Before every major update we release devblogs where you can learn in detail about new locations, vehicles, complex game mechanics and features that you will be able to try out in the game.
But you have often asked us to tell you in detail about work on improvements of already existing game mechanics and bug fixes as well as whats new. So because of this we are starting a new section in which we will talk weekly about such improvements and fixes in the released updates so that you will clearly notice and like them in the game.
Saving shells
Let's begin the digest with a useful improvement in the popular Protection Analysis feature.
We have added a Remember Ammo checkbox to the analysis window. Switch it on and the shell will not be reset when analyzing the penetration on probable opponents with the same shell. Remembering the ammo will be also saved when exiting the simulation as long as you dont select another vehicle type. This will definitely come in handy for many players!
Interaction with the flight deck
In one of the previous updates last week we improved aircraft interaction with the aircraft carriers flight deck. Now aircraft carriers that can be found in many aircraft locations will better serve you. Your aircraft will no longer fall below deck when landing and starting the engine on the deck will not cause unexpected propeller failure. Reliable flights end for landing and confident takeoffs!
User made sights for rocket tanks
Do you remember that in one of the previous changelogs we added reticle sights for vehicles with rocket weaponry? This temporarily disabled the ability to install custom sights for those vehicles. And now we are fixing it! Now for BM-8-24, RBT-5, Calliope, Type 75 MLRS and other vehicles with rocket weaponry you will be able to create or use custom sights already published by other players.
Armor penetration traces on crew member models
Have you seen how cool the penetration on armoured vehicles are displayed in the game? Sticking shells, holes created? In some places we overdid it a bit and the effects were applied even on the poor crews in open cabins. The fix is out! Tankers will no longer display penetration traces.
Moving with a towing cable
The mobility of a vehicle with two knocked out tracks has been restored if a tow cable has been attached to it. Thanks to our players for the report on the forum. We have fixed this effect and now it is fine!
Tree durability
Some of the cypress trees in locations were too strong against vehicles and could stop the whole tank like here. We have fixed this issue! Now you will definitely be able to win in a battle, at least over the cypresses.
Skyscrapers
The skyscrapers in the location City have become more dangerous - you will not be able to fly through some of them like in this video.
Respawn points
We will end this digest with one more piece of good news: we have fixed bugs in the respawn points in the White Rock Fortress, Frozen Pass, Campania locations. You will no longer appear behind a slope or inside objects on the environment! READ THE FULL CHANGELOG FOR UPDATE 2.5.1.89 The War Thunder Team

War Thunder already offers a highly detailed experience in military aviation and ground forces combat, giving players access to a Guinness World Record breaking number of aircraft, as well as an abundance of tanks and other combat vehicles - and the number is constantly rising.
You can feel the unmatched intensity of aerial dogfights in a fighter, the decisive power of commanding a heavy strategic bomber or the heat of battle in a ground attacker, delivering precision strikes against your enemies. Alternatively, you can join the spearhead of armoured vehicles, fighting for dominance over the battlefield on the ground: Man a heavy tank with impressive armour and firepower, use the maneuverability of a medium or light tank to your advantage, or support your team by screening the skies with your anti aircraft vehicle - the choice is yours!
In the future, the game will also allow players to ‘set sail’ by commanding a variety of warships in the fight over the control of the world’s oceans, giving the game a truly epic scale.
Master your vehicles through both upgrades and personal experience in an environment that is constantly expanding and rewarding the personal skill of the player. Organise your efforts in one of the countless player squadrons and become an ace pilot or tanker - or both! Our thriving and welcoming community of millions of players is also actively participating in the game’s ongoing development, offering custom content through War Thunder Live, such as skins, missions and even vehicles.
