Its fixed! 22 + Update 2.9.0.33

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.

Returning fragments with penetration

They could indeed disappear if a volumetric shell pierced the intersection of three or four armour parts. The problem occurred rather rarely but has nevertheless been fixed. Good luck hitting your targets!

Improving FPS and increasing stability

Improved FPS since the Direct Hit update, improved game stability and we continue to do so! A fatal client crash after a long game on PlayStation 4 has been fixed. But we wanted to remind you of one more important detail - an updated GPU driver on your PC is key to a stable FPS and client stability and every War Thunder player can do it.

You can find the latest driver for Nvidia here.
You can find the latest driver for AMD here.

The commander was drawn to the east

There's no other way to explain why when you switched from the commander's sight to the good old binoculars, their gaze was always directed to the East. This bug was very recent, but you reported it to us in a timely manner. Fixed!

If you don't need Automatic target lock...

...you can turn it off. This is regarding Naval Battles, where target capture could still happen if the target was very close to the aiming marker. Now if you disable this feature, it will indeed be completely disabled. Thanks for your bug reports. We have also fixed incorrect (inverted) mouse wheel movement when adjusting the distance when the target was very close.

MLRS crosshairs tuned

Remember our devblog about rockets and missile ballistic changes? Multiple Launch Rocket Systems have been updated and adjusted crosshairs. Its time for you to become a rocket sniper!

Weeds back!

Hey, hey, easy... for Linux only. Some time ago, grass disappeared from all graphic presets on the Linux platform, and players had to turn it on manually. Rejoice, Linux people! The weed is back!

More improvements

For this digest we have prepared a large set of useful fixes and game improvements. Be sure to read the full list which we have prepared in the separate changelog - there are many interesting things. Once again, many thanks for all your bug reports that you submitted in our bug report section on the War Thunder forums.

Update 2.9.0.33

Improvements and fixes

A bug has been fixed when, if a voluminous shell hits a cross section area of 3 or 4 armoured elements, a shell didnt form fragments after penetrating the armour.
A bug has been fixed where, when switching from commanders sight to binoculars with Save direction while switching current trigger option enabled, the view in binoculars was directed to the east.
A bug has been fixed that resulted in locking on enemies nearby the selected one with the Automatic target lock option enabled in Naval battles.
A bug has been fixed that resulted in incorrect range correction at nearer distances in Naval battles: rotating down in some cases increased correction, rotating up decreased it.
A bug has been fixed with missing grass on any graphic presets available on the Linux version.

Ground vehicle model, damage model, characteristic and weaponry changes:

Chieftain Mk.10, Striker - Late two tone camo is now available for completing tasks, similar to other later British ground vehicles.
ZSU-37-2 - NVD has been added for driver and commander.

MLRS sight crosshairs have been specified after changes to the ballistic characteristics of rockets (devblog)

Fleet model, damage model, characteristic and weaponry changes

Clemson type destroyers - AI shooting at aerial targets has been fixed. Parameters of the remote fuse for the 76mm HE remote fuse rounds have been corrected.
HMS Armada, HMAS Tobruk - a bug has been fixed where 40mm mountings remained at maximum elevation.

Flight model changes

AH-1z - improved throttle response and revs recovery with increasing propeller pitch.
Scout AH.Mk.1, Wasp HAS.Mk.1 - the roll has been fixed when increasing speed in arcade battles
Do 217 (all series) - a bug has been fixed with incorrect position of wheels on the front landing gear.
Tu-1 - a bug with incorrect fuel loading has been fixed.
MiG-23, MiG-27 - a dead zone in the yaw channel has been reduced when the automatic controls system is operating in the stabilization or damping mode

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.
