Lasers and Bombs

The most popular report we've been getting from you recently concerned laser designators on the Q-5L and Harrier Gr.7 attack aircraft. These aircraft had two sensors: one installed by default, and the second one on the targeting pod. The sensor on the nose of the aircraft is narrow-angle and cannot look backwards. Due to an error, when using third person view, the sensor on the targeting pod was ignored in favor of the frontal sensor, and that caused laser designation to break when the aircraft passed over the target, rendering guided bombs useless. Now the sensors work as intended bombs away!

A Bit Less Chaos

Hull guns on ground vehicles function only within the confines of their targeting angles that are usually quite limited. So if your vehicle moves its turret to the side, hull guns cant follow it and stop their firing. Well, thats what actually happened, but thats not how it looked for everyone else. Other players saw your vehicle as shooting from all guns into multiple directions! No need for extra chaos on the battlefield: now hull guns will be silent outside of their targeting angles both for you and for others.

Dont Look Up!

This error was well known for a long time, but its cause kept evading us. Now its time has finally come! The problem concerned naval battles: each swap between first person and third person views slightly shifted the sights upwards, making the shells fly farther. It wont happen again: the sights will remain in place, and your shots will hit the mark!

Thats Not All

You can find the full list of improvements in a separate patch note, dont forget to check it out! Sturmtiger had its gun elevation and horizontal targeting angles increased, SANTAL can now research Airstrike and Improved optics modifications, USS Gearing no longer gets an inflated number of torpedoes, and the helicopter gunners sight now always displays the correct distance.

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.
