• For airborne radar antenna, manual tilt control is available by using the "Radar/IRST tilt control axis" control axis. If the radar antenna has pitch stabilisation it will keep elevation angle relative to the horizon regardless of ownership manoeuvres.
  
  • Antenna manual tilt control allows players to search targets above and below without manoeuvres such as climbing or diving.
    
  • To use antenna manual tilt control, the "Constant elevation of radar antenna" option must be disabled. Otherwise, the antenna behaviour will be the same as before - the centreline of the scan zone in elevation will have fixed position relative ownership nose.
• Scan zone centreline in azimuth for radars of F-14A, JA37, Mirage 3E, MiG-23M/MF/MLD/MLA, F-4EJ KAI, AH-64D and Ka-52 is controlled by "Horizontal Radar/IRST target cue control axis" axis regardless of "Targets cyclic switching of ground radar" option.
  
• For F-14A and JA37 radars in TWS mode, the scan zone centreline always tracks the selected target.
  
• For F-14A and JA37 radars in TWS mode if "Targets cyclic switching of ground radar" option is disabled, the target selection cursor is stuck to the selected target as long as it is not moved away by "Horizontal Radar/IRST target cue control axis" or "Vertical Radar/IRST target cue control axis" axes.
  
• For F-14A radar switching between two ACM modes: VSL and BST has been moved from "Change radar mode" to "Change radar search mode" command.
  
• For F-14A radar in ACM modes (BST and VSL) and in tracking mode TRK it is possible to switch between pulse and pulse doppler modes. This doesn’t change search mode (SRC PD, TWS, SRC PDV, SRC) anymore.
  
• Target appearance on radar range-finder indicator has been fixed.

The Type 74 was only the second tank created in post-war Japan. But it was made well: the first model was produced in 1975, but thanks to new modifications, it remained in use for many years. G is the ultimate modification of Type 74, and also the final.

Why? It’s all about the money: state of the art equipment costs a fortune. Judge by yourselves: a powerful 720 HP engine, side skirts, a thermal imaging system, and a laser rangefinder!

But the coolest feature of the Type 74 G is the hydropneumatic suspension. Thanks to it and the two-plane stabilized gun this tank is well suited for a sniper role: carefully peek from cover just enough to make an accurate shot.

Type 74 G is also great at defense using the “shoot and hide to reload” tactic. Use the high mobility and accuracy of your tank to take care of the enemy before they even notice you and have a chance to counterattack!

A fully armored WWII self-propelled gun equipped with a 75mm cannon and rocket launchers! A special Hungarian exotic for the special event in War Thunder.


Features:

• Effective chambered AP rounds
  
• Low profile
  
• Roofed combat compartment
  
• 6 rockets

The Hungarian Zrínyi I self-propelled artillery gun will be the first prize of the Summer Quest marathon and will appear at rank III in the lineup of the Italian armored vehicles. The self-propelled gun was developed under the significant influence of the German StuGs, and this modification was created specifically to combat armored vehicles. The vehicle is well protected, and the roof of the combat compartment protects the crew from machine guns and aircraft autocannons. The 75mm Hungarian-made cannon is mounted in a ball mount at the front of the SPG and has a fairly good decline angle. The cannon fires several types of rounds, including HEAT and chambered armor-piercing shells, the latter being capable of penetrating more than 140mm of armor at close range.





The highlight of this already excellent self-propelled gun is the six-tubed rocket launcher, arranged by three along the sides of the vehicle's hull at the rear. "Zrínyi" takes into battle 6 rockets with a high-explosive fragmentation warhead. Rockets will come in very handy for destroying or damaging die-hard enemies, groups of enemies, or light tanks in shelters.





Tough, well-armed and quite mobile, the Zrínyi I self-propelled gun will be a great addition to the Italian III-IV rank setup in any game mode. An exotic vehicle will bring dozens of frags to commanders in War Thunder online battles - get this self-propelled gun for free just by playing the game and completing tasks of the summer marathon!

Welcome to the War Thunder Summer Quest! This time, the event will take place in a new format: all you need to get prizes is just to earn mission points! Basically any activity in battle will get you closer to the rewards.

The number of tasks you need to complete to get the top vehicles immediately to your account is now smaller, but if you want to trade coupons on the market, you will need an additional upgrade that requires a little more effort to obtain.

For each completed task you will get a specific prize: a trophy with useful items, coupons for decals, camouflages for the event vehicles, player icons or decorations. Low ranked vehicles this time will be represented only by a tank but in future marathons we plan to alternate vehicle types for this prize.

