Its Fixed! 87
In the battles of War Thunder, not only does every second count, but even a split second is enough to decide the outcome of a situation. Thats why a stable frame rate is so important, especially when flying an aircraft over a tank battlefield. It was precisely in this situation that the game could freeze up: in ground battles, when flying over a cluster of ground vehicles, an aircraft pilots screen sometimes froze for about a second, or even longer in some cases. This could cause an aircraft to lose control and crash. Weve found the root cause of this problem and have fixed it.
Weve received many reports from you that active scouting did not work as it should. In Ground Realistic Battles, enemy vehicles were not scouted at a noticeable distance, even if the target was directly in the crosshairs of the gun sight or binoculars: it was not marked as scouted. Not only did we fix this problem, we continued to improve the logic of active scouting. Another improvement concerns rewards for scouting. If a player has already shot at an enemy before you scouted and then destroyed them, then the game has nothing to reward you for, since another player successfully detected that enemy themselves. Therefore in this situation, youll be given a reward Not by intelligence. Its less valuable, meaning youll not receive an increase in air strike and artillery points (in Ground Arcade), and a reduction in the cost of spawn points for aircraft (Ground Realistic).
Weve improved the HUD in the Battle ground gamemode, to make the goals and objectives of each team clearer. Weve removed the team points bar in favor of a more readable display of the number of destroyed vehicles to win and the current number for each team. Under this indicator you can now also see a timer, where when this runs out, the team that has destroyed the most enemy vehicles wins.
Targeting pods and built-in optics for high-ranking aircraft help in detecting ground targets and ensure the use of weapons at ranges comparable to the engagement ranges of air defense systems at similar Battle Ratings. However, due to an error in applying the angular dimensions of targets with the detection range through sights, these ranges were noticeably less than those necessary for small targets. This meant that for small vehicles like the Swedish Lvrbv 701, the maximum range at which it could be detected in a sight or targeting pod was about 8 km. Now, after fixing this issue, its detection range is over 20 km, and for larger vehicles, even more.
The full list of improvements can be found in each update note! Lets go through a few: stabilizers no longer allow you to increase the turret rotation speed, creating a new preset no longer leads to the gamemode changing, and the penetration values of shells are now again visible in the stat cards of all vehicles.

FPS freezes have been focused on and fixed

Today's update: Update 2.33.0.130
Ground Vehicles
- A bug where the selection of machine guns and cannons did not function correctly has been fixed.
- Ka-Chi incorrect placement of decorations when the pontoons were removed has been fixed.
- Ariete incorrect placement of decorations when the War Kit modification was removed has been fixed.
- Missing armor penetration values on the stat cards of some vehicles has been fixed. (Report)
- Incorrect operation of the stabilizer, which allowed the player to increase aiming speed and turret rotation has been fixed.
- The animation of tracks on destroyed armor vehicles when they are being towed has been removed.
- Ratel 20 a bug causing no separate ATGM sight to be present has been fixed. (Report)
Aircraft
- A bug with the radar on the F-14 where in Track While Scan mode, the radar could switch between targets, which made it difficult to launch AIM-54 missiles has been fixed.
- A21A-3 a bug that caused the wrong order of bomb drops has been fixed.
- All airborne radars with BVR mode now have a target tracking prolongation time of 3 seconds.
- ACM and HMD radar modes range for F-16A/D (all variants), AV-8B Plus (Italy), Mirage 2000 (all variants) and J-8F was increased to 10 NM.
Naval Vessels
- The inability to activate a tow rope has been fixed.
Game Mechanics
- A bug where in some cases in Ground Realistic Battles, active scouting did not work, despite the fact that the target was in the crosshairs of the scouts sight or binoculars has been fixed.
- In Ground Arcade and Realistic battles, when a scouted target is destroyed by a player who attacked it within 60 seconds before the scouting, the scout is now always given a Not by intelligence reward. This also means that the scout will not receive an increase in air strike and artillery points (in Ground Arcade), and a reduction in the cost of spawn points for aircraft (Ground Realistic).
- A bug in Ground Arcade battles when destroying a scouted target from an aircraft, the reward Not by intelligence was always given, without taking into account whether the player had seen the target before the scouting or not has been fixed.
Graphics
- A bug that led to FPS drops in Naval Battles due to the display of damage in the hit camera has been fixed.
- Critical FPS drops (freezes) when flying over tank areas have been fixed.
Interface
- A new HUD for the Battle ground mode has been added. Instead of a bar of team points, it shows the number of destroyed vehicles required for an instant victory, as well as the current number for each team. It also includes a mission timer, after which victory is awarded to the team with the most kills. The logic of the mission has not changed, but has just become more clear.
- A bug where crew slots were hidden when the crew window was open due to a larger interface scale has been fixed.
- A bug that caused the game mode to change when creating a new vehicle preset has been fixed.
- A bug where a squad invitation was not shown in the chat has been fixed.
- The text color in the skill bonus tooltip in the statistics window has been changed for better readability.

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.
