Game Update 1.1.4

[h2]Dear Tankers and Mechanics![/h2]

[h3]Sitrep[/h3]
We are back with another patch. This time, we were forced to release it early. Initially, we had planned to release a major update on 11 November. However, issues with the tutorials (the AI gunner was not shooting, thus blocking multi crew) and Unity informing us of critical security issues meant that we had to prepare an earlier patch.

• Graphics overhaul, blurry graphics fix, better sky, shadows and terrain quality

Below is the full list of changes being made:

Added:
