A bug which would portray ground vehicles as being destroyed during replays after losing 2 crew members, has been fixed.

The rear ammo storage bulkhead protection of the MBT-70/KPz-70 is now enclosed by spaced armour: 19mm steel, 38mm air space, 12mm steel. Source: Bundesarchiv, BW 1/402733.

A bug relating to active armour mechanics when shaped charge angled-shots strike reactive armour “blocks” has been fixed. Previously, the angle at which a round would strike armour would not correctly have an effect on the damage dealt. Now the maximum protection is attainable with a round strike at 60 degrees giving an armour thickness of 370-400mm. Striking the armour at geometrical ‘normal’(perpendicular) will result in an equivalent protection of about 100 mm.

Client stability has been improved.
