Holiday Maneuvers Concluded
The Holiday Maneuvers event is over, and the Hangar's festive design has been disabled.
Game Balance
- The Antonov M Masha received a longer boost, which also produces a higher acceleration.
- The Vultee XP-54 Swoose Goose's armament now features similar accuracy and overheating times with those installed on aircraft of the same type and period.
- Changes in balance settings for the Northrop P-61 Black Widow:
- Linear velocity in circular motion was increased. As a result, the aircraft will develop a higher speed in turns without stalling, which will lead to a larger turn radius.
- More time will be needed to reach maximum roll and pitch rates.
- The maximum pitch rate was slightly decreased.
- The aircraft's armament became slightly less accurate.
- Overheating and cooldown rates of its weapons were adjusted to match those of similar armament installed on other aircraft.
