• The “Battle of the South Pacific“ mission from the historical campaign is now playable in RB mode again. The aircraft carrier can be destroyed.
  
• The camera will now only track shells if you have pressed and held the firing button on a loaded and ready to fire cannon. This way, shell tracking will not interfere with automatic cannon fire.
  
• A bug which would cause white foam to appear for a short period of time at the start of naval battles, or in the hangar, has been fixed.
  
• PC: improved OpenXR interaction (virtual reality headset) to allow a further decrease to the possibility of the client crashing and also to also improve performance on some hardware.
  
• Xbox: removed automatic target lock when pressing L2/LT in ground battles.

The current provided changelog reflects the major changes within the game as part of this Update. Some updates, additions and fixes may not be listed in the provided notes. War Thunder is constantly improving and specific fixes may be implemented without the client being updated.

From 12:00 GMT on the 1st of July until 07:00 GMT on the 3rd of July

Participate in 3 battles with an activity level of 60% or higher while using US and British vehicles of rank II and above and receive the unique “Canada Day” decal!



Each year, Canadians celebrate the anniversary of their nation becoming an independent confederation of the United Kingdom after the three separate British colonies of ‘Canada’, ‘Nova Scotia’, and ‘New Brunswick’ united to form a single dominion on 1 July 1867.

Often referred to as “Canada’s birthday”, and generally celebrated on the 1st of July (except when it would fall on a Sunday, in which case, it is observed on the 2nd of July) Canada Day marks an important milestone for the country on its way to full independence. While it, at that stage, remained a British colony, the subsequent increased level of political and governmental control allowed it to gain increasing independence in the following years, continuing up until it became completely independent in 1982.

Canada Day is celebrated across the country with various activities, including outdoor parades, carnivals, gatherings, festivals shows, concerts and fireworks. Now, it is time to participate in those celebrations in War Thunder!

• This task can be completed in random battles, except the “Enduring Confrontation” and [Assault] game modes.
  
• To follow your progress, click on “Your nickname” → Achievements → Canada Day.

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.


All updates and fixes in War Thunder now show after login on arrival in the hangar, like our major update changes! You won’t miss a single important update!

By the way, you're able to track all delivered updates by clicking the (?) icon in the hangar and proceed to the Updates history.




Some time ago we implemented “physically-accurate caterpillar tracks” where they responded in detail to external factors in War Thunder. At the same time the tracks on vehicles with new mechanics simply disappeared from the animation in the hit camera (although they were correctly taken into account in the penetration calculation).

We have corrected this unfortunate omission and now the new tracks will be correctly displayed in the hit camera.




You may have noticed that missiles fired by other players were behaving strangely in flight. They flew sideways or twitched strangely. This problem was purely a visual one. In reality the missiles behaved correctly and the bug didn't affect the hit probability or damage in any way.

We have corrected the behavior of guided missiles for the outside observer. Now the flight looks correct!




You know the main disadvantage of an IR seeker, right? Its favourite target is the sun to which they eagerly switch at every opportunity. Nevertheless this peculiarity should not appear if you just have looked at the sun through a pilot's eyes and not of the seeker itself.

This is exactly how the bug was manifested. It reproduced the capture signal if you looked through the freeview camera at the sun. A missile could be launched also in this case. We have fixed this strange behavior but we still don’t recommend looking at the sun directly - it hurts!


Recognizing the enemy in the gunner's crosshairs in Simulation Battles has been working for a long time. A few seconds of waiting and the gunner will tell you if there are allies at the specified coordinates.

Exactly the same mechanics were added to the new commander's sights which recently appeared in many vehicles. Similar functionality and just as high in usefulness. Take advantage of it.




In the “Red Skies” update we added a useful shell tracking feature for a ship’s cannons - for easier targeting to better understand shell ballistics and simply as a spectacular sight to see how your magnificent shot destroys the enemy.

In this digest we report that we have qualitatively improved certain aspects of camera behavior. It will now show the firing results more clearly and more widely and return “home” faster. Enjoy!


Missiles and other ordnance cards will now be displayed when you move your cursor over it, even if the modification itself hasn’t yet been researched or purchased. Useful if you haven’t yet thoroughly researched all the weapons present in War Thunder.


This time as always we have prepared a large number of useful fixes and game improvements. Be sure to read the full list of changes that we publish in a separate change log - there is a lot of interesting stuff there.

Once again, many thanks for all your bug reports that you submitted in our bug report section on the War Thunder forums.

The current provided changelog reflects the major changes within the game as part of this Update. Some updates, additions and fixes may not be listed in the provided notes. War Thunder is constantly improving and specific fixes may be implemented without the client being updated.

• Mi-28N, Ka-52 — S-13DF missile has been changed to S-13OF with the А-IX-2 explosives weight equal to 6.9 kg. An incorrect calculation of TNT equivalent required for striking armoured targets has been corrected that led to an ammunition type change for balance reasons.

