Seems like an awesome update! Can't wait to try out Route E-106 now.

[Geronimo]

Added Driver Vision Enhancement (DVE) to US armored vehicles. Activate with X in driver view.

It's basically a fixed forward facing thermal view for anyone wondering.

[Raklodder]

Thanks for the new cache locations and improved commo-rose spam.

[Mouthpiece]

It's basically a fixed forward facing thermal view for anyone wondering.

What was the problem with forwards facing thermal view? Hadn't noticed anything.

Anyway, seems like an excellent update all together. Good job DEV team. Oh, and I love the change from US to Dutch forces in Route E-106.

[cassius23]

Added AK-74M with 1P78 Kashtan scope. Added to various Russian Kits.

Was this scope used on any other weapons before the update? Or is it new?

[Mineral]

It's brand spanking new.

We just released v1.4.16.0 hotfix btw. There was a bug in the PR launcher which made mumble not work as intended.

[CG-Delta]

Mineral;2171412']

[*]Updated AA missiles to have increased turn radius, increased trigger distance and decreased splash damage radius.

What is trigger distance? The range from a locked aircraft or flare that the missile will detonate upon? Is it only locked targets or any flare/aircraft through its path?

[Barbrady]

Have the sights on the spg techie been fixed? They were too small and had a border around them.

[LiamNL]

Apparantly the Russian grenadier didnt get some lovin and still has the old scope.

[Mineral]

Have the sights on the spg techie been fixed? They were too small and had a border around them.

Border should be fixed. The rest is intended.

[Rabbit]

still 15 minute spawn on trans helis on nuijamaa

[AlbiK]

Excellent update ,and the most thing i like is the choppers flares

[WarEagle751]

Really liking this new update!

[Gerfand]

[*]Fixed Starstreak Missile getting triggered by moving ground vehicles.

Spoiler for :

[TBoy205]

It's brand spanking new.

Just not the reticle. And the reticle is too big, FYI. Looks like battlefield 4.(Referring to the new Kashtan optic.)

Border should be fixed. The rest is intended.

Fk yes. (Referring to the SPG reticle image being cropped wrong.)

[Mineral]

Just not the reticle. And the reticle is too big, FYI. Looks like battlefield 4.(Referring to the new Kashtan optic.)

Unfortunately our engine wouldn't allow 3D reticles to be any smaller. It gets all kinds of fucked up when vertexes are closer together :/

[Mr.VdHeide]

Exactly what Mineral said. It used to be smaller but it didnt work with the engine so we had to scale it up.

Can a dev please help HOG or FCV get their servers running? HOG admins need help starting their server as it won't start after the update. Get in touch with Super_6_5. There are 3 filled EU servers and 0 NA servers on a Friday.
