War Thunder Fixed! #41

Published by 16 Feb, 2022 0 likes

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 on the website special section.

Optimised display for the event labels

We are talking about the labels on icons with the vehicles for special tasks that are currently available. We implemented them in one of the previous updates and are now improving them based on your feedback.

The label on the “Research” button and one on the armies tab will be hidden if you read the special task in your profile window. You can open it simply by clicking on the tag hanging above the vehicle icon.

Added a preview for Battle Pass rewards

Interesting and unique rewards are the reason why we perform Battle Pass tasks. But previously you could only see the rewards from the images in the news and the little icons in the rewards feed of the Battle Pass. You asked us to improve this part of the interface and we did!

The “preview” button has appeared right in the Battle Pass feed on all important rewards: vehicles, camouflages, decorations and decals. Click and view all the things you can soon own.

Reduced control inertia on some vehicles

The following vehicles are on the list: 3 tanks from the BT series - BT-7, BT-7М, BT-7A (F-32) and also the Strv m/31 and the Tetrarch I. The problem manifested itself on all these machines in the same way: straight-line movement after a sharp turn was restored slowly and reluctantly. Although experienced tankers learned to compensate for this behaviour by turning the steering the opposite way, it was still a bug that we have fixed now.

If you know about any other vehicles with the same behaviour - we would be grateful for a bug report.
