In this digest we would like to tell you about our continuing work on improvements and fixes in the game.
You can find information about all updates that have been released in War Thunder in the website special section. Please feel free to leave your feedback on these changes in the dedicated "It’s fixed!
№58" threadWho’s stronger?It’s nice to flex your muscles and compare achievements, but it’s even nicer to win such a competition! To make that easier for you, we’ve added the “Compare Gaijin.
Net Achievements” button right inside the Achievements tab. It allows you to check them out and compare your progress with any other player.
Also the “Trophies” section of the Achievements tab is now called “Gaijin.Net Achievements”.
Helpful UI ImprovementsA whole spectrum of improvements that will make your experience easier and more pleasant. Let’s keep it short and simple.
Among the Battle Pass rewards there are some prizes you can’t claim at the moment (for example, if you still haven’t claimed the previous prizes).
On their icons in the Battle Pass window there’s a lock, which now has become a button. Click on it to learn what you need to do to claim the prize.
The list of all titles and your progress in earning them can be found in the same window where you choose and set them up.
“Titles” and “Medals” sections have been removed from the Achievements tab: they were superfluous as they could be found elsewhere.
Finally, we’ve added a “Track progress” button in the player icon selection menu to keep an eye out for the icons you haven’t earned yet.
Working on SmokeThis mechanic saved lots of tankers from untimely demise, and thus deserves the highest attention. And there was something that needed fixing, too.
We’ve added a delay between separate salvos of smoke grenades. You’ve probably had this happen to you: one misclick, and you shoot this valuable resource out twice.
Well, that should no longer be a concern. We’ve also fixed a few errors.
One of them caused shooting a different number of smoke grenades in a volley than the one stated in the UI. Various different tanks were affected by it.
Another one caused more smoke grenades to be loaded into your vehicle on a capture point than its maximum capacity. More improvementsWe’re constantly improving all aspects of War Thunder.
The sounds of ground and air battles continues to be adjusted to avoid the appearance of "silent" vehicles.
the sequence of bomb drops for some aircraft has been clarified and the animations for the naval weaponry have been corrected.
