Those are the changes from the last patch (1.34.9.225) or old version. The test versions were not patches but test versions.

Generally there is little to any change in a test release client and a release client (patch) as changes would require further testing. The last "beta" test client was a release candidate that was good to go live.

[wittmann]

The new gunsights are difficult if not impossible to see. The diameter of the stadia in the reticle is way too small. When aimed at a dark background, bush, tree, panzer, it can not be seen. When aimed at a light background, sky or white building it is then visible but very small.

As of tier 1 the following equipment is affected.

French:

R35

Stuart M3A3

25mm CA mle 1938 AA gun

25mm SA mle 1934 AT gun

M1 (57mm) AT gun

Laffly W15 TCC

British:

A13 Cruiser Mk II

Vickers Mk IV {This one is the worst}

A15 Cruiser Mk II

Daimler Mk I

Matilda Mk II

Hotchkiss 25mm AA gun

ROQF 2 pounder AT gun

ROQF 6 pounder AT gun
