May 3rd is celebrated in Poland as Constitution Day. This historical document was adopted in 1791, way ahead of its time, and for generations May 3rd was a symbol of Poland’s struggle for independence and prosperity. Join us in War Thunder to celebrate this day!

In War Thunder you can find Polish vehicles in the research trees of other countries: for example, tank Sherman IC "Trzyniec" and destroyer ORP Garland in the British research tree, Leopard 2 PL is listed among the German tanks, and Bostwick’s P-47M-1-RE Thunderbolt fighter in the USA aviation branch.

You can find the decal in the “Holidays” tab in the Customisation menu.

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.



Numerous vehicles have a few reverse transmissions, and we’ve added automatic transmissions in War Thunder to make controlling them more comfortable. Turns out, it didn’t work exactly as intended and could get in the way of your hasty retreat from a dangerous position. When moving directly backwards, the Automatic Transmission worked correctly, but if you tried to turn your vehicle, it changed to the first reverse transmission gear! An issue with reverse movement also arose if the wheels of your vehicle were completely turned to one side.

Now automatic transmission uses all the power of your vehicle — in several cases the speed of turning in reverse increased up to two times!



Many players in mid ranks try to max out suspended weaponry of their aircraft. We found a way to make it more comfortable for them!

Now each weapon in the editor of the suspended weaponry will display its weight — as will the entire preset. You’ll be able to compare your current weight against the maximum — or check how much you’ve exceeded the limit if you did. Have fun experimenting with different sets of explosive cargo!



We’ve noticed that the air-to-surface missile AGM-65 can’t reach its maximum range unless it’s launched from a very high altitude. The reason was simple: to reach that range, the missile has to loft, and it just couldn’t. Well, we taught it its signature move!

Now, AIM-54 actually could loft, but there was a catch: when pulling up, it could hit the aircraft it was launched from. We fixed that, and increased seeker warm-up angles and guidance equipment operational time.

Autopilot of the L-UMTAS and Mokopa missiles weren’t functioning well enough on short and very long distances. It happened because they worked in relay mode, when the fins were constantly being switched from minimum to maximum, and the flight trajectory was determined by the time they spent in each position. Now the autopilot works in proportional mode, and that allows it to follow the set trajectory more precisely.

Lastly, we’ve almost doubled the maximum permissible overload of 9M331, the missile of the Torus. All listed missiles have received improvements to their dynamics and autopilot. Use them well!


You’ll find the full list of improvements in the separate changelog — there are many interesting things there. Weapon selector no longer prevents the camera from following the falling bombs or torpedoes, the position of the propeller of the aircraft now stays the same regardless of your point of view, and the parameters of dropping bombs now longer apply to other helicopter weaponry.

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

• M60A2 — A bug with the explosion of the smoke grenades at high altitude above the tank has been fixed (report).
  
• M18 GMC — A bug where AP shells might fly through the commander without causing damage has been fixed (report).
  
• A bug that caused armoured vehicles with multiple reverse gears when using automatic transmission to reverse in first gear only has been fixed (report).
  
• A bug that caused maximum reverse speed on wheeled vehicles to be unachievable if the wheels were turned to one side or another before moving has been fixed (report 1, report 2).
  
• “Vietnam” and “Breslau” locations — Some physical materials that could significantly slow down the movement of wheeled vehicles has been corrected (report).

• AGM-65A, AGM-65B, AGM-65D — The autopilot and rocket dynamics have been redesigned. The loft manoeuvre mode has been added to the autopilot.
  
• F-84F — A bug where HVAR missiles under the fuselage were consumed incorrectly has been fixed.
  
• Lightning F.53 — A bug that made it possible to forcibly drop SNEB type 23 missile containers above the wings has been fixed.
  
• Jaguar GR.1A — A bug that made it possible to forcibly drop AIM-9G missiles has been fixed.
  
• A bug that caused the parameters of dropping bombs in series to apply to other helicopter weaponry has been fixed (report).
  
• A bug that caused bomb/torpedo tracking not to work when the weapons selector was turned on after bombing has been fixed.
  
• A bug where when using the default settings for the “Takeoff-Landing '' training prompted the instructor to raise the mouse up when taking off, which caused a nose over, has been fixed.
  
• A bug when switching to premium piston aircraft in the hangar where the engine propeller might change the position has been fixed.
  
• A bug that caused the position of the propeller blades to be different when viewed from the cockpit and from 3rd person view has been fixed.

• Display of the current and maximum allowed mass has been added to the suspended weaponry edit window. Also displaying the mass for each pod has been added to the drop-down suspended weaponry menu.

