🛠Update 2.47.0.55

Ground Vehicles

Please, note, that some munitions (glide and unguided bombs) are categorized by radar only by their size (usually “small”) and are not used in the “ammunition” category.
▪️The layout of target list on the radar control screen has been corrected.
▪️Now on the radar control screen in the target list the targets which are located outside of the current limits of the tracking radar are highlighted in red.
▪️On the radar control screen in the target list an index of the currently tracked target now has a frame.
▪️Tooltips for the target parameters have been added to the target list on the radar control screen.

▪️A bug that sometimes caused inability to navigate the target list in the radar control screen using the stick of the controller has been fixed.
▪️A bug that caused automatic re-connection to occur when leaving an Air Simulator Battle session has been fixed.

Locations and Missions
▪️In variants of the missions below where the Battle Rating session is 10.7+, an air spawn point has been added:
[Operation] Rocky Canyon,
[Operation] Pyrenees,
[Operation] Rocky Pillars,
[Operation] Southeastern City,
[Operation] Battle for Vietnam.

Matchmaking
▪️All “Sinai” and “Sands of Sinai” missions in all game modes have been temporarily removed from the rotation to ensure correct synchronization of resources.

💣 KV-2 — Pillbox on Tracks

This menacing silhouette is unmistakable. Not long after its debut in World War II, the KV-2 tank earned the dramatic nickname “Russian Colossus”: its armor was impervious to the standard anti-tank guns of the Wehrmacht, while its own heavy-caliber weapon could destroy almost any opponent with ease. Even when disabled, KV-2 tanks remained a headache for German forces — moving them often required explosives or special equipment.
