On the 3rd of March 2016, starting from 09:00 AM CET (EU server) and 01:00 AM PST (NA server), the Open Beta servers will not be available for five hours (until approximately 14:00 CET - 06:00 AM PST) due to the application of Update 0.13.1903, bringing corrections to some of the critical issues in Armored Warfare.

List of Update 0.13.1903 Changes

WZ-1224 Changes

Adjusted the cannon stats of the WZ-1224 from a historically inaccurate 125mm gun to a more accurate 120mm gun. As a result of this, some of the stats on the gun changed before release. While the DPM actually went up, some of the other changes hit the gun a bit harder than we intended, and we're making some minor adjustments to bring them back up to par.

APFSDS penetration improved from 300 to 325

HEAT penetration improved from 256 to 278

Accuracy improved from 0.15 to 0.14

Aimtime improved from 2.9 to 2.8 seconds
