Its fixed! 55

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! 55" thread[/quote]

Correct Crew Replacement

This important fix is relevant for every tanker! Theres a general crew rule in War Thunder: the primary gunner and the driver must be conscious for the vehicle to remain ready for combat. Except for several vehicles that have dual control and targeting systems, theres a rule in place that regulates how crew members replace their incapacitated comrades: secondary gunner, radio operator -> commander -> loader -> primary gunner -> driver. This rule didnt work properly in some cases. For example, when a commander and a loader were knocked out consecutively, the radio operator in your crew could take the place of the commander, and not the loader, as the rule dictates. Weve fixed these errors.

Alternating Shots from Different Guns on Anti-aircraft Vehicles

Weve corrected the work of the Gast guns on the SPAAG 2S6. Added alternating fire for 30mm guns of the 2A38 now they will fire in alternation in accordance with their prototype. Alternating fire has also been added to the 40mm M2 guns on the SPAAGs M19 and M42. This is a nice change that will raise the density of fire and the chance of hitting aerial targets.

Destroyed Barrels Are Gone

It was a simple error, but also an eyesore in the most literal sense. In some cases a destroyed barrel was still being displayed in the sights, covering the view. Now this shouldn't be a problem anymore.

Fixed Visual Artefacts in Battles

Now blinking details like tank tracks or other vehicle parts wont annoy you anymore: weve uncovered the root of this problem and fixed it!

Fixed Binoculars in Free Look

Heres the gist of the error: after enabling free look and switching to binoculars, your commander was facing the same direction as your gun. Youve notified us of this inconvenience, and weve fixed the logic of this mechanic. Now when you enable binoculars in free look mode, the commander will face the same way as your camera.

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.
