Founding of the South African National Defense Force: Rooikat 105 Returns for Golden Eagles!
In 1910, the Union of South Africa was formed, and two years later on July 1st 1912, the Defense Forces were founded. They served in WWI and WWII, as well as the Korean War. Currently, 74,000 people serve in the South African National Defense Forces.
The Rooikat 105 returns for Golden Eagles and is here to stay!
In honor of the 112th anniversary of the South African National Defense Force, the Rooikat 105 is back for 9,090 Golden Eagles and will not be gone.
When: From today.
Where: Great Britain > Army > Premium vehicles.
About this tank
The Rooikat 105 is the ‘Caracal’, already well-known to fans of South African vehicles, but instead of a 76 mm cannon, it has a 105 mm gun. This gun has good armor penetration and a thermal imager and laser rangefinder to provide easy shooting in any conditions. Flank as much as possible and drive on roads where the Rooikat maintains excellent speed.

A bug that caused very large target markers to appear on the radar display causing the arc to occupy a larger part of the circle than it should has been fixed. (Report).
Aircraft
Duplicate display of the ballistic computer when capturing a target with the radar in Arcade Battles has been fixed. The display of the lead by the radar interface is disabled, only the display by the “floating” sight reamins. Without radar target acquisition, the logic of operation remains the same — the lead marker is displayed in the same way as on all aircraft in Arcade Battles.
JAS39C — inaccuracies in the standard and additional camouflages have been corrected.
MiG-29 (Italy) — inaccuracies in the standard camouflage have been corrected. (Report).
Mirage 5F — inaccuracies in the additional unpainted camouflage have been corrected.
MiG-23BN — the colors used in the additional camouflage have been corrected.
AH-64 (all variants) — a new, specially made font is now used on MFDs.
Locations
Carpathians — a position behind the spawn points in squares G3/G4 from where players could fire from a safe position over a long distance have been blocked.
Volcanic Island — the heading of boat spawns being directed towards the island have been fixed.
Unnaturally high trees in the following locations have been fixed:
Rocky Canyon
Mysterious Valley
Rocky Pillars
Rice Terraces
Guiana Highlands
Golan Heights
Zhengzhou
Aleutian Islands
South Africa
Customization
Dutch Air Force roundel decals have been added.
The conditions for obtaining and using decals with the identification marks of the Belgian and Dutch Air Forces have been changed. Now they are only obtainable using vehicles from France, Belgium and the Netherlands.