• The ability to move the NVIDIA ANSEL camera by using WASD has been restored (report).
  
• VR — A bug that caused some objects like branches, trash and bricks in ground battles to be displayed only in the left eyepiece has been fixed.

Welcome to the third War Thunder Steam Community Spotlight!

Following on from the First War Thunder Community Spotlight, and Second War Thunder Community Spotlight, the War Thunder Steam Community Management team has continued looking at the community hub for War Thunder, and have yet again spotted some outstanding screenshots and artwork that our players have been creating! So once again, we’ve picked our favourites and thought that we'd share them with the rest of the Steam community. Take a look below.


To start off, an amazing drawing of a Panther tank, hand drawn with pencil on paper. The detail in this drawing is immaculate. Well done!

"Panzerkampfwagen V "Panther" by Honey

The drawing name DAKADKAKDKKADKA sums up this drawing perfectly - as the T-72M2 Moderna's 30mm auto cannon certainty packs and punch and makes this sound! We love this artwork, nice work!

"DAKADKAKDKKADKA" by random_mesincuci

An amazing model of the King Tiger H, which perfectly captures the details of this beast. The diorama base certaintainly makes it look more fearsome. Well done! (and yes, we also spotted the flying Ho 229 and Haunebu II in the background, they look awesome!)

"Königstiger" drawing" by Pripyatnik

Noble hussars, it’s time to learn what you can spend your Warbonds on that you will earn in the Battle Pass! As usual, we have decals, decorations, camouflages, a new stylish pinup, and six premium vehicles, three of which are available in the shop for the first time!

Pay special attention to the M4A4 (1st PTG), the famous American Rank II tank flying the Chinese flag — it’s a versatile vehicle that can fight off almost any enemy tank.


Open “Shop” → “Warbond shop” to see an assortment where some of the more interesting items can be seen.



A rank I German motor torpedo boat that was used in the Eastern front in World War II as a minelayer on lakes and rivers. Its fragility and lack of powerful armament are compensated by its high speed and low profile.


A British Rank II bomber with an impressive suspended armament that’s capable of destroying an entire base and damaging another one. Featuring a double 7.7 mm Browning machine gun in its dorsal turret that can dismantle almost any enemy that approaches this aircraft!


An American self-propelled tank destroyer T48 serving in the Soviet army. Thanks to its minimal armor, it’s quite agile and can easily move to a different place after each attack, while its 57 mm M1 cannon can easily penetrate armor of enemies on Ranks I-II.


This rank III American motor torpedo boat has amazing speed: up to 106 km/h in Arcade battles! Onboard are four torpedoes, five 20 mm autocannons protecting its aft and front, two 12.7 mm machine guns and a frontal 37 mm gun that can be loaded with AP shells.


You’ll find this Finnish “Hurricane” in Rank III of the Swedish aviation tree. This fighter, which was created to replace the Bf 109, has very good climb rate and maneuverability, and also boasts a powerful front 20 mm cannon and a couple of 12.7 mm machine guns. To deal with ground targets, it can carry four 50 kg or 100 kg bombs.



An American medium tank that arrived in China via Lend-Lease. Decent speed allows it to rush to tactically advantageous positions, while its 75 mm cannon with a vertical stabilizer rotates quite quickly. It can also frontally penetrate and even one-shot many opponents.

• "Taurus Zodiac" pinup
  
• decals
  
• player icon
  
• decorations

Decals are represented in the trophy, alongside decals from the 2021 Warbonds shop, as well as a new “Taurus Zodiac” pinup which continues the series of themed decals. The camouflage decoration trophy will provide you with floral decorations that will help you make your vehicle less noticeable. The player icons in the corresponding trophy this time features USSR tankers. Trophies with random camouflages, as before, become available as new store levels are opened.

A large number of usable items are also available in the store: boosters, universal backups, wagers and orders, test drives of premium vehicles — even talismans on the highest levels of the shop.

Check out the full assortment of available Warbond items for the current Battle Pass season and the terms for purchasing them in the game by opening the Battle Pass window or “Shop -> Warbond Shop”!

On May 14th 1948, Israel declared its independence — and then managed to defend it thanks to its armed forces. This holiday is celebrated on 5 Iyar in the Hebrew calendar, which in 2023 corresponds to April 25-26, from sunset till sunset. On this day, people decorate their houses and cars with Israeli flags and have picnics, the government gives out awards for contributions to Israeli culture, and some military bases open up to visitors.
