Its fixed! 5 + Update 19.05.2021 (2.5.1.138)

In this digest we would like to tell you about our work on improvements and fixes in the game. You can find information about all updates that have been released in War Thunder on the website special section.

Guidance systems

Issues were observed by some players that were using Old videocard support graphic settings. IR guidance systems for target tracking on helicopters, aircraft and ground vehicles as well as missile weaponry with IR guided heads literally went blind and stopped locking onto target. The problem required an immediate solution the result of which we are pleased to present to all of you today. Target lock should now operate correctly at all graphic settings.

Repair at an airfields edge

Imagine the situation, our aircraft is pretty banged up from battle but we have demonstrated some skill and managed to get home! The vehicle landed but it stopped a little over the runway and no one wants to fix your aircraft! Thats sad. We received your bug reports and worked on the solution. The airfield mechanics have been given a stern talking-to and will now come to you even at the very edge of the runway. Repair and win!

Smoke sparingly

The usefulness of smoke grenades in armoured vehicles is known to every tanker - as is the fact that they always run out quickly. We changed the logic of firing smoke grenades on over 30 vehicle models which had a total of eight grenades. Now you will be able to make not one, but two volleys each with 4 grenades.

Selecting missiles in battle

Remember in Its fixed! 3 we talked about the addition of the M3A3 Bradley's ability to choose between two types of missiles in battle? Many of you reminded us immediately in the comments about a similar problem with another vehicle. Today, the BMP-2M will get the same improvement - you will be able to switch 9M133 ATGM types right in the middle of a battle.

Counter has been fixed

Airacobras from different generations are popular aircraft in all game modes and make it to the main page of this digest. We have fixed a combined 12.7 and 7.62mm machine gun ammo counter for the P-39K-1, the P-39N and the P-400. The ammunition for machine guns in these aircraft will now be counted separately.

Joystick for pilots on the Xbox

We have also added support for the Thrustmaster T.Flight Hotas One for Xbox Series S/X users in this update. Separate throttle and stick devices allow pilots to take full advantage of the aircraft's capabilities! With 5 analog axes, 14 buttons, a multidirectional hat switch and a rapid-fire trigger, what more do you need to enjoy air battles?

Tangible improvements

For each release of the Its fixed! digest we collect the most notable improvements to the game that are fun to read about. However in addition to these you will also find separate improvements in the changelog that will likely directly improve your own game experience. This time we continued to work on the guidance angles for turrets and cannons as well as fixing a lot of visual bugs in vehicles. Once again, many thanks for all your bug reports that you submitted in our bug report section on the War Thunder forums.

War Thunder is a free-to-play, cross-platform MMO combat game for Windows, Linux, Mac and PlayStation®4 dedicated to military vehicles used in and around World War II and the Korean War. In War Thunder, you can take part in major battles on land, in the air, and at sea, fighting with real players from all over the world in a continuously developing environment.

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.

War Thunder has something for everyone. Play cooperative games with your friends on Windows PC, Linux, Mac or PlayStation 4 against AI, or squad up for a PvP battle in a difficulty setting matching your play style, ranging from Arcade to Simulator using Mouse and Keyboard, Gamepad or Joystick.

Features include:

An entire arsenal at your command - Over 500 highly detailed aircraft, tanks, and other combat vehicles crafted carefully from historical documents and surviving sources.
Right into the heat of battle - Intense PvP experiences in full-scale combat missions on various difficulty settings for all play styles and degrees of experience.
A single bullet can make a difference - A realistic damage system for aircraft and ground vehicles involving individual component durability instead of an overall health bar.
The true free to play experience - Download and play the game for free as much and as long as you like it. Support the ongoing development entirely at your own leisure.
Crossing the platform border - Seamless cross-platform gameplay between Windows PC, Linux, Mac and PlayStation®4 (more to come) with tens of thousands of players from all over the globe online at the same time.
