On the 21st of January 2021, starting from 8:00 CET (20th of January, 11 PM PST), the server will not be available for 5 hours due to the application of Update 0.34.7640

 

 

List of Update 0.34.7640 Changes

 

In this update, we’ve added four new Hades vehicles that are now available as Battalion Contract Mission rewards. You can read more about them in our dedicated article.

General Changes

  • Vehicles with multiple weapon systems (for example the BMPT series with autocannons and ATGM launchers) now, instead of a unified icon for both of them, now have a separate icon for each of these systems in the Upgrade window, allowing you to see (upon mouseover) the properties of each system separately for your convenience
  • The ammo swap speed bonus skill for crews now works correctly
  • You can now disable the confirmation windows for Credit and XP purchases and unlocks in the Settings window
  • Added a new vehicle filter option – Progression Vehicles
  • All the vehicles with a transmission that allows them to go in reverse really fast have received a description trait that indicates this ability
  • The following vehicles can now carry more ammunition than before: KTO Rosomak, Rosomak M1M, Marder 2, BMP-3, BMP-3M, BMD-2M, BMD-4, FV510 Warrior, ZBL-08, OT-64A Cobra, BVP M-80A and LAV-150
  • AMX-10 RCR: This vehicle now has the ability to go very fast in reverse
  • K1A1, K2 Black Panther: Fixed the Designate Target active ability tooltip so that it displays correct information about the ability’s duration (5 seconds instead of 10 seconds)
  • Khrizantema-S: Switched the positions of the track and engine icons in this vehicle’s upgrade window
  • M1A2 series: Fixed the appearance of Battalion decals
  • M1A2: Updated the improved engine UI values to reflect their real state (the performance itself was not improved)
  • Merkava Mk.1 and Merkava Mk.2B now feature the same shell accuracy as Merkava Mk.2D
  • Object 195: Fixed the incorrect ammo rack module placement (firing at the turret from behind too often resulted in an ammo explosion)
  • Object 195: The smoke grenade launcher now has the same properties as those on the Armata 152 MBT (8 charges, 25 second reload time)
  • Object 195, T-90: Firing the gun now makes the vehicle recoil in a more realistic fashion
  • PL-01: Fixed an issue where the turret would sometimes take full damage when penetrated from the side
  • Swingfire: Fixed the missile flight trajectory
  • Type 99A, Type 99A2, Type 99A2-140: Updated the armor values of these vehicles after the hull visual model overhaul so that they’d correspond to the pre-overhaul state protection-wise, fixed the collision model of these vehicles
  • Fixed an issue where it was possible, under some very specific circumstances, to purchase multiple Battle Coin Shop items from one slot without having to pay for a manual stock refresh
  • Fixed an issue where a Battle Path mission requiring eliminations would not work correctly in the Global Operations mode (some eliminations did not count properly)
  • Several New Year decals no longer have non-transparent background
  • Fixed the alphabetical sorting of visual customization items
  • Fixed an issue where the fourth and the fifth mission of the M8 Thunderbolt II Battalion Contract were identical
  • Added a “Don’t show this window anymore” ticker to the Battle Coin Shop manual reroll confirmation window
  • Fixed an UI issue where the names of Battalions would in some rare cases get translated in battle
  • Fixed an issue where the objective capture timer and indicator would not appear correctly if an objective appeared at a location where a player vehicle was already standing
  • Fixed an issue where, upon receiving one of the Battle Path Chain Mission rewards, it was impossible to open the Chain Mission tab
  • The Al Dabbah map now has a monolith object on it as an Easter egg
  • Fixed several smaller visual model issues
  • Added several new assets for future events

Ammo increase for the Rosomak, good. But why are the BMPs lumped into that list as well when they are perfectly fine?

I'm not understanding the why they would do it either unless it is related to PvP/Global Ops which is a real possibility now.

Pre-overhaul state of Type 99A2-140 armor could be its state of day 1 release in loot boxes (joke).

Unfortunately, the launch of an update on January 21, 2021, introduced two serious issues to the game:

  • A considerable amount of matches ends up in a crash (this mostly affects the Global Operations mode)
  • Problems with the Battle Path Shop UI leading to some difficulties with purchases

We are currently working on resolving these issues, but for now, we’d like to apologize for the inconvenience and ask for your patience.

So they gave the Rosomaks more ammo (which is a good thing, they needed more ammo), but left the poor AGDS with its pathetic 24 missiles?

For the BMP-3, the AC capacity was buffed just slightly. It's nice to have an option to use the AC instead of spamming ATGMs all day. The BVP-M80A with the Foka turret really eats ammo, so it needed a bigger magazine to be worthwhile. Not much sense to have high DPM if there isn't enough M.

Not qualified to say much about the others, although I agree the LAV-150 is a head-scratcher. Never had to hit the Q key on that one.

That's the thing, the BMP series are already extremely viable with dakka spam. There really isn't any need for the ammo capacity increase for most of the vehicles.
