Participate in events related to Korean War: "Black Thursday" - A historical event on Korean Map V Rank - 5 Jets and Ground Forces Tournaments

Pilots, the time has come to prove your skill in controlling the highest class of aircraft available in War Thunder! Join in with this weekend’s “Black Thursday” event to engage in jet warfare over Korea!

Black Thursday is the nickname given by USAF pilots to a a Korean War event which took place in the famous ‘MiG Alley’, in which Soviet MiG-15 jets attacked B-29 Superfortress aircraft during a bombing mission over Korea.

MiG-15s curving in to attack USAF B-29s


MiG Alley, as the region is referred to by United Nations pilots, is a portion of North Korea which was the site of numerous dogfights between UN and North Korean forces. Nations allied with North Korea also took part in the air battles of this region, including airmen from the People’s Republic of China and the Soviet Union. The term “MiG” in this region’s nickname is a reference to the Soviet built Mikoyan-Gurevich MiG-15 aircraft which were predominantly used during most of the conflict. This site is known to have been host to the world’s first large scale jet-vs-jet air battles, as MiG-15’s clashed with jets such as the North American F-86 Sabre.

On the 12th of April, 1951, three MiG-15 squadrons, with a total of 30 aircraft, attacked a group of B-29 Superfortress bombers of the USAF, and following the events which took place during this attack, pilots from the USAF began referring to this date as “Black Thursday”. The B-29 aircraft were under the protection of about 100 F-80 Shooting Star’s and F-84 Thunderjet’s. Despite being clearly outnumbered, the pilots of the MiG-15’s were able to fly past their non-swept wing foes, and engage the B-29s. In total, three were shot down, and 7 were damaged, and the Soviet side had been able to accomplish this without any casualties. Following this event, US sorties in the region were halted for a period of about 3 months. Night missions, using small groups of bomber aircraft, continued after this, as daylight attacks on Korea were discontinued.

I pushed out a new version with some new features and fixes.


Features

• Game-only mode for slower computers and easily-distracted gamers.
  
• Graphic quality slider
  
• Toggle for high-quality monitor light which is currently CPU-intensive. I'll be looking into ways to create the same or a similar effect with more focus on the GPU. Unity doesn't allow color light cookies, so I'm finding a rough estimate of the average screen color in a script every 10 frames, which can still be rough on slower computers. I recommend turning this option off for now on low-end computers and laptops.
  
• Confirm/cancel buttons for the resolution change window. (Currently, yoyo confirms, cancel cancels)
  
• Added a workaround for a unity bug that occurs on OpenGL platforms that renders render textures (such as the one used for the arcade monitor) as completely black in preparation for the OSX and Linux releases.
  
• Added a "view high scores" button to the pause menu. High scores are being posted to the community on the current version, but must be accessed by manually.
  
• Camera lock option.
  
• Somebody forgot to clean the monitor.

Fixes

• Otter should no longer get stuck in an animation when winning the level while eating the gator.

• OSX release, and maybe Linux. I need a Linux or SteamOS installation to test with to be sure it works, first.
  
• Oculus Rift DK2 VR support: this was working, but video settings panel broke it. I'm looking into fixing this next week. The final version will use SteamVR and support multiple VR headsets.
  
• Free look optimizations, including dead zones for super sensitive mice and fixes for the sudden view changes while moving the view during lock-ups and while opening the menu.
  
• EmuL8TR mode, for the modern arcade enthusiast! Play the game in full screen directly on your monitor, no quarters required.

• Switching to some fullscreen resolutions on some computers minimizes the game. I'd suggest playing at native resolution if you want to play full-screen until I can find a fix for this, but there seems to be no way to know which resolutions will cause this. If this happens to you, wait 10 seconds and click back into the window and the game should revert you to your previous resolution.
  
• The gator can get stuck on stage 2 if you are underneath him on the first floor on the left near the "thru" sign.
  
• Steam may say you're still playing the game after quitting, which will prevent you from launching the game again after quitting. I'm looking into this, but for now restarting Steam will fix this.

I'll be posting more announcements like this with upcoming features and fixes. If you find any issues, be sure to report them on the community discussion boards. Suggestions are also welcome.
