Get back!

Numerous vehicles have a few reverse transmissions, and weve added automatic transmissions in War Thunder to make controlling them more comfortable. Turns out, it didnt work exactly as intended and could get in the way of your hasty retreat from a dangerous position. When moving directly backwards, the Automatic Transmission worked correctly, but if you tried to turn your vehicle, it changed to the first reverse transmission gear! An issue with reverse movement also arose if the wheels of your vehicle were completely turned to one side. Now automatic transmission uses all the power of your vehicle in several cases the speed of turning in reverse increased up to two times!

Weigh up!

Many players in mid ranks try to max out suspended weaponry of their aircraft. We found a way to make it more comfortable for them! Now each weapon in the editor of the suspended weaponry will display its weight as will the entire preset. Youll be able to compare your current weight against the maximum or check how much youve exceeded the limit if you did. Have fun experimenting with different sets of explosive cargo!

Fly high!

Weve noticed that the air-to-surface missile AGM-65 cant reach its maximum range unless its launched from a very high altitude. The reason was simple: to reach that range, the missile has to loft, and it just couldnt. Well, we taught it its signature move! Now, AIM-54 actually could loft, but there was a catch: when pulling up, it could hit the aircraft it was launched from. We fixed that, and increased seeker warm-up angles and guidance equipment operational time. Autopilot of the L-UMTAS and Mokopa missiles werent functioning well enough on short and very long distances. It happened because they worked in relay mode, when the fins were constantly being switched from minimum to maximum, and the flight trajectory was determined by the time they spent in each position. Now the autopilot works in proportional mode, and that allows it to follow the set trajectory more precisely. Lastly, weve almost doubled the maximum permissible overload of 9M331, the missile of the Torus. All listed missiles have received improvements to their dynamics and autopilot. Use them well!

Thats Not All

Youll find the full list of improvements in the separate changelog there are many interesting things there. Weapon selector no longer prevents the camera from following the falling bombs or torpedoes, the position of the propeller of the aircraft now stays the same regardless of your point of view, and the parameters of dropping bombs now longer apply to other helicopter weaponry. 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.
