Welcome to the fourth War Thunder Steam Community Spotlight!

Following on from the First, Second and Third War Thunder Steam 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, videos 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.


Featured already in our spotlight for great pencil drawings, this player has now drawn the Fw 190 D-9, a fantastic performing and looking German aircraft. Well done!

Another pencil sketch! This time by the player Tilkidud - they have sketched 3 different angles of the Spitfire; and all angles look amazing. Nice work, we love it!

"I drew some spitfires" by Tilkidud

---

Another fantastic pencil sketch! This time, the famous Panzerkampfwagen VI "Tiger", which has been beautifully drawn here and signed.

Desert Storm! A nice screenshot of the Strv-122A, T-72B3, M1A1 and Leopard 2A4 (PzBtl 123) in the desert, with each tank commanded by 4 different players. Well done, guys!

"DAKADKAKDKKADKA" by Fubuki-20

---

A cleverly made screenshot with a nice explosion in the background (cool tanks don’t look at explosions) - this reminds us of the main screen artwork we made years ago, but with a cool twist! Nice work.

A Soviet, lend-lease M4, by Yar man! The details and construction are amazing, along with the weathering across, and of course the infamous Soviet log on the side. Great work.

"Soviet m4" by Yar man

---

An outstanding 1/35 scale model of the Flakpanzer IV Wirbelwind! It looks amazing, the paint camouflage as well as the fine details really make this model pop out, and we also spotted the funny “Devil’s Head” emblem decal that we have in the game! Fantastic work on this model!

More moving pixel art! This time the Me 262 A-1a by the player “Shibus”, has really fantastic details - nice work.

---

A Puma in its natural habitat - flanking, spanking, and overall being annoying by the player “Pan Więcek”. We love the Puma here, embedded with the real life environment. Fantastic creative idea!

"Puma on the path" by Pan Więcek

---

Another one from the player “Pan Więcek”! This time, the M4A2 Sherman, driving down a road, probably somewhere in Western Europe. Nice creative idea here again!

"M4A2 Sherman 75" by Pan Więcek

Welcome to the first featured video in one of our community spotlights! This video is created by the player “theloganatorz” - featuring a very creative video kill montage, with amazing text effects and creative editing. Check it out, it’s very interesting - we love it! Nice work here, keep going!

"ENEMY - A WarThunder Kill Montage" by theloganatorz

---

A re-created screenshot of the famous stand-off between a Panther and M26 Pershing that we are sure you are all aware of, during the Battle of Cologne in 1945. It looks really great, nice work on this historical screenshot!

"M26 & Panther." by 𝑰𝒃𝒖𝒌𝒊

---

A goofy looking LEGO creation of the MiG-29 jet from in-game. It is so small, but looks so cool, so we have included it. Great work!

"LEGO Microscale MiG-29" by PanzerOfTheLake

---

A cool, red themed BF 109, created by the same player, “Free^kill-74”, who made the Wirbelwind above. Great models as always!

"BF109" by Free^kill-74

---

A magnificent, but not yet finished, portion of a Tiger tank, made entirely out of MATCHSTICKS! It looks really cool and certainly takes a creative mindset to create something like this out of matchsticks. It’s not yet finished, and we can’t wait to see the finished result. Fantastic work!

"pzkpfw Tiger auf H !!!! Machtstick tank model !!!" by StonePlayers

What’s this? That’s right, a T-34 (1941) made entirely out of SNOW! Look how incredible that is, created by the player “Velja”, who wanted their very own tank in their backyard. Well, now they’ve got it! The tank is over 5 metres long and took several hours to build. Nice work on this! We love it.

Hello, Overseer!
War has changed.
But... War never changes.
...So maybe nothing's changed?
But - no, something's definitely changed.

What has changed, dear Overseer, is that the Combat Revamp that we've announced a long while ago has just come out, ready to be mastered by you! Among many changes and differences compared to the previous system, one is most definitely at the forefront that you will welcome:
Speed-Ups during missions now extend to walking speed as well!

No more sitting for ages, waiting for the elevator to reach a different floor, listening to cheesy music and not even able to exchange trivia about your cultures or recent happenings with your companions!
But there's so much more, too!

