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.




There is a possibility in the game to switch to a specific armament in your vehicle that allows you to control only it - regardless of other cannons and suspended weaponry. However previously, in the case of aircraft, after such a switch the hotkeys continued to work. These hotkeys might already be assigned to specific actions for other weapons (typical example - the assignment of firing on aircraft machine guns to one key and cannons to another) which created a problem.

Now, switching to control specific weapons on the aircraft will block the hotkeys responsible for actions with other weapons. It has become more convenient.


The new functionality of the commander sights is very useful in many situations but what they didn’t know was how to make your own vehicle invisible. Because of the bug the hull of your ground vehicle and its cannon disappeared in the sight.

This mystical problem has been fixed.




We continue to expand the range of vehicles that have access to more useful functionality for controlling weapons from the commander's sights. If you have forgotten about it, we explained its functionality here.

Vehicles that have received this additional feature: ZTZ96, M41 SDF, leKPz M41, VEAK 40.




In the last “It’s fixed!”, we made an important fix to the game mechanics in aiming that began to ignore smoke screens when aiming at a target. But the vehicle’s fire control system with automatic range input introduced the maximum range into the sight and knocked out the player’s aiming in such situations.

Fixed! Now rangefinder values will be displayed as before, but this value will not be automatically entered into the sight.




We continue to work on vehicles with the hull aiming mechanics. This time we are fixing the cases of elevation angle failure when the vehicle’s engine is damaged or disabled.

In reality the electro-hydraulic suspension is capable of raising and lowering the hull without the help of the engine. Now it can be done in War Thunder.


Now, for the vehicles with hull aiming, the horizon control will no longer work with a damaged engine, tracks or transmission. The change will not affect VT1-2 which, with an operable running gear due to auxiliary electric engines, is able to turn even if the engine is inoperable until the batteries are depleted.

Aiming during crew replenishment or when assisting in repairs and firefighting will remain so that vehicles with hull aiming will not receive an additional penalty compared to conventional tanks that can aim and fire in such situations.


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

Once again, many thanks for all your bug reports that you submitted in our bug report section on the War Thunder forums.




Improvements and fixes

• BMP-3, U-SH 405 — Markers for additional guns are now displayed correctly and take into account terrain/landscape if missiles have been loaded.
  
• BM-13N — The inscription about the impossibility of movement with changed ground clearance now appears only at the start of the movement and will not interfere with the view.
  
• Helicopter sight stabilization marks will no longer be displayed in the ground vehicle sight after the air event in ground AB is completed.
  
• A bug when playing server replays which caused incorrect displaying of the camera direction indicator of the ATGM gunner on helicopters has been fixed.
  
• The rangefinder will not be set to a value of “>9999” when pointing the gun sight at the smoke screen.
  
• A bug with an inability to switch view from commander’s camera to binoculars if camera cycle mechanics and night vision mode coincided has been fixed.
  
• Now the weapons selection function for aircraft will not lock hotkeys assigned to individual weapons.
  
• A bug leading to a lack of display of your ground vehicle in the commander’s sight has been fixed.
  
• An inability to select premium vehicles located at the back of the hangar when controlling from a gamepad has been fixed.
  
• A bug that caused the inability to vertically aim on tanks with hull aiming when the engine or tracks have been damaged has been fixed.

• ZTZ96, M41 SDF, leKPz M41, VEAK 40 — The function of duplicated fire control for commanders has been added.
  
• Conqueror — A bug with lack of the commander's fire control has been fixed.

• Mirage IIIC — A bug where wing fragments in some cases remained in the air when a wing was detached has been fixed.
  
• Ar 234 B-2, Ar 234 C-3 — Separate bomb drop for suspended armament setups has been added.
  
• Sea Vixen F.A.W Mk.2 — Separate bomb drop for 1000 pound G.P Mk.I bombs has been added..
  
• F6F (all modifications) — Bomb dropping for the 1000 pound AN-M65A1 bombs has been corrected. Now bombs will be dropped first from the right pylon and then from the left pylon. Source: Pilot's handbook of flight operating instructions for navy models F6F-3, F6F-3N, F6F-5, F6F-5N airplanes.

Hi all,

Sorry for the delay since the last update. The game is a lot more solid now, and most major features intended for full release (alternate maps, random events, staff commanders, etc) are in the game albeit with room for improvement. So I figured it was time to get a few more eyes on it and release the Mac version. This will hopefully provide me with more fresh opinions on the game while I go through and do things like add more tooltips, fix minor bugs I've been putting off, and improve quality of life in general.