See you on the battlefield!

From 11:00 GMT on the 9th of August until 11:00 GMT on the 29th of August

To get one Mark of distinction for a tanker/pilot/sailor, earn 40,000 mission points in random battles from rank III and higher (from rank I for event vehicles) on the corresponding vehicle type in the corresponding game mode. Points multiplier that varies based on vehicle rank and difficulty level is stated in the task description. The tasks are all the same and are renewed every two days at 11:00 GMT.

• The exact terms of each task can be found in the “Nickname → Achievements → Summer Quest” window.
  
• To get a Mark of distinction, you need to complete a task on the corresponding vehicle type in the corresponding game mode. For example, a Mark of distinction for a pilot can be received only by playing Air battles (AB/RB/SB).
  
• You can complete the tasks in multiplayer battles in all game modes except for “Assault”.
  
• You can complete the tasks not only on vehicles Rank III and above, but also on lower rank event vehicles. You could receive those in large events such as winter and summer marathons, WWII chronicles, BP seasons and craft marathons. In the vehicle cards of such vehicles you can find the names of events in which said vehicles first became available in the game.
  
• You have received the Mark of distinction if the achievement’s color is golden.
  
• Missed Marks of distinction can be purchased for Golden Eagles in the Achievements window until September 1st, 2022. Make sure you pick the right achievement category: for tankers, pilots and sailors.
  
• Prizes received in the form of coupons will be available for trading on the market from September 2nd, 2022. The time from which the coupon can be traded can be viewed in the game in the coupon description. The option of trading each coupon separately depends on the time of its receipt and doesn’t depend on the vehicle type.
  
• For 8 Marks of distinction you receive an untradable coupon for a vehicle. Upon activating it, you will instantly receive a corresponding vehicle. If you do not wish to use the vehicle and want to sell the coupon on the Marketplace instead, you need the “Upgrade for coupon” item.
  
• For 10 Marks of distinction you receive an untradable “Upgrade for coupon” item. You can use it to make the vehicle coupon you received tradable and then sell it on the Marketplace. The date from which your tradable coupon can be sold can be found in its description in the game.
  
• The “Upgrade for coupon” item has an expiration date. You can either use it or exchange it for Warbonds before it expires.
  
• PlayStation and Xbox players will be able to exchange decal coupons for similar ones. The exchange is available in the “Workshop → Exchange items “Summer Quest” window.

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.





We continue working on the UI to make it even more handy and helpful. This time we’ve changed the look of the achievements that grant you decals and decorations. Previously, icons of customization elements that you didn’t have were darkened, and that made them less readable.

In the new UI iteration the items that haven’t been unlocked yet will have icons of locks on them. The keys to those locks are your battle merits.





We’ve fixed a few errors that occurred when playing War Thunder in VR headsets. If you’ve encountered black lines on the sides — rest assured, you won’t see them again. Tank sights now show correctly. And finally, we’ve increased the field of view in the gunner’s sights when turning the gun of the vehicle: after all, in a virtual reality headset you especially need an ability to look around.





If you’ve played an air mission during dusk, you may have stumbled upon a weird sight where the ground darkened instantly, even though the sky was still bright. You’ve guessed right: such an occurrence was an error that felt wrong and got in the way of admiring the landscapes.

We’ve fixed it! Now the battles during dawn and dusk will look as romantic as they should.





Incendiary bombs are now even more useful! The damage that bombing bases take from a flame mixture was notably increased, and now incendiary bombs are more effective than HE bombs. After all, flame mixture is supposed to work on buildings much better than on vehicles.


Once again, many thanks for all your bug reports that you submitted using our special service.

• ZTZ96, ZTZ96A — A bug with the displacement of powder charges in the automatic loader has been fixed (report).
  
• BMD-4 — The thickness of the side armour has been changed from 20mm to 30mm.
  
• AUBL/74 HVG — Smoke grenades have been replaced with modern aerosol grenades.
  
• Leopard A1A1 — A bug with low aiming speed of the anti-aircraft machine gun in comparison with other vehicles has been fixed (report).
  
• Leclerc, Leclerc S2, Leclerc SXXI — Angle of inclination of the cannon over the engine compartment has been changed from 0 to -2 degrees.

• A bug that caused the bomb sight to not change colour to red when pointing at the enemy has been fixed (report).
  
• 57mm Akan m/47 cannon — A bug where the 57mm AP shell was considered bullet like and did not give secondary fragments has been fixed (report).
  
