All platforms

Crossplay

Players on PC and PlayStation 5 now share the same battles and matchmaking queues by default. PS5 players can opt out in settings.

New Content

Three new aircraft available as separate DLC packs: Ju 87 D-5, I-16 type 27 and Bf 109 Z-1 Zwilling.
Two new single-player missions: Zero Fuel and Convoy Hunter.
The Khalkhin gol operation can now be encountered in general matchmaking for USSR vs Japan
The Tunisia operation may now appear in general matchmaking for Germany vs. USA.
The Pas-de-Calais operation has been added to general matchmaking for WWI.
A Pas-de-Calais mission for WWI aircraft has been added to Team Death Match.
New missions have been added to Custom battles: Tunisia and Khalkhin Gol.
Pas-de-Calais location has been added to the mission editor for WWI aircraft.

Gameplay

The accuracy of AI aircraft turrets has been adjusted.
Fixed bots behavior in Air Domination missions.
In multiplayer missions ground units now react to destroyed bridges: units too close to a destroyed bridge are destroyed, units nearby stop moving.
Fixed score not being awarded for some battle actions.

Progression and unlocks

Specific unlock conditions for skins are now displayed clearly in the UI.
Fixed one single-player mission counting as several battles in the leaderboard.

Controls

New auxiliary actions can now be bound in control settings: toggles for the collimator sight and cockpit lights, and separate actions to open and close the canopy.
Fixed the loss of spatial control when opening the Multi-Function Menu: spatial inputs are no longer affected by other bindings or by the menu.
Fixed a bug that might occasionally prevent changing an input binding.
Fixed a bug where some gameplay actions could happen while binding controls in battle (e.g. camera zoom-out or throttle changes).

Missions and Mission Editor

Added allied and enemy aircraft selection and their number to the Mission editor.
Fixed missing bombing and assault missions in the Mission editor.
Replaced the Tu-4 with the Yak-3 and La-5 in the USSR test flight for historical accuracy.

Interface

Added a player card with brief player statistics and all contact actions. Contact actions have moved here, while the contacts menu keeps the basic actions for each group and invitation handling.
Added the ability to search for players by nickname globally, without having to enter a battle together first. Local contacts are searched first and shown immediately. Group search has been added as well.
The interface options layout has been improved: settings for altitude and speed source data are now in a separate section above the measurement units.
Spawn point icons on the map are now easier to notice.
Fixed the map disappearing in the lobby after changing the mission.
Fixed the inability to change team in a Custom Battle that is already in progress.
Fixed the inability to select the opposite team's country in the Custom Battles lobby.
Fixed a bug in the kill log which caused bot names to be missing under some circumstances.
Fixed the QR code (Support) window not closing in the respawn menu, and some cases where it could not be closed with conventional gamepad buttons.
When using a controller to navigate side tabs in menus, the selection no longer jumps to the menu on the left on up/down movements.
UI navigation hints for xinput-compatible devices are now shown and hidden properly. Previously they were hidden when the cursor was over the menu panel even if navigation with a connected device was available.
Some localization strings have been updated in a number of languages.

VR

Default head positions were adjusted to be more realistic and comfortable for the Bf 110 G-2, Hurricane Mk.IV, Typhoon Mk.Ib, SBD-3, Spitfire Mk.I, Yak-3, Yak-9T, IL-2M 1943, P-40, Fokker Dr.I , Bf-109 F-4, Bf-109 G-2 and FW-190 A-4.
Restored the missing gear indicator hint on the Bf 110 G-2.

PlayStation 5

The Contacts menu tab is now available.
Crossplay settings are now available in the Options tab: PS5 players can chose not to participate in battles with PC players and to only see leaderboards for PS5 specifically.
