Update 1.5

Overview / New Content

Without question, the biggest feature of this update is the new 'Battle Against Bots' game mode. In it, you'll be playing with human players cooperatively against a team of computer-controlled opponents. This new game mode will not only be very interesting for beginners, but also allow for a more carefree plane-testing environment, as well as a more laid-back game experience in general for all pilots.

Another key point of this update is the introduction of complex ground targets. You will now be able to shoot off individual parts of previously single-pieced ground targets, which will make the ground game more varied and interesting.

We're adding a total of 42 new achievements to the game across all modes, ranging from easily-reachable ones for beginners to more challenging ones for experienced players.

New Features for Beginners

'Battle Against Bots' Mode

You can switch to this new game mode by clicking on the dedicated sub-menu next to the "Battle!" button in the Hangar. In this new mode, 1-5 human players get teamed up together while the rest of the roster -- both on the human players' side and their opponents' side -- is filled up by computer-controlled bots. The rules and team sizes are the same as in Standard Battle mode: 15 vs 15 battle for either wipeout or superiority. However, there are some rules that set this new mode apart from regular Standard- or Training Battle mode:

• Both ammunition belts and consumables are replenished after each battle automatically at no charge
• No standard reward for the battle, but player can get a special reward for combat missions such as destroying the ground targets and enemy planes. After completing each battle mission it becomes more difficult
• You will not receive the usual rewards (XP or Credits) for battles in the PvE mode. Instead, you'll be able to complete mode-specific missions (like quests) for destroying aircraft or ground targets, which will grant their own type of reward. The degree of difficulty for these PvE-Quest chains will increase progressively
• This battle mode has its own battle missions and achievements
• The battle results of this game mode are not being taken into account or displayed in your in-game profile (displayed in the 'Service Record' tab). However, the completion of mode-specific achievements will figure in said statistic

Simplified Gameplay for Beginners

Some Hangar functions will from now on be blocked by default for new accounts:

• The PvE mode will be chosen automatically -- other game modes will initially not be available
• New players will not be able to spend Gold, Credits or XP
• In the beginning, all new players will only have one tier I plane available to them. To unlock other planes, players will need to complete special in-game battle missions

In order to unlock all regular Hangar functions, each new player will have to complete a special battle mission, which consists of destroying 10 ground targets or enemy planes in one or several battles. Players will also be able to skip this mission to directly unlock all Hangar functions, however, in this case, they will not receive the dedicated mission reward.

Reworked Superiority System

We have reworked one of the key components of Standard Battles -- the hunt for enemy ground targets -- in significant fashion. Now, all ground targets will consist of multiple parts (as opposed to being made out of one piece gameplay-wise even when showing multiple elements previously). This will make the ground game more logical and interesting. At the same time, the superiority-mechanic will be adjusted, to reflect the impact of attack aircraft and fighters on their teams' success accordingly.

New Ground Target Destruction Mechanics

We have completely reworked the ground-target destruction mechanic and the superiority-algorithm in Standard Battle mode:

• All ground targets now consist of multiple parts and have been entirely retouched
• Now, some of these parts of ground targets can have multiple characteristics such as armored, not armored or armed with an AA-gun
• Armoured objects can only be destroyed with powerful weaponry such as large calibre cannons, bombs or rockets. Inversely, weaker weapons such as smaller-calibre MGs will only be able to destroy unarmored targets or AA-guns
• Depending on how difficult they will be to destroy, different parts of ground targets will award players with more or less superiority points

Superiority Mechanics

• The overall amount of winnable superiority points that players gain from destroying enemy planes and ground targets has been increased
• The destruction of one enemy plane is now worth considerably more than the destruction of an enemy ground target

Filling the Superiority Meter

• As soon as a team earns at least one superiority point, its corresponding superiority meter starts to fill up
• The rate at which the superiority meter fills up is now directly proportional to the number of superiority points scored by its team. Every superiority point a team earns increases the speed at which the superiority meter fills up
• This means that the superiority meter of both teams will be constantly filling up, varying in speed depending on the number of superiority points of its team. A battle can either be won by destroying all enemy planes, or by having your own superiority meter fill up completely first

Setting the Superiority Meter Back

• The superiority meter can only be set back by way of destroying enemy ground targets or planes
• The percentage by which a superiority meter is set back depends on the superiority value of the destroyed ground target or plane

New Planes

Premium planes available for purchase in the Premium Shop

• Breda Ba.27 Metallico: tier III Chinese fighter
• Nakajima Ki-43-Ic: tier IV Japanese fighter

Maps

• New map "Canyon," available for tier III-X planes
• Completely reworked "National park," available for tier I-V planes
• Adjusted plane spawn points on "Lighthouse" map
• Adjusted plane spawn points on "Arctic Region" map
• Due to the introduction of complex ground targets their locations were reviewed and adjusted on most maps

Gameplay

Matchmaker Improvements

• Fix for the problem of frequent creation of battles with no mid-tier planes (when most planes of a team have a two tier-spread)
• We are introducing a more flexible balancing mechanic which will better take into account the presence and composition of flights, plane classes and participating planes' tiers
• Reduced chance of being the lowest-tier plane in a battle for multiple battles in a row

Physics & Balance Changes

Damage model

• The collision damage calculation has been adjusted. When two planes collide, now one of the two has a better chance than the other to survive the ramming. Colliding with the wings will cause less damage than collisions of the fuselage or the engine

Shooting

• Bomb and rocket damage changed according to the requirements of the new superiority mode and complex ground targets
• Firing lines now converge at the maximum firing distance. This will reduce the visual spread of fire of your wing-mounted weapons and make for a denser-looking line of fire
• There is now a small, random spread to how far each bullet travels. This will eliminate the effect of fire suddenly stopping to deal damage at always exactly the same distance
• Reduced dispersion while maneuvering
• Increased dispersion in a dive
• Increased dispersion of bombs
• Better firing visuals for 30mm and larger caliber cannons
• Better firing visuals for rear gunners

Economy

Repair costs for Premium planes were reduced by 50% compared to repair costs of other non-Premium planes of the same tier.

Price changes for modules and ammunition

• The price of the 30mm Type 5 (C) (J7W2 Shinden-Kai) cannons was reduced from 133,500 to 80,500 Credits per unit. Players who have these cannons in the depot or mounted on their plane, will be compensated accordingly with the difference
• The price of the 30mm Type 17 (C) (J7W2 Shinden-Kai and J7W3) cannons was reduced from 155,000 to 85,000 Credits per unit. Players who have these cannons in the depot or mounted on their plane, will be compensated accordingly with the difference

Fixed the bug with the prices of 12.7mm MG-53-2 and 12.7mm MG-53HB belts:

• 12.7mm MG-53-2: the price of the standard belt was changed to 500 Credits per belt, armor-piercing and incendiary: 1,000 Credits, armor-piercing incendiary: 5 Gold
• 12.7mm MG-53HB: the price of the standard belt was changed to 900 Credits per belt, armor-piercing and incendiary : 1,800 Credits, armor-piercing incendiary : 9 Gold

• Improved look for propellers on planes
• Depending on their distance to your plane, markers for planes and ground targets will now appear more or less transparent. The further away, the more transparent a marker will be. The shorter the distance, the more solid the marker will become
• Drawing distance of planes and ground targets has been doubled. The display distance of markers has been doubled as well to facilitate orientation in battle. Please take note that the aircraft detection range (visibility system) remains the same as before, which means that your pilots still only see as far as always and not twice as far all of a sudden. Still, this modification fixes the bug when markers would not appear on clearly detected planes at long range
