• Minor code updates and refactoring

## Devoted Rejects,
Here are the notes for Hotfix #32 which just went live on Steam and will be out shortly on our other platforms!

• Fixed a crash which would happen when reaching the mid-event in the Warren 6-19 mission if the “Mostly ranged Enemies” Maelstrom modifier was active.
  
• Fixed an issue where the crash reporter was assigning the wrong category to crashes.

In this blog we’ll be taking a look at a familiar helicopter silhouette with a distinctly British twist. Meet the Wessex HU.5, which will soon be coming to the game in the next War Thunder major update. This important domestic rotary-winged icon will soon reinforce the British helicopter tree! 


Features:

• AS.11 and AS.12 AGMs.
  
• Turboshaft engine.
  
• Improved flight performance.

Vehicle History
[expand type=details]
Westland Helicopters began work on the Wessex in the late 1950s after the relative success of their previous American origin Dragonfly and Whirlwind licence built designs. Following the acquisition rights to produce the Sikorsky S58/H-34, a singular S58 was transferred to Britain as a development and template vehicle. By 1958, a domestically produced and redeveloped version powered by a Napier Gazelle turboshaft engine, rather than the piston engine of the Sikorsky design, designated the Wessex HAS.1 (Helicopter Anti-Submarine), would take to the skies for the first time. Entering service initially with the Royal Navy, the Royal Air Force would later adopt the type too. In addition to this, the Royal Australian Navy and several other customers that Westland could sell too.

The HAS.3 would further enhance the systems on board the Wessex, followed by the HU.5 Commando variant. Primarily a troop transport and also utilised in the Search and Rescue role, the HU.5 employed a further improved power plant in the form of two Rolls-Royce Gnome engines. Serving all over the world from Cyprus, to the Indonesia–Malaysia conflict and the Falklands War, the Wessex was operated in utility, lift, transport and attack roles.

Retiring finally in the early 2000s, the Wessex was finally replaced in all major roles it maintained by the Westland Sea King which it had served alongside for many years.

The Wessex HU.5 is a British development of the already well known H-34 family. Domestically produced and improved, this modification is an attack variant of this famous helicopter that will provide a variety of ordinance options as well as a more powerful power plant. Let’s take a closer look!

While it might look visually quite similar to the H-34 that French and American pilots may be used too, the Wessex is quite a different beast under the hood! Powered by two Rolls-Royce Gnome engines, the Wessex has a significant power increase and performance over the Choctaw. The distinctive nose profile marks this helicopter’s main distinguishing feature compared to its piston engined counterpart. 




The Wessex also provides an expanded weapon arsenal over its counterparts, with both the AS.11 and AS.12 on offer. While these missiles can already be found on the Wasp, the Wessex can mount 2 of each at the same time. As well as this, you can take machine guns and unguided rockets to really maximise the flexibility that this helicopter offers. 

Interesting: The Westland Wessex served for 42 years in British service, one of the longest service lives of any British helicopter. It served in almost every major role, from Troop transport, Anti-Submarine warfare, Commando operations, Search and Rescue and even served as part of the “Queen's Flight”, carrying members of the Royal Family.

In your matches by Scott, Community Manager: “The Wessex will provide you with a very versatile all round platform to bridge the gaps between the existing British helicopters. It’s the polar opposite of the small and nimble Scout and Wasp, being significantly larger and more of a chunkier target, but you do however get to take the best of both of those and combine a loadout of AS.11s and AS.12s at once. Keep your distance initially and use your AS.12s first to deal with any SPAAs or stronger threats, then move in closer to utilise those AS.11s. Whilst you should not rely on them, the Wessex also has machine guns which can be useful in some situations for light targets or self defence. Giving you a great all rounder helicopter platform for your ground lineups.”

The Wessex will soon be coming in for land in the next War Thunder major update, bolstering the ranks of the British Helicopter tree. Keep your eyes on the news for more information about what else you can find coming soon in the next update!

Two years have pass since our final demo. 1 year and 3 month since this Steam page came to be. And finally we are here. Finally you will play our release version. Finally you shall rule.

We cannot be more happy to see you play what was a mere idea 5 years ago. And now you will play, rule, and create your own History !

Greetings, medievalists! The newest patch (0.16.22) is now live on all platforms. Please save your progress and restart your game client to update. You should be able to load normally and continue playing. If you have any problems, please let us know.

• Fixed several crash occurrences.
  
• Fixed the issue where settlers were not able to use slopes/ramps/ladders to enter the water, but were able to use them for exit.
  
• Fixed the issue where settlers were sometimes unable to fill the troughs with animal feed as the game automatically forbade said piles due to pathing issues.
  
• Fixed the issue where animals were still stuck in water upon their caravan return.

• Fish should spawn near a coast during the map generation. This also means that there is a 70% chance for a newly spawned fish to appear next to a coast on the existing saves.
  
• We’ve introduced temporary building ownership. Before, if the settler’s room or bed is too far and there is a bed closer to the settler, the settler would choose the closer bed. This resulted in settlers randomly losing ownership of beds. Now the settler will still choose a bed closer to them but the new bed will have a message that it is temporarily occupied. This can only happen if there are more beds than settlers on the map and a settler can only temporarily occupy a bed that was not assigned before. This fixes the issue where settlers would sometimes lose ownership of beds/rooms.

• Some of you reported an issue where settlers don’t want to tend to other settlers in certain situations. This is very hard to reproduce on our side and loading your reports solves the issue (as reloading the save fixes the issue). It would be very helpful if you notice any particular details on how to trigger this issue - do they ignore all of the settlers that require tending, is self tending working, did anything special happen before this issue appeared? Maybe settlers hunted something, maybe something was allowed/forbidden? Any repro steps on how to trigger the bug is greatly appreciated.
  
• It seems that the situation where you try to build a soil voxel and it crumbles upon completed construction still happens. As with the issue above, it’s close to impossible to reproduce this issue on our side. We’re working on a potential memory fix that may, in turn, solve this issue and some other stuff. In the meantime, if you encounter this bug, please provide as much info/context as possible. Quitting the game and starting the save will solve the issue.

• Snow appears on roofs/stairs/slopes even past winter season. This is not that simple an issue to solve but we are aware of its annoyance.
  
• Settlers will not choose the closest production building (if there are more of the same type), but the one that has a production set first in the global list of productions.

NOTE: Also, be sure to check this log for more potential misconceptions and common bug reports.

DISCLAIMER: The experimental and the main branch have the same version of the game. However, on the experimental branch, we decided to keep the Dev version of the game, and that means that a Dev log with red text will appear from time to time. This will help us get more info from your side when crashes and bug reports occur. If you are annoyed by this, please switch to the main branch to experience the game without the red text.

Foxy Voxel

-Some bugs fixed.
