Missions

Interface

• Now, when the conditions for getting a flag are met or a flag is purchased, a flag icon is displayed in the messages menu, similar to decals.

Sound

• The volume of allied ground vehicle engines when there is a large concentration of them around the player has been reduced. This does not apply to the volume of enemy ground vehicle engines.
• The engine sounds of the Abrams and T-64 series of tanks has been adjusted, with the aim to make them sound more realistic.
• Message pauses have been added for the “Limit Angle of Attack” and “Ultimate Overload” speech messages for “Mouse Aiming” and “Simplified Controls” control options.
• A bug that could cause crew voice messages to play after the player’s ship had sunk and been destroyed has been fixed.
• A bug that caused RWR sounds to remain after an aircraft was destroyed and after respawning in a ground vehicle has been fixed.
