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

Introducing Privacy mode!



There are many reasons why attention to your person may not be desirable. For example if you are a streamer and dont want to be stream-sniped. Or maybe you are just an active player with thousands of annoying fans? Now there is a solution to all of these problems in War Thunder! A whole range of functionality specifically for go into the shadow zone. Game settings Main parameters Privacy and Confidentiality In this menu you will find the settings which are related to your accessibility to the entire War Thunder community. The most noteworthy is the Show instead of nick function. The nickname shown in this window will replace your real nickname in all places where it can be displayed, but only for you. For an outsider, a random nickname of letters and numbers will be generated each time you are in the battle. The only thing that can be saved in your nickname is the squadron tag. Other settings are quite obvious and PC/Mac/Linux players with an active premium account can use the Privacy and Confidentiality. Play with comfort but remember even this feature will not allow you to escape from punishment for violating the game rules. Complaints against such players will come as before and on the server side and in the replays the real nickname will remain.

Top guns for the Ground AB pilots!



This change is something youve been asking for, for a long time. Aircraft for streak flights in the Ground Arcade battles sometimes might be inadequate in terms of flight and combat characteristics towards their opponents on the ground. Youve noticed that, weve noticed that, and now are happy to present updated aircraft and weapons for air combat in Ground AB. Now, starting from Battle rating 7.3, streak aircraft are much better suited to the BR of the battle, similarly with their armament. See the full list of vehicles available in the changelog for the update. Enjoy top guns both on the ground and in the air!

Helicopter PvE is getting better



While one of the more recent game modes is gaining steam, we continue to make it better. Youve reported instant start of the ground battles in close proximity to your helicopter, with AA guns running rampant immediately. These reports are now acted on. Now you will have time to regroup from a dangerous zone, since the AA guns and vehicles will not be firing at will at their spawn.

Joining session signal is back



When the game balancer is looking for a battle that suits you best, you may Alt+Tab the game window to cast an eye on something else. Some time ago, the join session signal disappeared, and players might find themselves on the battlefield when the fight is already raging. The annoying bug is located and immediately terminated for good. Hope now youll be ready for a battle in time.

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.

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.
  • Play together with your friends - Rich PvE content including historical and dynamic campaigns, solo missions, a mission editor and much more for single-player and cooperative gameplay.
  • Challenge the best of the best - Ever expanding tournament and clan battle systems, including ELO-based ranked matches as well as professionally organized events involving hundreds of players.
  • Theatrical beauty - Astonishing graphics, authentic sound effects and beautiful music creating an atmosphere to fully immerse yourself in.
