• A bug has been fixed where vertical strobe radars were vibrating when vehicles turn on a slope.

• A bug has been fixed that caused graphical artefacts on vehicles on PS4/PS5 consoles.

The current provided update notes reflect the major changes within the game as part of this Update. Some updates and fixes may be not listed in the provided notes. War Thunder is constantly improving all the time and certain fixes may be implemented without the client being updated.

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.





A week ago we added an ability for ground vehicles to keep moving in cruise control whilst a player controls the UAV. But the ground vehicles decided to misbehave: with cruise control enabled they kept stopping, and when in neutral they started moving instead.

The error has now been fixed. Let cruise control keep moving your vehicle in the right direction while you enjoy your pleasant flight in the UAV.





In naval locations, such as Golden Bay, Japanese Port, Black Sea Port, and Drowned City, there are cargo ships, oil tankers, and hulks of damaged ships. Naturally, they are supposed to be obstacles for various projectiles. And they were — for torpedoes launched from ships. But the torpedoes launched from aircraft could slip through models of damaged and other static ships. Well, it won’t happen again!





A smokescreen is supposed to hide your movements from the enemy: as you hide behind it, the marker of your tank disappears from your enemy’s screen, and they can’t track you. Well, now they definitely can’t as before, if your enemy kept holding RMB, they could track you even after your marker disappeared behind the smokescreen. This was an error, and we’ve fixed it. Feel safe behind the cover of smoke!


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

Any suspended container reduces flight characteristics - this applies to a container full of unguided rockets, it also applies to an empty one as they all affect the resistance of oncoming airflow! Previously we introduced the ability to get rid of some empty suspended containers. Now we are making that mechanic automatic!

Depending on the type, containers can be dropped separately or after one type of ordnance is completely used up.

For your convenience we have left the setting to enable or disable this feature: “Automatic dropping of empty weapon containers”.





UAVs are great for everything - they are great scouts, they help your whole team and your squad mates and they give you a nice opportunity to annoy the enemy by buzzing in their ear. But the trouble is that once you have launched your scouting UAV - your vehicle has been left motionless waiting for a lucky hunter.

That was the way it used to be. Now you can control the UAV from a moving vehicle if you set the direction of movement and turn on cruise control before launching the UAV. Don’t be like a rock. Keep moving!





We have fixed a bug with the incorrect display of the chaffs counter when firing them separately. Also, one flare and one chaff will be dropped in one shot. Good luck dodging that missile.


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

During the Yom Kippur War he commanded Israel's 7th Armored Brigade that held off the Syrian advance on the Golan Heights. Ben-Gal had foreseen the war two weeks before it started and began to prepare his brigade despite being laughed at. As a result the 7th Armored Brigade was the only unit in the state of full readiness at the start of the war. Their heroism and Ben-Gal's leadership were instrumental in ensuring Israel's victory over Syria.

The Volturno Line was the southernmost of the German lines of defense in Italy that were set up after the Allies landed there in 1943. On the night of October 3rd the British infantry forces crossed the Volturno line by landing on the northern side of the Biferno river. However, they were left without any vehicle support and had to desperately defend themselves until noon of October 5th, when their engineers managed to finally complete the bridge across Biferno. After that the Allies began their offensive, and the Wehrmacht abandoned the Volturno line.

The name "Valley of Tears" was given to the place of a huge scale tank battle between Israel and Syria during the Yom Kippur War of 1973. A single Israeli brigade held off an advance of an entire Syrian division, having destroyed several hundred tanks during a four-day defense. When Israel's strength was all but depleted, the Syrian forces withdrew.

On the night of October 11th, 1942, an American unit patrolling near cape Esperance of Guadalcanal intercepted Japanese forces en route to shell the Henderson Field airfield. Americans took the Japanese by surprise and forced them to retreat, but couldn't stop them from unloading supplies. Two days later Henderson Field was destroyed by Japanese bombardment.

From October 15th until October 18th, 1973, the bloodiest battle of the Yom Kippur War was fought on the eastern bank of the Suez Canal. The Israeli forces wanted to cross the canal, but were met with fierce resistance from Egypt. Both sides suffered heavy losses, until Israel used the entire might of its Air Force to support the ground units, and sent a battalion of paratroopers to distract the enemy from the rear. The namesake of the battle was an irrigation station that the Egyptians held: the Israelis mistook the Japanese writing on the machinery there for Chinese characters.

On October 16th, 1941, the Tikhvin Defensive Operation began. Its aim was to stop the eastward advance of the Wehrmacht in the Leningrad Oblast. Despite the Germans taking Tikhvin and thus severing the railway supply route to Leningrad, the operation was a success: the Soviet forces stopped the Germans from reaching their Finnish allies and completing the blockade of the city.

On the night of October 23rd, 1942, the British and Commonwealth forces that had until then been defending on the North African front went on the offensive. Thanks to their deceptive maneuvers, field marshal Rommel couldn't figure out the direction from which the attack would take place and had spread his forces. The Allies had superiority in numbers, and so the Axis powers lost most of their vehicles in the battle and were forced to retreat from Egypt all the way to Tunisia.

On October 15th, 1940, the first prototype of the P-51 Mustang, the first airplane with laminar flow airfoils, took flight. These single-seat fighter planes were widely used by Great Britain and the USA during WWII and Korean War, and by Israel during the Suez Crisis.

October 29, 1944, saw the beginning of the Soviet operation to remove Hungary from WWII. Fierce fighting for Budapest lasted for three and a half months and ended with Soviet victory. Germany sent lots of reinforcements into Budapest, and that helped the Red Army advance faster during the Vistula–Oder offensive.

All of your screenshots from last week were fantastic! Although less common than their metallic counterparts, hopefully all of the wooden wonders will find newfound support and admiration among the players! The three most popular and three selected by us will get 300 GE. See the winners down below!
