Its fixed! 59

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.

[quote]Please feel free to leave your feedback on these changes in the dedicated "Its fixed! 59" thread[/quote]

Improved the Visibility of Decals and Decorations

We continue working on the UI to make it even more handy and helpful. This time weve changed the look of the achievements that grant you decals and decorations. Previously, icons of customization elements that you didnt have were darkened, and that made them less readable. In the new UI iteration the items that havent been unlocked yet will have icons of locks on them. The keys to those locks are your battle merits.

Polished the VR Experience

Weve fixed a few errors that occurred when playing War Thunder in VR headsets. If youve encountered black lines on the sides rest assured, you wont see them again. Tank sights now show correctly. And finally, weve increased the field of view in the gunners sights when turning the gun of the vehicle: after all, in a virtual reality headset you especially need an ability to look around.

From Dusk till Dawn

If youve played an air mission during dusk, you may have stumbled upon a weird sight where the ground darkened instantly, even though the sky was still bright. Youve guessed right: such an occurrence was an error that felt wrong and got in the way of admiring the landscapes. Weve fixed it! Now the battles during dawn and dusk will look as romantic as they should.

Burn Brighter!

Incendiary bombs are now even more useful! The damage that bombing bases take from a flame mixture was notably increased, and now incendiary bombs are more effective than HE bombs. After all, flame mixture is supposed to work on buildings much better than on vehicles. 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.
