In this digest we would like to tell you about our continuing work on improvements and fixes in the game.

Better buoyancy in Arcade battles

Every installed modification on your ship makes her better, however some of them might not work in Arcade battles. We have fixed a bug that prevented some seakeeping modifications from their effect, such as Dry docking, Rudder replacement, Propeller replacement, Engine maintenance.. Thanks to your reports we managed to localise and fix the bug.

CCRP gets fixed

The ballistic calculator with the CCRP (Constantly Computed Release Point) mode provides much help for pilots of modern aircraft. Unfortunately, there were few bugs with that system. For example, the release area might be activated by itself just by launching a missile, or it could not be turned off after locking on an aerial target. Both bugs are locked on and destroyed. To learn more about your vehicle equipment, including the ballistic calculator, make sure to visit the War Thunder Wiki often!

Low-res landscape fix

Our in-house built Dagor graphic engine gets better over and over again! Have you encountered an issue where distant surfaces might turn black on low resolution graphic settings? This one is fixed now!

Chinese optics

Chinese components have become better again. We have increased the magnification of the Chinese sights for some MBTs. Four up-to-date Chinese tanks - ZTZ96A, ZTZ96A (P), ZTZ99-II and ZTZ99-III - get improved optics, from fixed 8x to variable 6x-11x. Players did an awesome job compiling data from various sources to make it happen. Thank you! Shoot sharp!

More improvements

For this digest we have prepared a large set of useful fixes and game improvements. Be sure to read the full list below - there are many interesting things. Once again, many thanks for all your bug reports that you submitted using our special service.

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.
