50 Ontos

• This vehicle now has two optional modules for two different play styles, one allowing you to fire all shells in rapid succession (much like the pre-overhaul Ontos could) and one keeping the rate of fire lower but also making the vehicle more accurate

M48 Patton

• This vehicle received two new modules – Improved Optics Stabilizer (reducing the accuracy penalty for traversing your turret and firing) and Improved Gun Mount (reducing the accuracy penalty for moving)

M60 Patton

• Fixed this vehicle's gun clipping issues

M8-120 Thunderbolt II

• Updated this vehicle's armor values in the UI to match the real ones

Marder 2

• Reduced the PELE shell penetration from 245mm to 125mm

NM142

• The stock TOW missile now has a tandem HEAT warhead

Rooikat 76

• Replaced the trait Stealthy with Marksman
• Removed the Improved Reverse trait
• Replaced the Designate Target active ability with Zero In
• Somewhat improved the acceleration in reverse

Rosomak M1M

• Reduced the stock PELE shell penetration from 150mm to 95mm
• Reduced the upgraded PELE shell penetration from 160mm to 120mm

Scorpion Kastet

• The turret now properly counts as unmanned and takes reduced damage

Sho't Kal Dalet

• Fixed this vehicle's gun clipping issues
• Fixed an issue where this tank would excessively rock to the front and to the back when accelerating and breaking

Sprut-SD

• Improved the track visual model

Stingray 2

• Fixed the collision model issue causing this vehicle to get stuck in buildings and other objects

T-80

• This vehicle received three new modules to make it fit its role – Improved FCS Sensors (reducing the accuracy penalty for firing and traversing your hull), Improved Gun Stabilizer (improving accuracy on the move) and Improved Gunner Optics (improving overall accuracy)

Taifun II

• Fixed an issue where the APFSDS shell accuracy was worse than the rest for no reason

TAM 2IP

• Fixed an issue where the vehicle would lose camouflage when moving and too much camouflage when firing
• Fixed an issue where the Laser Lock ability beam position appeared differently to different players
• Fixed an issue where the Laser Lock ability beam would (for a short moment) aim in the wrong direction upon activation

Type 90

• Fixed the turret collision model so that it no longer gets blocked by walls and other objects

Type 96B

• The 125mm Type III shell now has a Depleted Uranium penetrator

VBL

• Reduced the PELE shell penetration from 120mm to 80mm

VBR

• Reduced the PELE shell penetration from 105mm to 70mm

Warrior

• Stock AP shell penetration increased from 150mm to 170mm

WZ-1224

• This vehicle received three new modules to make it fit its role – Improved FCS Sensors (reducing the accuracy penalty for firing and traversing your hull), Improved Gun Stabilizer (improving accuracy on the move) and Improved Gunner Optics (improving overall accuracy)

XM247

• Reduced the frontal armor thickness
• Reduced the PELE shell penetration from 270mm to 190mm

ZUBR PSP

• The stock TOW missile now has a tandem HEAT warhead

Player versus Environment

New Special Operation

In this Update, we are rolling out a new Special Operation called Burning Grounds along with several achievements, including:

• Volcanic Madness
• Burning Grounds
• Volcanic Vehicles
• Pyre
• Rapid Response
• Class-specific achievements as usual

You can read more about this Special Operation in our dedicated article. Additionally, we've changed the Garage look to meet the new Special Operation.

General Changes

• The four latest added Special Operations are now all available in a chain. As soon as another one is added, the oldest one gets removed from the list
• Special Operation "Plague": Destroyed buses now have a proper collision model
• Special Operation "Death": Removed the ship anchor players were getting stuck on
• Special Operation "Death": Fixed the snow drift collision model so that players won't get stuck on it
• Special Operation "Death": Fixed an issue where players could get stuck near the buildings (under the balconies) on the left route
• Special Operation "Death": Fixed an exploit allowing players to bypass the gates and move towards the final area around the edges of the map

Issues and Corrections

• Fixed an issue where the penetration indicator could show incorrect colors when aiming at an impenetrable object
• Fixed a large number of small vehicle visual model issues
• Fixed a number of small UI issues
