I'm afraid that poor insurgents in Al Basrah and Karbala are going to be f****d up to oblivion after these changes

Yeah, I feel those changes to be a bit contradictory. If CSB are going to be easier to drive through, why make bridges non destroyable?

That will make things harder for insurgents, since destroying a bridge can help a lot by limiting the ways that BLUFOR can approach a cache.

Why not

[Bonvi]

Lovely. Very nice changes in general. Especially z-figthing, increased grenadier smoke duration, Ulyanovsk DOD and bug fixes.

Decreased view distance to 500m from 650m.

But what is the reason for that? 650 m is already unrealistically short.

Updated all concrete bridges to be non destroyable.

But why? Tactically destroying and repairing bridges was one cool feature that other games don't have.

Fixed building forward outposts and emplacements inside statics.

What does that mean? We cannot fob inside buildings anymore? Would be quite a dramatic change.

More FPS. Same VD as on Karbala, Ramiel, Kokan.

Overall a nice update.

The only gripe I have for now is that it sucks that concrete bridges can't be destroyed anymore, this was so fun (and useful for the Opfor) on Basra and Karbala, also on Grozny...
I don't see the reasoning behind this change at all. Even from the "realism" standpoint a concrete bridge should definitely be destroyed by a garry,
and as far as the gameplay goes, it wasn't OP or anything to destroy bridges with "mine IEDs", just a cool feature that most other games don't have...

The Z-fighting fix is amazing, fixed so many flickering textures
