General Changes

• Fixed an issue where the splash of some HE shells would disrupt the objective-capturing process in the Global Operations mode
• B1 Draco: Fixed the radar animation on minimum graphics settings
• M60A1 and M60A3: Fixed the ERA model in order for it to correspond to its real-life counterpart
• Msta-S: Fixed the destroyed gun model
• Realistic Battles: Fixed an issue where it was possible to get into the mode using vehicles normally unavailable for it by using a platoon (yes, the mode will return in the future)
• Fixed an issue where the loading status of a player during the battle launch phase could differ between the team panel and the player list panel
• Fixed several map object collision issues and optimized some other collision models to increase performance
