Game mechanics
- Light tanks of rank VI-VII now have a UAV module that allows them to order a fly out of the reconnaissance UAV in the battle. UAVs of light tanks of rank VII have a thermal imaging camera.
- Aircraft engine fire extinguisher system has been added.
- Conditions for crediting serious damage to ground vehicles have been changed: destruction of optics, wheels and also partial damage to the barrel and cannon breech are no longer considered as serious damage and can not lead to vehicle destruction assistance.
- Indication of the radar/IRST for SB has been changed. Radar indication "in the world" (indication of target acquisition, position of the radar antenna) is no longer available. This indication provided the player with more information than what is available to the pilot in reality and allowed for example to build an approach to the target "under the hood". At the same time, the pilot would have a separate radar warning system screen and radar in the cockpit.
- Added "Rankings Challenge" in competitive mode (Realistic Battles mode with markers) for seasonal competitions.
New locations and missions
- Two new missions for the helicopter PvE on the locations Bourbon Island and Southeastern City have been added.
- New naval-aircraft location "Golden Bay" has been added.
- New location "Pradesh" for combined battles has been added.
Location and mission updates
- The areas of accessible game zones in some locations have been changed, also unnatural obstacles on locations edges have been removed as well (it is not possible to go beyond locations limits and visually maps have become more authentic). List of locations: Breslau, Ash River, Jungle, Karelia, Kuban, Port Novorossiysk, Advance to the Rhine, Stalingrad.
- Non-physical hulks of the vehicles have been removed from locations for ground vehicles (they can not be pushed, hooked with a tow cable and can not be shot). List of the locations: Berlin, Advance to the Rhine, Italy, Novorossiysk, Fulda, Normandy, Mozdok, Korea, Finnland.
- Part of the Pearl Harbor Lagoon and test flight for the early US aircraft have been updated.
Enduring Confrontation
- In Helicopter PvE, pads for takeoff/landing (Landing and capture the point task) have been replaced by single, smaller landing pads. It will now be harder to land on them.
- Air defence effectiveness has been re-adjusted due to the detection of a number of bugs. The effectiveness isn’t final and may be changed based on the statistical results.
- A large number of minor bugs in the "Enduring Confrontation" mode has been fixed. That should increase the stability of the game and reduce the number of issues, We are aware of some still unsolved bugs in the mission logic of this game mode and are working on finding and fixing them.
- In helicopter PvE, ground convoys now appear no further than 3 squares from the front line which should make them more attractive targets.

- Prinz Eugen - Amount of spare torpedoes has been increased to 26.
- USS Arizona - reload time for the main calibre guns has been reduced from 50 to 40 sec..
- IJN Tone, IJN Aoba, IJN Agano, IJN Mikuma - guidance speed of the twin- and triple-barreled 25mm mounts with electric guidance drives has been increased: horizontal from 15/12 to 18 deg./sec; vertical from 10 to 12 deg./sec.
- IJN Suzuya - guidance speed of the twin- and triple-battled 25mm mounts without electric drives has been reduced.
- HMS Arethusa — The time required to pump water out of the ship’s compartments has been reduced.
- Muzzle velocity for shells on the following cannons has been corrected: 15 cm/48 KC/36 (from 960 to 835 m/sec for AP and HE with bottom fuse); 15 cm/60 SK C/25 (from 960 to 875 m/sec); 15 cm/55 SK C/28 (from 960 to 835 m/sec for HE with bottom fuse and HE with radio fuse); 8.8 cm/76 SK C/32 (from 1060 to 950 m/sec); 10.5 cm/45 SK C/32 (from 900 to 785 m/sec)
- The type and/or weight of the explosive mass has been fixed for following shells: 180 mm OF 32, ZS-32, PF-32 (A-IX-2 replaced by TNT); 180 mm B-32 (weight of the explosive mass has been changed from 1,82 kg to 1,618 kg); 152 mm ZS-35 (TNT replaced by А-IX-2).
- The weight of the explosive mass has been fixed for the following German shells: 12.7 cm Sprgr. L/4.4 Kpf.Z (from 2 to 1.905 kg); 12.7 cm Sprgr. L/4.4 Zt.Z (from 1.4 to 1.905 kg).
- The weight of the explosive mass has been fixed for the following US shells: 14 inch Mk.9 HE (from 40.1 to 47.62 kg); 14 inch Mk.8 APCBC (from 14.29 to 15.55 kg).
- The artillery strike of the coastal fleet has been improved:
- Damage area has been increased by 30%.
- Time of shells falling has been reduced by half.
- Number of shells in a salvo has been increased to 25 shells.
- HMS Southampton - Supermarine Walrus catapult aircraft has been added.
- Armoured plates for bluewater ships. In previous updates vertical armour on battleships was divided into plates. Each plate received separate damage from hits, could be damaged and as a result might lose its properties.
- In the "Drone Age" update the division to the plates have received vertical armour for light and heavy cruisers.
- This mechanic has also been changed. No plate can now be destroyed and no longer be part of the damaged model but it can be weakened by taking enough damage.
- Damaged plates still remain in place. Every subsequent shell that hits the plate can either penetrate behind the armour without interacting with it or explode on the armour with penetration of HE damage and/or fragments - fully or partly.
- The calculation of the armour plate damage is based on the ratio of the shell's armour penetration and the thickness of the armour at the point of impact. The plate may begin to receive damage that will result in a partial loss of its properties if the shell almost succeeds in penetrating it. Shells whose penetration is much less than the thickness of the plate (by taking into account the given thickness) are not able to cause such damage to it.
- The degree of the damage to the plate depends on the kinetic energy of the shell and the thickness of the plate itself. The smaller the difference in these values, the more likely the armour plate can be damaged. For example 152mm semi-AP shells at the distance of 8-10 km will not be able to do damage to armour plates of 110-120mm thickness if the ship is at an angle to the fire. Same shells will have a chance to damage if the ship is facing the fire with its side flat. And with the reduction of the distance to 5-7km such plates would be almost guaranteed to take damage and penetrate if a particular shell has enough armour penetration.
- The mechanics of detonation of the cellars from fire in the turrets, elevators and barbets of large ships has been corrected. Fire that can cause the detonation in the ammunition cellar can originate in the cellar itself or descend there from the turret of the main calibre through the barbete and elevator. The player will now have more time to take action to eliminate the fire: the spread of fire down from the turret to the cellar has been slowed and the time the fire will affect the cellar itself before it detonates has been increased.
- Admiral Graf Spee, Admiral Hipper, Prinz Eugen, HMS Belfast - Crew from reserve compartments have been redistributed in favour of control, engine and boiler rooms.
- Fuzing threshold has been increased for all shells larger than 283mm with delay. New threshold varies from 15 to 26mm.
- USS Arizona, IJN Tone, Admiral Hipper, Prinz Eugen — The size and location of the fuel tanks have been adjusted.
- IJN Mogami, IJN Suzuya, IJN Mikuma — The armour in the area of the stern traverse has been corrected.
- HMS Leopard — The guidance animation of the aft fire-control tower has been corrected.
- USS Baltimore — The position of seaplanes on catapults has been corrected.
- Fairmile C 312, 332 — Texture of the 40mm cannon and bridge in the X-Ray view has been fixed.
- IJN Hyuga — Unnecessary bridge elements in the X-Ray view have been removed.
- USS Fletcher, Bennion, Cowell — Displaying of the main calibre elevators in the X-Ray view has been corrected.