- Division of the battle field into 3 lines.
- Items will have unique stats spreads.
- Armor Penetration - new stat - the opposite of the fun penetration.
- Unique Combat behavior - weapons will not hit random enemies. Melee weapons will start mowing enemies on their front line while.
- Ranged weapons will prefer the back and middle enemy lines.
- New two-stat-based weapon types are now possible! First ones to be such weapons are the Bows.
- Auto-skill and auto-heal toggles!
- Combat UI improvements
- Indicating enemies' damage type (Melee, Ranged)
- Buffs and Debuffs effects will be displayed over the target's HP bar

Still, not everything went as smoothly as we had hoped, so while we finish up a few kinks, we had to temporarily disable Reforging - a decision made so you wouldn't lose your materials needlessly while we haven't finished tweaking them. We will bring it back as soon as possible, hopefully next week!
Apart from any possible hotfixes, we are also working on important patches to further adjust the entirety of the system towards the Combat Revamp.
For now, though: prepare for your new reality of combat, Overseer, for War... has not yet finished changing.

PS: Current version of the Combat Revamp has a slightly reduced enemy combat prowess. They will attack less often compared to your Champions. In the next updates their attacks will be brought back to the original design, which will be the same as you will see on your armaments.
Give it a go, let the new combat mechanics sink in, level up your girls and their equipment, fiddle around with skills and tactics. Don't forget to let us know what are your thoughts!

From the trenches,

Hello everyone! We have published the 0.4.0 update.
This update is expanding on the last update, the questing update.

Because the last update was mostly focusing on the backend of the game, last month we could more focus on creating actual content for the game. We have created a few NPCs with more properly fleshed out questlines and made cutscenes for them!




This update is best experienced blind, so there won't be extra detailed patch notes this time around. To see what is new, just start a new game! There should play a new cutscene at the beginning.

Currently we have added one major NPC quest line, but we plan to add more in the future. The quest line can be found in the summer island



If you missed the last update, below are instructions on how to use the Journal.

When completing your Quests, you can check on them using your Journal
The Journal can be accessed any time by pressing "ESC" on keyboard or the "Menu" button on an Xbox controller (That's the hamburger button with 3 lines!)

The Journal shows the current island's Quests on that day and the Objectives you have for them.




Most of the Panda team will be enjoying their well deserved summer breaks in July, so there won't be another update this month. We plan to resume regular updates by the end of autumn, see you then!


Thank you for taking your time to read through these patch notes, and playing our game!
Big Thanks to all of you who have purchased and/or wishilisted our game.

- From everyone at the Panda Games Team

The PGS 2 Tournament will now officially feature Taego into our global PUBG Esports' map pool. Please note that the new map will have a lower ratio compared to our classic maps as it is gradually introduced.

Moreover, PGS 2 will be running with patch #24.2 where we will be seeing Panzerfaust and Mortar in the tournament! We can't wait to see how these new items will impact the game's meta. Rest assured, we will closely monitor community feedback to provide the best competitive gameplay experience.

Based on recent battle statistics and community feedback, we'll be rolling out the following balance to units on July 13.

1. The Modao Battalion is a polearm-type unit and can equip all polearm doctrines (apart from Charge ones).
2. The damage dealt by [Modao Defense], [Modao March] and [Carnage] is now considered as Brace damage.
3. Slightly increased the brace hitbox of [Modao Defense].

1. Changes to [Very Heavy Armor]: Gain immunity to Dazed while attacking. Grants an initial damage reduction to all types of damage of 48%. Each hit taken reduces the damage reduction by 2.5%, down to 18% after 12 hits.
2. Greatly increased the block break of flail attacks, so that they can break through the block of shield units in a single hit.
3. Flail attacks reduce the enemy's defenses by 10% until they retreat.

Changes to [Very Heavy Armor]: Gain immunity to Dazed while attacking. Grants an initial damage reduction to all types of damage of 48%. Each hit taken reduces the damage reduction by 2.5%, down to 18% after 12 hits.

Reduced the speed at which they turn while moving or during Brace, making it more difficult for them to quickly turn and follow the enemy's movement.
