The Vickers Mk.11 is a prototype wheeled combat vehicle developed by British company Vickers as part of a private venture in response to an Australian requirement in the 1990s, this vehicle will arrive in the game with the next War Thunder update!


Features:

• Versatile 105 mm cannon.
  
• Laser rangefinder.
  
• Light protection.
  
• Large in size.

The next dev blog season has begun! Coming to War Thunder in the next major update, the Vickers Mk.11 will help to bolster Britain’s ground research tree at rank VI! Highly agile and packing an impressive punch, the Mk.11 will be sure to provide you with an impressive choice for flanking and scouting. Let’s dive into the details of what this vehicle has to offer!




Right off the bat, you may have already noticed something oddly familiar about the Mk.11. Its size? Yes, it’s an absolute unit, but what we mean is its turret! This vehicle inherits its entire turret from the VFM5 light tank which you may already be familiar with, as it’s already in the game. This means that it sports a very-capable 105 mm LRF cannon, featuring excellent ballistic properties and a great rate of fire!


Unlike the VFM5, the Mk.11 features a wheeled 6x6 chassis, offering you good mobility. This vehicle can reach speeds of up to 105 km/h on paved surfaces, all while retaining good off-road characteristics apart from in the most difficult terrain types such as deep snow or mud.




The fact that the Mk.11 is based on a modified APC chassis means that it won’t really offer you much protection in your matches. Featuring only lightweight armor, this vehicle will be able to withstand light machine guns and autocannons at a distance. However, dedicated anti-tank weapons will most certainly make short work of its thinly armored hull. Therefore, a smarter tactic would be to make use of its excellent mobility to stay out of sight from any enemies that you may encounter, all while picking off enemies from flank positions!






This wheeled behemoth, the Vickers Mk.11, will soon be available at rank VI in the British ground forces research tree when the next major update is released! Make sure that you’re keeping an eye on our website for other exciting dev blogs that we’ll be revealing. Until then, enjoy your matches!

On October 13th 1775, the Continental Fleet was created by the 13 colonies that separated from Great Britain. When it was first created, this fleet consisted of only a few ships that went on to battle with British ships. Today, the US Navy is the world’s largest navy in terms of ships and naval aircraft.

• The USS Cowell is a tier III Destroyer that is armed with 10 x 40 mm Bofors cannons as well as 7 x 20 mm autocannons which are certainly deadly to enemy boats as well as aircraft. The meaty side of this ship though is its 5 x 127mm/38 Mk.12 main caliber guns, capable of striking a devastating blow to enemy boats and destroyers!

For this day, you’ll be able to get this decal by completing the below task.




“Famous Ships: USS Missouri” decal

Additional details:

• You must use a minimum of rank III.
  
• Your activity must not be below 70%.
  
• You can complete the task in random battles, except for Enduring Confrontation missions, [Assault] mode and Helicopter PVE battles.
  
• Track your progress in the hangar by clicking Nickname → Achievements → Holidays → US Navy Birthday.
  
• You can find the decal in the “Holidays” tab in the Customisation menu.

We’re rounding up some of the bugs and issues that we’ve fixed since last week, including some of the bugs that we’ve fixed in today’s update. As always, thank you very much for all of your bug reports!

If you’ve found a bug that you’d like to report, you can do so on our community bug reporting platform. Let’s dive into the details of this article!




With today’s update, when tracking missiles and bombs through the tracking camera, the camera better directs at the target, making it easier to see where your fired ordnance is going. Thanks to this change, you’ll be able to more easily see the flight trajectory of the missile or bomb that you launched!




Today, we’ve also improved the traction of wheeled vehicles when driving over terrain that doesn’t have mud or grass. It’ll now feel better to drive over these types of terrain — wheeled vehicles will pick up speed faster, and will be easier to control!




It’s now more convenient for you to track the progress of camouflages! Last week, in a vehicle’s modification window next to the Talisman box, there’s a camouflage box that shows progress towards the current camouflage. From here, you can click on this box which will then bring you to the regular camouflage customization area, so you can check out all other camouflages for a vehicle as normal!




Last week, we fixed a graphic issue related to clouds and aircraft. What happened was, aircraft flickered when they were in front of the backdrop of clouds at medium and longer distances. This issue made aircraft difficult to spot and overall was quite annoying. We discovered what was causing this, so this issue won’t be happening anymore.


You’ll be able to see the full list of bug fixes and improvements that we’ve made recently below.

Here’s a quick summary of some other fixes in the past 2 weeks: Vehicle stat card photos have been improved and several maps and missions have been given different aircraft sizes depending on the Battle Rating of the match. Check out the rest!

• Today’s update: Update 2.29.0.94
• Update 2.29.0.77
  
• Update 2.29.0.84
  
• Update 2.29.0.88
  
• Update 2.29.0.91

• Now, when tracking missiles and bombs through the tracking camera, the camera is better directed at the target, making it easier to see where your fired ordnance is going.
  
• AV-8B Plus — radar operation page has been added to MFD mode. (Report)
  
• Jaguar GR.1, Jaguar GR.1A, Jaguar E — separate bomb drop sequences have been added. (Report)
  
• Fw 190 D-13 — a bug that caused the cannon in the engine to show a 30 mm Mk 108 cannon in x-ray mode instead of a 20 mm MG 151 cannon has been fixed. (Report)
  
• Be-6 — a bug that caused flaps in the landing position to clip through the torpedo has been fixed. (Report)
  
• Sea Hawk FGA.6 — a bug that caused the 4th pylon ordnance on the left wing to be floating instead of attached has been fixed. (Report)

• F-100F (China) — an additional camouflage has been added, which can be obtained by completing a task or by purchasing with Golden Eagles.

• The traction of soil without dirt or grass has been changed to help with the problem of poorer mobility for wheeled vehicles driving on this soil.

• A bug that caused the Protection Analysis to display an incorrect threat despite saving a different country and rank choice has been fixed.

• A bug that could cause the game to crash when viewing a helicopter in battle replays has been fixed.
  
• A bug that caused the game to slow down when leaving a battle replay after putting the replay in less than 1x playback speed has been fixed.

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 the summer of 1942, determined Axis forces launched an offensive into the Caucasus region in a bid to capture key locations. In 2 months, they managed to advance to Mozdok, but then hit a barrier — they were stopped from advancing further by the Soviets. From the beginning of 1943, Soviet troops squeezed out Axis forces from many occupied locations. Then, by October 9th 1943, all Axis troops were evacuated from the region, therefore full control of these locations were returned to the Soviets.

• The KV-1E is an excellent tank for its Battle Rating! Possessing a strong gun, the KV-1E has good armor and decent mobility, and also features additional armor plates on the side of the hull and turret, good for extra protection!

• The IL-2M “Avenger” is a special aircraft: it was built using the funds from Grigor Tevosyan who was the chairman of a collective farm named after Stalin in the village of Avdalar in the Armenian USSR. Grigor lost two brothers in the war, which is why this IL-2M is called “Avenger”. This ground attack aircraft can sustain fire and has a wide range of ordnance options which include bombs and rockets. The “Avenger” is also able to fly faster than the regular IL-2M. For forward armament, this aircraft features 2 x 23 mm cannons, and for defensive armament, 2 x machine guns!

For this anniversary, you’ll be able to get this decal and decoration by completing the below tasks.


Task: Play 3 battles using USSR Vehicles to receive the “Vehicles of Victory: Po-2” decal!
