Gaijin Entertainment pushed Update 2.53.0.33 to the Steam announcement page, adjusting battle ratings for a couple of vehicles and resolving a handful of display and mission bugs. The changes target ground combat balance and a few mission/location glitches that affected matchmaking and in-mission visuals.
For context on this patch series and recent fixes, see our earlier coverage of the previous 2.53.0.26 update here.
Patch Notes
Update 2.53.0.33
Ground Vehicles
- BMPT, BMPT-72 – the Battle Rating in all modes has been increased from 10.3 to 10.7. Because the vehicles turned out to be very effective, it’s possible that the BR increase to 10.7 might not be enough for them to become balanced. We will continue to monitor them and will make changes if needed.
- T-64B – Battle Rating in all game modes has been increased from 9.7 to 10.0.
- A bug that caused some APDS shells to lack an armor plate that demonstrated the penetration characteristics in the hangar has been fixed.
Locations and Missions
- [Assault] Sinai – a bug that caused the invisible rocks to appear in the mission has been fixed.
Customization and Achievements
- Demonstration camouflages for BMPT, BMPT-72 – the conditions for automatic camouflage selection have been corrected to desert conditions.