Most of the work this update has been under the hood both to get the Mac version working, and simply to streamline the code a bit more for my own sake. Nevertheless, I did find time to implement a few suggestions from the forums, as well as finally getting around to fixing the sound effect volumes.

Bugfixes/Changes:

• Units under attack from non-melee sources will be noted in the Event Log even if the Log is hidden. Previously, events would only be logged if the popup was open.
  
• Clicking on a tile was previously strange because both the mouse button click and release were being counted, resulting in occasions where a ground tile would be selected and immediately de-selected. This is fixed.
  
• Clicking on a tile now automatically deselects selected units, similar to pressing the ESC button. There is a new hotkey available when adding new units to existing selections. Holding this button causes unit selection to act the same as before.
  
• Fixed SFX volume slider issue.
  
• Reduced volume of rifle and machine gun effects.

Thanks for playing!

To celebrate this update we also want to share the out-of-this-world artwork created by Dan Dussault for our Sci-fi map pack. Check out his work, give him a follow.



This update features our Sci-fi Maps, our first visual theme update since Pirates about 4 yaaaaars ago (sorry, bad dad joke). With a new holographic look, glowing connection lines, glitchy fog of war effects, and new fortify/attack arrows, this new update is anything but a waste of space.


The future will be fought with dice controlled by robots on distant planets. This pack also includes exclusive new map visuals.




Continent: 11
Territories: 47


This battle is taking place on a classified planetoid that Earth doesn't even know exists yet. Win and keep it that way!



Continent: 10
Territories: 96


In space no one can hear you scream... Because you rolled a one.



Continents: 10
Territories: 47


As Earth battles for control over the Helium-3 supplies the once peaceful mining facilities are turning into battlefields.



Continent: 11
Territories: 100


We cannot tell you how bad it will be for Earth if this command base falls into enemy hands... Does the enemy even have ‘hands’?






Available mid August as long as you have the v3.2 installed. This pack includes the most community-requested larger versions of our maps. Perfect those who prefer a longer game and deeper strategy.
Check out the spectacular artwork for the map pack designed by Harry Heath.





Continent: 8
Territories: 56


Brazil and neighbors are used to battling about football but now you can settle it once and for all in this RISK map.





Continent: 13
Territories: 91


Advanced enough, eh?





Continent: 14
Territories: 83


The most requested advanced map now let’s you take over Europe and surrounding areas in more detail.




Continent: 7
Territories: 61


In Russia, dice roll you!




We’ve pretty much got every theme covered in v3.3: ancient, medieval, futuristic--even edible! We’ll also be rolling out (strike #2 dad joke) country flag dice to show your pride over the next few weeks. Feel free to sing your national anthem as you play. We don't have voice chat so it won’t annoy anyone.






We’re always striving to improve the core RISK experience. In v3.2 we focused on community feedback on the attack and fortify arrows, making them more legible and improving the animation.


Old (left), new (right)

We’ve also added a timeout limit to players who dropout from online matches to counter cheating and overall fairness.


We’ve received a lot of feedback for more female characters so we’re adding more troops and avatars:


Avatar: General Uni
Bio: An eminent Intergalactic General, Uni is known for their keen sight and exceptional piloting skills.


Avatar: Tomoe Gozen
Bio: Inspired by the infamous samurai warrior of the same name. Thousands feared her, many more followed her into battle.


Troop: Onna-musha
Bio: Two blades are better than one.
And here’s a sneak peek of another female avatar we’re working on for v3.3





All players can now see who goes offline in Global Domination matches.
There was a bug where only the game host would correctly see who was offline. The bug gave the false appearance (to the other players) that anyone who was offline was repeatedly dropping out and rejoining in an unfair manner.

+ Multiple minor fixes and improvements.


Pangea

Added missing connection between UK and Italy

Italy
Western and Eastern Austria name overlap fix.

Mont Saint-Michel
Added a hyphen to the continent “Mont Saint-Michel”

Machu Picchu
Improve connection visibility between “City Gate” and “Wheat”

Atlantis
Improved visual connections for bridges




Don’t forget the official community run Discord is also the place to chat with all the other RISK fans like you, well maybe not exactly like you as you’re special.


Phew! What an update! This is a significant change which allows us more flexibility and scope to enhance the game.

Let us know in the comments what you think of this update and if you have any dice ideas post away. We’re in production on a lot of new ones now.
