New campaigns:

- DCS: Spitfire Fight or Die Campaign by Reflected Simulations

- DCS: A-10C II Outpost Part II Campaign by Stone Sky

- DCS: F-16C Fangs Out Campaign by Fight's On Simulation

##### DCS Core

AI Aircraft

- B-17G. Strange pitch actions during takeoff run. Pitch is changed several times so the couple of tail wheel bounces appear. Fixed.

- AI makes several "rocking wings" motion during climb. Fixed.

- AI wingmen cannot descend low after following the lead climb. Fixed.

- Strange behavior of the AI during target pursuit. While flying behind a target, the aircraft periodically performs maneuvers, loses speed and again tries to pursue the target. Fixed.

- Mosquito. "Restrict afterburner" advanced waypoint action does not restrict WEP. Fixed.

- MiG-15bis. Nose wheel incorrect animation (goes under ground). Aircraft pitch instant change right before takeoff run. Fixed.

- MiG-25PD, MiG-25RBT, and MiG-31 aircraft have a max altitude in ME that is too low. Fixed. NOTE extreme ceiling above 20 000 m could be reached with very specific conditions - minimum weight, no weapon, max speed.

AI Ground

- If the SAM system gets in the water, it can't lock onto targets. Fixed.

- Fixed T-80B track rotation speed.

- T-62M: Model AP shell, armor penetration by an AP shell, armor and chassis - fixed.

- Fixed a crash when performing a threat check on an already deleted unit.

- Reduced RCS of ballistic missiles Iskander and ATACMS from 2.0 to 0.2 sq.m.

- AN/M-64 bomb, added fuse options for F-86F

- [Kuznetsov aircraft carrier weapons](https://forum.dcs.world/topic/386272-kuznetsov-defensive-missiles-go-directly-to-the-water/):

- Kinzhal SAM missiles go directly into the water - fixed.

- Lead mode adjusted for SHORAD CLOS systems, mode switch logic in case of ecm, alternative loft in ecm environment

Data Transfer Cartridge:

- Fixed: Crashes on close when players were moved to spectators.

- Fixed: CTD when selecting "auto" (HSI/Waypoint) with TOT.

- Fixed: DTC deleting Bullseye co-ordinates.

- Fixed: DTC load map warning popup unexpected.

- [Fixed: F/A-18C - Unable to edit or add TGT point correctly if DTC is loaded.](https://forum.dcs.world/topic/386594-issues-with-hornet-tot-and-dtc-version-2992521402/)

- Fixed: F/A-18C - Changing altitude on RTE SEQ tab is changing waypoint elevation.
