In this digest we would like to tell you about our continuing work on improvements and fixes in the game. [quote]Please feel free to leave your feedback on these changes in the dedicated "Its fixed! 53" thread[/quote]

Gotta collect them all!

Reward loading screens are a picturesque gallery along your war path. Previously, you were able only to choose from any achieved loading screens, having little idea which are available to you. Its fixed! In the loading screens menu you are now able to toggle both achieved and available screens. To track your progress in achieving the loading screen you want, just add it in the Favourites.

Naval hit camera has been improved

The hit camera in naval battles is probably even more important than in ground battles. It allows you to visualise any damage and the actual condition of the enemy vessel. We have tuned the camera to make it more comfortable to devastate your enemies at sea. Zoom-in on the hit is now reduced, the camera flies smoothly and zooms out after showing the detailed damage to present you a whole picture of your enemy. Also, we have fixed the incorrect display of the enemy crew in the hit camera. Enjoy!

Re-animation

In the Danger Zone update we reworked the animation system, which unfortunately caused a few visual issues. At the moment, we continue to fix the bugs, and have completed many of them. Over 30 aircraft, such as Wellington, Su-8, SBD-3 and Ki-84, have their fixes of the flaps, air brakes, and rudders for the third-person view. On the next stage, we will fix a number of the cockpit view issues.

Afford more napalm

Napalm has gotten cheaper! Incendiary bombs now calculates aside from other types of weapons and costs 3-10% from the carrier aircrafts RP cost. Making it simple, you may complete your weapon setup with napalm bombs for a lower RP cost.

Helicopter missiles seeker fixed

Recently, air-to-air lock-on got broken on the helicopters, and players were unable to see the acquisition marker. Thanks to your reports, the issue is located and terminated. Thank you!

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.
