Bombers in Practice mode

From now on, bombers will appear every two minutes as additional targets in Practice mode. We hope that this will help you hone your skills in taking down enemy planes and prepare you for battles against other players.
Locations and missions

We’ve added a new "Wald West (Invasion)" mission for you to test your tactical skills under fresh combat conditions!
Additionally, we’ve fixed the incorrectly placed stationary machine gun in the "D-Day" missions, added new cover to the "River crossing (Conquest) Large", "Omer (Conquest)" and "Fortified district (Conquest)" missions, plus improved the placement of capture points in the latter.
Other changes
- Fixed an issue where Molotov cocktails, phosphorus grenades and impact grenades would hover in the air if the player died while throwing them.
- Replaced the duplicate yellow torso customization option for the Krieghoff FG (Germany, Premium) squad with the missing green one.
- Added the option to use "Digits (Axis)" decals on Italian and Japanese vehicles.
- Fixed an issue where the adjustments (scale, rotation, condition) to the default camouflage of bikes, APCs, Battle Pass, Event and Twitch Drop tanks were not reflected on the vehicles in battles.
- Corrected the spread of the PPSh-41 (box) to be in line with the PPSh-41.
- Corrected the spread of the Type 100 MG on its stat card.
- Fixed the incorrect camouflage of the P-51C-10 in the hangar and when viewed from outside in battles.
