Locations & Missions: Updated Ardennes and the Return of White Rock Fortress!

[p] [/p][p]White Rock Fortress makes a return to the game after 4 years! This beloved map has received a hefty visual upgrade and has been rebuilt in some areas, but the familiar navigation we all know has remained largely the same.[/p][p] [/p][/tr][/tr]

[p][img src="https://clan.akamai.steamstatic.com/images/4649813/859299d0eb7c122d00bcc064d4327e1140bf9247.png"][/img][/p]

[p]White Rock Fortress[/p]

[p]
Ardennes has been visually updated and rendered in modern graphics standards with a wealth of fine detail. The original layout has remained the same.[/p][p] [/p][/tr][/tr]

[p][img src="https://clan.akamai.steamstatic.com/images/4649813/b0d31b90bca03365eef0e3a8c965cd44d164374e.jpg"][/img][/p]

[p]Updated Ardennes[/p]

[p] [/p][p] [/p]

New Water Effects

[p]One of the key changes was the support for an animated height map for water effects. This allows the geometric shape of the water to change according to the needs of each effect, such as a bullet cutting through the water's surface, a bomb explosion, the wake from a torpedo slicing through water, or even a raindrop disturbing the mirror-like water surface. This effect is procedural, meaning it literally deforms the surface mesh, creating a sense of tangible depth even in static frames.[/p][p] [/p][p][/p][p] [/p][p]We’ve got more details about the new effects in a dedicated dev blog here, check it out![/p][p][dynamiclink href="https://steamcommunity.com/games/236390/announcements/detail/505104250950385836"][/dynamiclink][/p][p] [/p]

There’s plenty more to see!

[p]Check out the full changelog for all improvements and additions![/p][p] [/p]

New locations and missions

[p align="justify"]Ardennes — the location has been completely graphically updated. The models of buildings, decorative objects, the appearance of the landscape and vegetation have been updated. Interactive abandoned bulldozers and tractors have been added. However, the landscape and the general layout of the location have remained largely unchanged, allowing you to use the same tactics as before.[/p][/*]
[p align="justify"]White Rock Fortress — the location has been completely graphically updated and added back to the rotation. The following gameplay changes have been made as well: the landscape elevation differences have been reduced, the roads have been re-planned, the landscape along them has been changed, additional passages in the long parts of the walls have been added, the spawn points have been relocated and made more protected, but the general layout of the location remains the same.[/p][/*]

[p align="justify"]There used to be three sets of AA used at the following Battle Ratings: 1.0-2.7, 3.0-7.3, 7.7+.[/p][/*]
[p align="justify"]There are now seven sets of AA used at the following Battle Ratings: 1.0-2.0, 2.3-3.3, 3.7-4.7, 5.0-6.3, 6.7-7.7, 8.0-10.3, 10.7+.[/p][/*]

[p][/p]

Interface

[p align="justify"]Added the ability to change the radar screen zoom level within a desired area. To zoom, hover the cursor over the desired area of the radar indicator and use the mouse wheel to change the zoom level. The zoomed area can be moved by holding down the middle mouse button. When using the sector indicator mode, instead of the rectangular one, the zoomed area is displayed in a separate screen next to the main one.[/p][/*]
[p align="justify"]Added cursor control for ground vehicle radars.[/p][/*]

Game mechanics

[p align="justify"]The failure of the rudder and elevator control cables in aircraft is no longer dependent on the tearing off of the stabilizer surfaces, rudders, or vertical stabilizers, allowing control of the remaining elevator or rudder elements to be maintained. Control rods can still be disabled by directly destroying the control rod components themselves or by disabling them through tail separation.[/p][/*]

Graphical

[p align="justify"]Water has been reworked in all locations:[/p][list]
[p align="justify"]The wave shape and distribution is now more natural, with sharp crests when rough.[/p][/*]
[p align="justify"]Reflections on the water are now anisotropic, blurred towards the observer.[/p][/*]
[p align="justify"]Foam has been redesigned.[/p][/*]

[/*][*][p align="justify"]Updated visual effects for interaction with water: explosions, vehicle movement, munition impacts.[/p][/*][*][p align="justify"]The dynamics of falling trees have been improved. They now bounce more realistically on the ground and are slightly flattened under the influence of gravity.[/p][/*][*][p align="justify"]Visual effects for vegetation destruction have been improved.[/p][/*][*][p align="justify"]A bug where small-caliber bullets would not produce impact effects on wooden materials on boats has been fixed.[/p][/*][*][p align="justify"]FPS limiter options for battles and the hangar have been added, players can access this via Options > Graphics.[/p][/*][*][p align="justify"]Support for DLSS 4.5 has been added.[/p][/*][*][p align="justify"]Non-ray tracing static and dynamic shadows have been improved.

If disabled, the game will either run with unlocked FPS at the cost of screen tearing, or use VRR, if supported by the monitor or TV.[/p][/*][*][p align="justify"]Ray Tracing features now use less video memory, which can improve RT performance, especially on systems with 6-8 GB of VRAM.[/p][/*][/list][p][/p]

Sound

[p align="justify"]A stereo headphone output mode has been added. This improves the horizontal and vertical positioning of the following enemy/ally vehicle sounds: ground vehicle engines, aircraft engines, and all weapon firing. This also applies to certain explosions: vehicle destruction, bomb explosions, and artillery shell explosions.[/p][/*]
[p align="justify"]As part of the new stereo headphone output mode, 6 expanded stereo panorama modes have also been added, which, depending on the type of used headphones and individual hearing differences can improve the perception of sound positioning in the game. Some of the modes can, in turn, worsen the experience for a specific player. We recommend trying them all and choosing the one which fits you the best.[/p][/*]
