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!

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.
