[quote]Please feel free to leave your feedback on these changes in the dedicated "Its fixed! 57" thread[/quote]

Like clockwork

We strive to make the game as stable as possible. On some PC configurations the image would freeze after a few battles even though FPS remained normal. We have been looking for this bug ever since we received your reports about it but it turned out to be a difficult one: it took us quite a while to figure out the root of the issue and then to fix it. But we handled it! These freezes are a thing of the past - the game should now run smoothly and without delays.

Reduced fire

In general fire is good, especially if the game is about shots and explosions, but it must also be in moderation. On anti-aircraft machine guns in some ground vehicles this rule actually failed and as a result the flashes of the shots simply began to block the view when shooting through an anti-aircraft sight. It was a bug. We removed these flares and left the tracers on a lot of vehicles with anti-aircraft machine guns and autocannons.

Fixed the Infra-red Search and Tracking systems

We are not talking about thermal imaging but about a more specific system. Some SAMs are equipped with a capture and tracking mechanism that is oriented on the thermal trail on an air target. Aircraft in turn can shoot off flares. But some aircraft and helicopters have variants of flares in the form of dipole reflectors - thin strips of metallized foil designed to deceive guidance and tracking systems of very different types. Thats what dipole reflectors were distracting the IRST systems which wasnt right at all. Now we have done it the scientific way. Now only enemy flares can interfere with the mechanism.

Fixed the ballistic calculator

A ballistic calculator helps a pilot to display the predicted location of the shells drops for example on aircraft cannons. Due to the bug, the marker of the calculator was displayed behind the aircraft. This bug has been fixed and now the marker operates correctly. By the way - or aircraft with different offensive cannons and machine guns, pilots often use the option Vertical targeting of the weaponry that changes the aiming for some weapons and allows you to fire at a single point differently with the weight and calibre of shells at a specified distance for effective fire. Now the ballistic calculator marker more accurately indicates the point of impact even with the vertical targeting option turned on.

More improvements

Were constantly improving all aspects of War Thunder. The sounds of ground and air battles continues to be adjusted to avoid the appearance of "silent" vehicles. the sequence of bomb drops for some aircraft has been clarified and the animations for the naval weaponry have been corrected. Be sure to read the full list of improvements! 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.
