We keep on working on improvements and fixes for War Thunder, and in this digest wed like to tell you about the most prominent recent changes to the game.

[quote]Please feel free to leave your feedback on these changes in the dedicated "Its fixed! 61" thread[/quote]

Laser Aiming

We listen closely to the feedback you leave us. Thanks to your comments weve added a new feature to several SPAAGs: from SIDAM 25 to M247. Now the range measured with the laser rangefinder will be automatically input into your sights. Aim with comfort!

Leopard, Behave!

Another fix weve made thanks to your feedback is related to the medium tank, the Leopard 2K. When its machine gun ammunition was hit, it did not disappear. That was an error, and weve fixed it.

Reworked decals

The decals tab in the player profile has been radically reworked. Now you can find all the necessary information and possible actions in a single window. You can check out the preview and description of the decal and learn of a way to earn it. decals that you havent received yet are now shown in full colour, but with a lock icon: in their case you can start tracking the unlock progress, or just purchase them outright. For the decals that you already have youll find an option to apply them to a selected vehicle in the hangar, for the collectable ones to check out the collections, and for marketable ones to search and activate a coupon. Everything you ever wanted, all in one place. Since all the features related to decals are now available in the player profile, we will soon remove the decals from the Achievements menu.

Thats Not All

We are continuing to work on improving War Thunder. The blowout panels have been fixed for even more tanks, the achievement comparison button now works properly, and in VR the weapons lock indicator is no longer tied to the head movements.

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.

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.
