Aircraft
- Mirage IIIE, IIIC — take-off elevation time of the nose gear leg has been reduced.
- Saab JAS39A, JAS39C — The dependence of the available engine thrust on speed is adjusted closer to the available thrust of the installed F404-GE-402 (F-18) engine (report). Sea level static thrust has been increased by ~1,500 lbs; at М0.9 reduced by ~3,000 lbs. Landing distance has been reduced.
- F-111A — sustained turn rate has been reduced by 13 deg per sec at 60,000 lbs weight, climb rate adjusted.
Sound
- The sound of the GAU-8A cannon now features an additional layer with a characteristic crackling and howling noise when heard at a distance.
- A bug that caused flares/chaff to sound like an ATGM while passing by the player has been fixed.
Locations
- All AB and RB missions on the “Carpathians” map now have an additional spawn point for both teams, which previously could be found only in SB mode. Undetailed zones at the borders of the ground vehicle play area are now unavailable.
- The sounds of ATGMs and unguided rockets flying past the player have been adjusted so that they sound less like jet aircraft flying over, and also sound more distinctive.
- Squares A1-A2 and partially B1-B2 have been excluded from the available play area on the [Domination #1]Mozdok mission to avoid spawn trap kills on the northern spawn point.
- The available play area in all missions on the Sinai location have been shifted to the left to exclude the hills, which allowed for control of most of the location and spawn points.
- All AB missions on the Sinai location now have spawn points located similar to RB/SB missions.
- J-9 — artifacts have been removed from the cockpit view.
- SMS Sachsen — camo mapping has been fixed.
- Target re-acquisition after short homing break down has been improved for SARH missiles.
