Where these values came from

  • BULKHEAD · IR Goggles & CWIS Balance Hotfix, 2 October 2026 — Published at 15:39:32 UTC. BULKHEAD says IR Rangefinders will be disabled in the vendor as regional servers restart within 12 hours, then return in Season 02 with a battery requirement. It also says the CIWS now destroys the Havoc in around 6 seconds rather than 12, correcting an overcorrection in the previous patch. No client download or server downtime is required. The title spells the emplacement “CWIS”; the body uses “CIWS”, which is the spelling retained by this site. Read 2026-10-02.
