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


Polishing the Privacy mode



During the past week youve been trying out the new function that allows you to hide your nickname in battles and streams. Now its time to use your feedback as a basis for a few tweaks to the Privacy mode.

Some players didnt realise that Privacy mode was enabled as soon as you entered your fake nickname, so we reworked it into a simple toggle switch. You also dont have to think of a fake nickname anymore now when you enable Privacy mode your name will be simply shown as Player.

When watching a client-side or server-side replay, both your nicknames will be shown: Player and your real one in brackets.


Centurion Tanks Now Turn Faster



Over a dozen vehicles from the Centurion family are now much more agile when turning in place. Just as we did it with Shermans recently.

You can try it out already for yourself.


Eyes Wide Open



Weve already implemented such a change in War Thunder, but back then it affected vehicles ranked V to VII. Now were doing the same thing: adjusting the size of view angle limitation for ground vehicle gunners, but this time its for vehicles ranked I to IV. To keep gunners comfortable, we have increased the field of view to match the reserve vehicles such as Pz.IIIE and BT-5.