• AV-8A, AV-8C, Harrier GR.1, Harrier GR.3 — Light deactivation when turning the pilots head to the left has been fixed (report).
  
• Z-1007 bis — The sequence of bomb dropping has been changed: the first dropped will be bombs from suspended weaponry and then from the bomb bay.
  
• For all incendiary bombs calculations and adjustments of damage to targets in air battles have been made. Now when an incendiary bomb hits a bombing base it will take more damage than from a HE bomb.

• The fuze delay of some British AP and semi AP shells has been changed from 0.035 sec. to 0.025 sec.: 305mm Mark VIa APC, 343mm Mark Ia APC, 343mm Mark IIIa APC, 381mm Mk XIIa APC, 133mm Mark II SAP, 152mm CPBC, 152mm AP (152 mm/50 QF Mk.5), 190mm SAPC, 203mm Mark I.B. SAPC.

• Above the “Research” button and the corresponding nation tab and also on the vehicle icon has been added a display of a label about the time availability for purchase in a limited time. The time until which the vehicle is available for purchase will be indicated in the vehicle card.
  
• Now in the achievement description that requires the performance of other achievements you will be able to see the conditions for their receipt.
  
• Icons of unreceived achievements for decorations and decals will be now displayed without a bleaching effect. Instead they will show lock icons.

On August 1st, 1927, the Nanchang uprising laid the foundation of what later became the Chinese Red Army. From 1937 to 1945, it was fighting against the Japanese invaders, and in 1948 it was reformed into People’s Liberation Army. Right now, it is one of the strongest military forces in the world.

On August 3rd, 1943, the Battle of Kursk reached its final stage: the Red Army began the Belgorod-Kharkov offensive operation, named “Polkovodets Rumyantsev” after one of the most prominent Russian generals of the 18th century. The goals of the operation were met, although it came at a price. Belgorod was liberated on August 5th, and Kharkov on August 23rd. Ever since then City Day is celebrated there on those dates.

A desperate counteroffensive by the German forces against US positions near the town of Mortain in Normandy was named Operation Lüttich after the Belgian town of Liege, the site of a German victory in early WWI. But in August of ‘44 Germany lacked enough firepower for an effective counterattack, and the Allies controlled the air. The Germans hoped to take the enemy by surprise, but that wasn’t enough: as a result they lost half of their tanks, and in a couple of weeks the entire 7th Army of Wehrmacht was encircled and surrendered to the Allies.

Having liberated Narva in late June of 1944, the Red Army moved further west, towards Tartu, Estonia’s second largest city. But instead of attacking the enemy’s well-reinforced positions head-on, the Soviet forces crossed Lake Peipus, having transported several thousand troops behind the enemy lines. This played an important part in the liberation of Tartu that finally happened on August 25th.

August 13th, 1940, was marked in Wehrmacht’s plans as the Adlertag, “Eagle Day”. On this day the Luftwaffe planned to execute Operation Eagle Attack, crushing the British Air Force ahead of Operation Sea Lion that meant invasion of Great Britain by the German troops. But neither in Eagle Day nor in the next month the Luftwaffe managed to secure a decisive aerial victory. So Operation Sea Lion was canceled, and Germany instead resorted to mass bombings of Britain.

The first major military operation of US troops in Vietnam. Having received intel on the upcoming attack of Viet Cong forces on the American Chu Lai Air Base, the US command led a preemptive combined arms assault involving ground, air, and naval units. On August 18th, 1965, the Marines landed near the Viet Cong positions, leaving the enemy no chance. The surviving guerrillas were forced to retreat.

From August 22nd through September 10th, 1942, the Red Army led a counteroffensive under Kaluga, hoping to encircle the German forces in a small salient. The Soviet army lost 500 tanks in the fierce battles and failed to achieve their goals: the Germans were stalled but not encircled.

On August 25th, 1942, the Japanese Marine forces led an attack on the Allied airfield at Milne Bay on the easternmost point of New Guinea. The Japanese command has severely underestimated the numbers of Australian troops that ultimately crushed the attackers, forcing the survivors to evacuate. It was the first major victory of the Allies over Japanese infantry in World War II.

From August 30th through September 5th, 1942, the Axis powers under the command of General Field Marshal Erwin Rommel tried to encircle the British army to the south of El-Alamein in Egypt. It was the last major Axis offensive in Africa: Rommel hoped to crush the British until their reinforcements arrived. Little did he know that the enemy, having cracked the Enigma code, intercepts all their messages. The British baited the Axis forces to a place of their choosing, used tanks as anti-tank guns and successfully repelled the attack.
