A little more details of a recent update with noticeable improvements in the radar mechanics, the IRST range, and flight parameters of missiles.




Recently, the developer team introduced important fixes and adjustments for the SAM systems in War Thunder. The main improvement was the increased tracking range in automatic mode (IRST - infrared search and track). The top-tier SPPAGs go beyond the 10 km range: the range of the IRST of the FlaRakRad and ITO-90 is now 15 km, the IRST range of the TOR-M1, ADATS, and 2S6 is 12 km. The IRST range of the pre-top anti-aircraft systems LAV-AD, Type-93, Machbet, SIDAM 25, SIDAM 25 (Mistral) has increased to 10 km.





We fixed an annoying issue that was disabling the laser detectors in the radar-warning systems (RWS) of armored vehicles and aircraft. But the coolest thing with RWS is that they are now much more sensitive to radars and active seekers of missiles - the detection distances are now two, or sometimes three times longer!





The Snail programmers were concerned by the insignificant influence of induced drag on the flight performance of missiles. The induced drag (or lift-induced drag) is the force that appears on the wing top and bottom sides due to the pressure difference. An increase of induced drag causes the missile to lose more energy in sharp maneuvers, as well as when flying at low speeds. Thus, by maneuvering intensively, the pilot can swing the missile locked on to their aircraft and, more likely, avoid being hit. Such maneuvering works especially effectively over long distances - the greater the distance, the more wobbly the missile’s course due to attempts to turn on the target.

• Laser warning sensors in random battles have been restored.
  
• A bug has been fixed where the destroyed antenna of SAM SPAAGs continued to rotate.
  
• Pantsyr-S1 — a bug has been fixed that prevented the radar from tracking air-to-surface missiles and aircraft bombs (report).
  
• Pantsyr-S1 — an issue, where the search radar was unable to detect low flying targets, has been solved.
  
• Pantsyr-S1 — incorrect display of the radar scanning cone angles has been fixed.
  
• Pantsyr-S1 — scan time of the search radar in different modes has been adjusted. 0-30 degree cone - 2 sec; 0-60 degree - 4 sec; 0-80 degree - 8 sec.
  
• TOR-М1 — a bug with the incorrect display of the radar cone of the search radar has been fixed (report).
  
• TOR-М1 — scan time of the search radar in different modes has been adjusted. 0-12 degree cone - 1 sec; 0-32 degree - 3 sec; 0-64 degree - 6 sec.
  
• FlaRakRad — a bug has been fixed that disabled the tracking radar after switching off the search radar (report).
  
• FlaRakRad — search-and-track distance has been increased from 10 to 15 km.
  
• ITO-90 — search-and-track distance has been increased from 10 to 15 km.
  
• 2S6 — search-and-track distance has been increased from 10 to 12 km.
  
• ADATS — search-and-track distance has been increased from 10 to 12 km.
  
• 2S6 — tracking radar distance has been increased from 10 to 13 km.
  
• 2S6 — search radar scan cone angles have been increased from 15 to 20 degrees (report).
  
• 2S6 — search-and-track angles have been increased: from +/-20 to +/-134 horizontal, and from -10…+80 to -12…+84 vertical (report).
  
• LAV-AD, Type-93, Machbet, SIDAM 25, SIDAM 25 (Mistral) — incorrect IRST distance in the xray mode and in battle has been fixed, IRST distance has been increased to 10 km.
  
• Type-91 SAM — autopilot has been improved, missile dynamics adjusted. Sensitivity of the contact fuse has been increased.

• Laser warning sensors in random battles have been restored.
  
• Distance of all radar-warning systems has been increased 2-3 times against radar and active missile seekers.
  
• Gun lead indicator will no longer be available for aerial targets in the TWS (track-while-scan) mode, same as for the target area set on the ground. The indicator is now available on distances up to 1.5 km, target tracking is now smoother. When the lead indicator is activated, its mode is now displayed as “AUTO” in the HUD.
  
• In order to make flight the characteristics of all missiles more authentic, their induced drag has been significantly increased. This results in increasing energy drop in manoeuvring, as well as at low speed flight. Maximum fire range in the frontal hemisphere and on crossing (collision) courses will be reduced, the efficiency of induced oscillation of enemy missiles by manoeuvres in long-range air combat will increase.

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.

On March 21st, 1942 the La-5, a Soviet fighter aircraft designed by Semyon Lavochkin, made its maiden flight. It was an evolution of LaGG-3 that replaced an inline engine with the stronger and more widely available Shvetsov ASh-82 radial engine; that allowed the USSR to quickly produce a huge number of new fighters. In the skies La-5 was a strong competitor to the German Bf 109, and its modifications were used until the end of the War.

To earn the new trophy, just keep playing War Thunder. To open it, you’ll need to purchase a key on the Market (income is shared with the authors of the camouflages). The key allows you to get a coupon for a camo, rare vehicle, or Sky Guardians decal. You can either activate the coupon on your account, or trade it on the Market to get Gaijin Coins (GJN). A trophy can be sold as well!
