Keep track of the machine guns ammunition on the tanks

How much ammo is left in your machine gun? Now you will know it because we have added an ammunition indicator for ground vehicle machine guns. Above the shells icons you will see a bar that visually shows how much ammo you have left because it is useful to be able to gauge how much ammo you still have left to use. This bar will also come in handy when the ammo is nearing the end: it will show the progress of reloading. The number of remaining machine gun belts will be shown separately.

Coaxial machine guns are combined into one interface element and the anti-aircraft machine gun is displayed separately from them. Well, if you dont like this new feature for some reason you can easily disable it in the settings.

Blowout panels have been normalised

Imagine the situation: the turret is rotated perpendicular to the hull, the ammo rack in the rear cavity caught fire, the blowout panels go off. And somehow the fire spreads over the engine module and other modules. How can it come to this? It was a mistake that affected Leopards, Leclercs and a number of other vehicles. We have fixed it - no more unnecessary fires will occur.

Fixed the reload times for ships

On large ships we spotted a discrepancy: the crew card promised one time to reload main calibre guns but it actually turned out to be different! No more misinformation: the cannon reload times on the vehicle cards now match those in the battles. Everything is strictly according to the protocol!

Thats Not All

We are continuing to work on improving War Thunder. The pilots helmet visor will be properly reflected in the cockpit mirrors, the flames from the spigots will be visible even when the vertical sync is enabled and we have also fixed a few bugs related to the custom weaponry presets.

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.
