In this digest we would like to tell you about our continuing 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.

Improved aiming in the sight

This will affect ground vehicles that have weapons mounted offset from the central axis. Previously, when you switched to such weaponry (both primary and secondary), the aiming marker might behave incorrectly when aiming at very close objects. We have improved these mechanics and the aiming in the described situation will noticeably improve.

Correcting the lead marker

Its hard to imagine air AB without the lead marker that tells you fairly accurately at what point to fire to hit the enemy. But when using the weaponry selector on your aircraft the marker might not take into account the ballistics of the currently selected weapon and calculate the lead point for cannons or machine guns without the selected weaponry type. That inconvenience will now be history. The marker will accurately take the ballistics of the selected weapon type into account.

Improving the mission editor

We are not talking about custom battles or test drive. You can create full fledged PvE missions to test your vehicle in near-combat conditions! The mission editor functionality can be found in the test drive window. The button is located at the left bottom of the window and opens up a wide range of mission settings, allies and even inexperienced pilots. In this mode we have fixed a bug that might cause suspended weaponry to not reload in the air.

Update 2.7.0.182

Improvements and fixes

Sight aiming for weapons which are not located at the centre of a vehicle as well as for additional armament of the ground vehicles has been improved. The sight will no longer spontaneously move away from the obstacle or from the target.
Now when using the offensive weaponry selector, the aiming marker in AB will be displayed taking into account ballistics of the selected weapon.
Hull guidance - the sight will no longer jerk from side to side when aiming.
A bug which caused armoured vehicles with hull guidance to continue spontaneous rotation toward the aiming marker if the option Fix gun direction in mouse view was enabled and the view key was held down has been fixed.
Hull guidance will now be blocked for vehicles during firefighting.
A bug that allowed armoured vehicles with adjustable suspension to retain control of the suspension when the driver was out of action has been fixed.
Fixed a bug due where, when disabling limited ammo in the Mission editor for aviation, there was no reload available in the air of suspended armament bombs and missiles.
Fixed condition for receiving decals Emblem of 1st Company of the 21st Combat Tank Battalion French army (ground vehicles of the USSR replaced by ground vehicles of France).
Fixed conditions for automatic detection of terrain type for some camouflages.
- USA Tricolor camouflage (Desert), Late summer camouflage (Desert, Urban).
- Italy Standard camouflages for Pz.III N, StuG III G, Pz.IV G (Desert).
Added links to the Marketplace for tradable vehicles and camouflages for latest events.

Aircraft model, damage model, characteristic and weaponry changes

UH-1B, UH-1C, UH-1C XM-30, UH-1D Fixed a bug where, when installing a suspended container with a 7.62 mm M134 Minigun machine gun, the block of machine gun barrels constantly rotated.
P-39N-0 fixed a bug that caused the weapon icon to be displayed as rockets + machine guns when installing the M8 outboard rockets.
FW 190 A-5/U2, Bf 110 (all modifications) added the possibility of a separate drop for 50 kg bombs (report).

Fleet model, damage model, characteristic and weaponry changes

USS Pensacola, USS Northampton, USS Portland and USS New Orleans fixed model names of main calibre turrets and their mounts.
Z32 increased maximum angles of rotation of the second and third main calibre turrets.

The current provided changelog reflects the major changes within the game as part of this Update. Some updates, additions and fixes may not be listed in the provided notes. War Thunder is constantly improving and specific fixes may be implemented without the client being updated.

Available DLCs

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.
