Hotfix 2018-11-27: Long rod shattering, ballistics, and HEAT post-pen

• Fixed bug where especially thin or soft armor pieces could still cause long rod penetrators to shatter from oblique impact
• Fixed bug where HEAT jet post-pen effectiveness was erroneously tied to the speed the round had on impact
• Changed T-72M ammo load to period-correct selections and cross-referenced performance with known real-world firing tables
• Corrected ballistics parameters for almost every round, including projectile mass, sectional area, and drag coefficient (using educated guesses where necessary)
• Lowered thickness of T-90 lower front plate
• Lowered thickness of M1A2 SEP lower front plate backing
• Added T-72M targets to firing range

Update 2018-11-26: What You Did in the Dark

• Added "T-72 Night Brawl" mission to showcase TPN-1-49 night sight and Luna-2 IR spotlight
• Implemented dynamic spotting distance for AI crew members - their performance is now affected by numerous factors including equipment status, time of day, and whether their vehicle and/or the target is using active illumination
• Implemented momentary shutter close for TPN-1-49 night sight; it is triggered by the main gun trigger and is intended to protect the sensor from the muzzle flash
• Fixed bug where spotlights would remain active even on a burning vehicle
• Fixed bug where AI crews would fail to properly lase targets, causing all of their shots to fall significantly short (note that this makes several missions more difficult)
• Fixed bug where turret traverse sound was audible with turret locked in place
• Fixed position of target tracking status message in HUD

Update 2018-11-25: The Legend of UralVagonZavod

• Added T-72M to the game.  This is a mildly upgraded variant with the upper glacis weld-on reinforcement plate.  It features a work-in-progress TPD-K1 sight and a fully implemented TPN-1-49 night sight that's only usable in darkness.  
• Added night vision optics implementation
• Added control to illuminate gunner's sight reticle
• Added control to illuminate IR searchlight
• Lowered strength of M1A2 SEP gun mantlet
• Added special modifier to make M829A3 dart more effective against Kontakt-5 ERA
• Darkened environment in Wasteland Hard mission to make night optics more necessary
• Fixed bug where commander could turn his viewer through a full circle without cause
• Fixed tank round tracers appearing head-on as if viewed from behind
• Fixed missing heat effects on some vehicles

Update 2018-11-19: Night lights

• Improved lighting of all particle systems in dark environments
• Changed several tank materials to use physically based rendering system
• Added illumination to AAR to improve usability in dark scenes
• Changed Wasteland Hard mission to night
• Fixed a bug that would cause unviewable shots to appear in the AAR list when all filters were set to the most permissive level

Update 2018-11-18: Fireflies

• Added visible metal shards to spall projectiles
• Added impact sparks for kinetic rounds
• Added ricochet sparks for all ammo
• Added pitch shifting to turret traverse sound
• Changed armor values for T-90 Kontakt-5 panels and upper glacis composite

Update 2018-11-11: Auxiliary

• Separated auxiliary ammo racks from main ones: now all player vehicles and many AI vehicles will only carry ammo in their main racks, reducing the chance of ammo ignition during battle (and also the total ammo count)
• Changed ammo counts for all main battle tanks and the 2S25 Sprut-SD
• AI gunners with advanced skill will now take into account the momentum of their tank when firing on the move
• AI crew members will now be able to spot partially concealed vehicles better
• Tracking mode now has two variants: auto and manual; in vehicles with manual tracking, the tracking key must be held down during the lead induction
• Gunner crew member will now wait until a round is ready to report "on the way"
• Damage reports will now specify what surface a ricochet was on
• Fixed armor layout of M1A2 SEP driver's compartment
• Fixed armor layout of T-90 ammo carousel
• Fixed several bugs with commander spotting
• Fixed a bug where the commander's sight would continue to function after being destroyed
• Fixed a bug where some voice lines could get repeated excessively
• Fixed a bug where AI drivers could accelerate tanks past their physical speed limits
• Fixed a bug where vehicles with firing computers but no computerized tracking would report tracking mode status on the HUD
• Fixed a bug where dedicated ATGM vehicles would not have fully functional voice lines
• Fixed a bug where tank turrets could change aim point after the gunner was incapacitated
• Fixed a bug where crew members could talk while incapacitated
• Fixed damage report naming for hull Kontakt-5 panels on T-90
