•Tags (no longer you will need to change name when you switch clan!)
•Ranks inside the clans
•Full Clan UI – their own page with descriptions, logo, motto etc. (Logos in future could be used as decals on your planes, but not from the start.)
•Squadrons will be possible to use during tournaments, more of which are planned for the future.
New UI
Complete rework of the UI in the game. A lot of stuff will be better and easier to use. You won't need keyboard to use new UI – it will be possible to click on needed buttons to do something (like turn on decals, switch them etc).
Streaming from in game
You will able to stream directly from in game without using additional software!
