In this digest we would like to tell you about our continuing work on improvements and fixes in the game. You can find information about all updates that have been released in War Thunder in the website special section.

Whos stronger?

Its nice to flex your muscles and compare achievements, but its even nicer to win such a competition! To make that easier for you, weve added the Compare Gaijin.Net Achievements button right inside the Achievements tab. It allows you to check them out and compare your progress with any other player. Also the Trophies section of the Achievements tab is now called Gaijin.Net Achievements.

Helpful UI Improvements

A whole spectrum of improvements that will make your experience easier and more pleasant. Lets keep it short and simple. Among the Battle Pass rewards there are some prizes you cant claim at the moment (for example, if you still havent claimed the previous prizes). On their icons in the Battle Pass window theres a lock, which now has become a button. Click on it to learn what you need to do to claim the prize. The list of all titles and your progress in earning them can be found in the same window where you choose and set them up. Titles and Medals sections have been removed from the Achievements tab: they were superfluous as they could be found elsewhere. Finally, weve added a Track progress button in the player icon selection menu to keep an eye out for the icons you havent earned yet.

Working on Smoke

This mechanic saved lots of tankers from untimely demise, and thus deserves the highest attention. And there was something that needed fixing, too. Weve added a delay between separate salvos of smoke grenades. Youve probably had this happen to you: one misclick, and you shoot this valuable resource out twice. Well, that should no longer be a concern. Weve also fixed a few errors. One of them caused shooting a different number of smoke grenades in a volley than the one stated in the UI. Various different tanks were affected by it. Another one caused more smoke grenades to be loaded into your vehicle on a capture point than its maximum capacity.

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.

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.
