War Thunder Patch Notes on July 7

A bug has been fixed where the equivalent of multi-layer armour structures located at large angles was smaller than indicated in the protection analysis.
U-SH 405, AMX-13 (SS.11), AMX-13 (HOT) — damage to the external ammunition (ATGM and rockets) will no longer initiate overpressure damage.

Aircraft model, damage model, characteristic and weaponry changes:

Tiger HAD, Tiger HAP – a bug has been fixed that resulted in HOT-3 launching containers remaining closed after all missiles deplete in the following presets: “HOT-3 x8, Mistral x2, SNEB x12” and “HOT-3 x 8, Mistral x4”.
P-400 – a bug has been fixed that allowed installation of the 500lb AN-M64A1 bomb without researching the corresponding modification.