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.




Often using a smoke screen is only the way to survive and it’s a shame if you find loopholes in it. Thanks to your bug reports we spotted one of them which appeared after the major update and allowed illumination of the outline of an enemy ground vehicle even through smoke in AB game mode.

It’s already fixed! Now the smoke will reliably hide your vehicle from detection as before and you can use it confidently!




This problem might have been observed by owners of the T-90A that has the “Shtora-1” system installed together with a night vision device. During the joint operation of a night vision device and a laser warning system in night battles at a certain angle, objects such as rocks and even pillboxes might disappear!

The “Shtira-1” is a great system that is worth researching on the T-90A but such an "X-ray" is not on the list of its legitimate features so we fixed the disappearance of objects. We are sure that this will not affect the effectiveness of the vehicle with its menacing look.




The next problem covers a much larger circle of tankers and manifests itself in a complete refusal to control your cannon when using 3rd person view. This unpleasant effect could be achieved by switching between different observation modes: binoculars, gunner view and commander view that appeared on many vehicles in the “Red Skies” update.

So now, we are bringing you back to full battle capability. The bug has been found and fixed!


In this update we fixed an annoying issue with the calculation of armour penetration in the cases of combined and layered armour when a projectile hits a joint of several plates, or in the area between ERA blocks. In reality, of course, ERA is not able to provide appropriate protection. But the issue was, that in such cases the calculated protection was even lower than those of passive armour behind the ERA elements. As a result, the upper front plate of many vehicles featured odd ‘gaps’ in small areas. The issue affected many vehicles with combined armour, especially Soviet MBTs. It’s fixed now! We’ve also fixed the armour penetration issue of HE rounds of small calibre, when their explosive parameters were obviously lower than the thickness of the armour at the hit point.


We’d like to share with you some really good news concerning an infrastructure change that improves the game’s stability and reduces required RAM resources. Recently, we moved to a new format for storing configuration files. This change saves up to 200 MB of RAM, which is especially important for consoles, as well as weaker PCs in long and intense gaming sessions




In some situations, a client might stop responding when leaving battle. Once again, thanks to your complete bug reports on our forums, we’ve managed to discover the reason and solve this issue. Thank you very much! Most fixes like this one are only possible thanks to your assistance with error reports.


For this digest we have prepared a large set of useful fixes and game improvements. Be sure to read the full list which we have prepared in the separate changelog - there are many interesting things.

Once again, many thanks for all your bug reports that you submitted in our bug report section on the War Thunder forums.

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.




If you suddenly forgot what characteristics a particular type of ammo has you can find out more about it right in battle by hovering over the shell icon in the action bar (list of ammunition and vehicle capabilities at the bottom of the screen).

In this update we have also added this handy card for rocket driven weapons on your armoured vehicles and ships. Additionally, you can find the amount in one salvo and the total ammunition amount for a vehicle on the indicator of smoke grenades. Try it out!


In a previously published It’s fixed! №2 we had fixed disappearing ground vehicles for aircraft at distances greater than 1 kilometer. But in some locations with difficult terrain the problem might sometimes be repeated.

Thanks to your reports, we found many such places and fixed the display of the vehicles in them.




In the rare night battles you definitely noticed the “drops” from command falling from the sky - flares that help to detect the enemy even if your vehicle doesn’t have a night vision device. But we noticed your comments that the illumination from these projectiles wasn’t enough for the entire battlefield which caused some problems, for example when driving from respawn points.

Accepted. New deliveries will use higher power illumination charges with a significantly larger illumination area from this update.




In the previous “It’s fixed” digest we described work on the logic of selecting the right gear for downhill and uphill gear change. Downhill was fine but in travelling uphill we could see some weird moves - the driver might try to shift into a higher gear which was wrong because the vehicle didn’t have enough power on such hills.

We have sent the drivers to the academy and now they will be better at selecting gear when going uphill on a regular incline.




You probably got used to the fact that switching to wep mode and leaving it in an aircraft is done by a short press of the increase or decrease thrust button. It is convenient and understandable. Unfortunately, this mechanism broke and switching to normal 100% thrust suddenly became difficult.

We put everything back the way it was. It is now easy again to switch WEP on and off with a short press on the thrust control button as before.


We continue on working to improve the performance in the game of VR headsets. This time we have fixed the double image in the mirrors of aircraft, the disappearance of some objects in the right lens of your headset and the vignette of the AGM-65 Maverick missiles, which wasn’t moving in the view.

We are continuing to work on fixing bugs in War Thunder VR mode and would like to thank all players who have reported issues to us they have found in VR mode.


For this digest we have prepared a large set of useful fixes and game improvements. Be sure to read the full list which we have prepared in the separate changelog - there are many interesting things.

Once again, many thanks for all your bug reports that you submitted in our bug report section on the War Thunder forums.
