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.

Updated respawn point marker

This improvement is based on a wish you left under one of previous digests. Even something as small as choosing a respawn point can be made better. So we have done it. Aircraft, ground and naval point markers are now much more distinct against any background and the point selected from those available is clearly distinguishable from neighbouring points. It just got so much better.

Continuing to add to weaponry cards

Know everything about your weaponry! We have already expanded the set of available data in the ammunition and missile cards several times. Now you even have a visual animation of how different ammo works, but it can be even better! This time we have added such characteristics as time of guided flight interference immunity in the optical channel of ATGM and guaranteed launch range of an ATGM ((the range achievable by an ATGM under any acceptable atmospheric conditions) to the rocket's card. Also for the ATGMs mounted to ground vehicles we have added the display of information on the presence of a laser-beam control channel. Not unnecessary data for your battle effectiveness.

Fixing the sight in duplicate mode

If you have high rank ground vehicles, you are definitely familiar with the capabilities of the commander sights and the benefits their fire control system provides. Amongst them is the duplicate control mode that allows you to fire using commanders sight. Unfortunately due to a mistake when switching to the commander's sight and activating the dual control, the sight crosshair may have shifted to the right in some cases. We have fixed this bug as quickly as possible and now everything works like clockwork. Enjoy the bonuses on modern vehicles.

Vehicle service: Stage 2

We continue to work on the maintenance of the many different vehicles in the game. This time we returned the missing pressure damage for TAM 2IP, clarified the description of the combined armour on the T-64B and all modifications of the T-72 and also fixed many visual bugs and errors in the installation of the modifications of aircraft and ground vehicles. We will not list them all but just invite you to visit the full list of changes - you should look there at all times.

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.

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.
