A bug that caused scorch marks to appear on the model of aircraft in the hangar after viewing and switching secondary weapons has been fixed. (Report[community.gaijin.net]).

Ground Vehicles

A bug where it was possible to activate thermals in third-person view after switching the view from the commander sight to the gunner sight while the vehicle was slightly submerged in water has been fixed. (Report[community.gaijin.net]).

Sound

Z-11WA — a bug that caused the rotor to sound like the tail rotor RPM when viewed from the helicopter c*ckpit has been fixed.

Other

The following changes made to nation challenge achievements have now come into effect:
- Achievements can now only be obtained with vehicles that belong to a specific nation. Vehicles with the same name from another nation will no longer be added to achievements. For example, the achievement “Bf 109 German Ace” can only be completed with aircraft from the German aviation research tree and not with captured aircraft from the US and Japanese aviation research trees.
