The biggest feature of this update is the equipment system.

After playing the game for a little while, you'll unlock the equipments system, and as you continue to play, you'll unlock more and more part of it

Once the equipment system is unlock, you'll be able to found during your run, item that you can equip.




Equipment you own, possess both a level and a tier.
Level start at 1 and can be increased up to 10 using Soul-coin.
Once your equipment is level 10, you can use both Soul-coin and crafting material to increase it's Tier.
Tier start at F. An increase in tier greatly increase the strength of a modifiers effect.




Each item have a main modifier, and a variety of secondary modifiers, both positive and negative.

Modifier can be learn by recycling a pierce of equipment.
Learnt modifier can then be crafted on any compatible equipment that you own.

Depending on their modifiers, an item will have an "Soul-Level" requirement before it activate during a run.
Strong modifier tend to increase this level, while negative one will reduce it.

Recycling item will refund all the soul-coin you invested in the item and additional crafting material, used in modifier crafting and item upgrading.




Upon completing certain challenge, you'll found Unique equipment, which are powerful item that have defined effect.
They are usualy stronger, but lack the flexibility of normal items.


You can have any number of loadout of equipment as you wish, this allow to quickly and easily swap between very different build without having to equip & unequip all the item you need.






Another big feature are weapon modifier.

They were already partly added into the game, with Soul-card like Ice-spirit or Fractal, but they were general modifier.
Now, they are equipable of some specifics weapons.
To compensate the fact they no longer affect all weapons, thay got greatly buffed
(Projectile that originate from fractal now deal the full damage of the original projectile

Weapon modifier equiping is done in the Game-menu, inside the Weapon tab.

They are equipped on your most efficient weapon by default (depending on the modifier effect and each weapon Kill/DPS/AVG damage stat)
For example, Thunder spirit will be equipped on the highest avg damage since it doesn't scale with attack speed, Fire spirit will equip on highest DPS, divine smite on the highest kill count, while ice spirit will attach to the highest attack speed weapon by default

Hey all! This week, I've got a quick update regarding sprites! Back in November of 2023, when we first introduced Chieri as Lumi, I mentioned that story characters like Crow and Chieri would have unique map sprites when reclassed. Today, I wanted to show you some screenshots of what that actually looks like in-engine!

While I did say that I would be posting a gameplay video this week, we've made the decision to push that back another week or two. Currently, we're doing a massive sound effect pass, and sound quality across the game is very inconsistent. My two options were to play through the game without audio, or delay the video until we're done with that, and I chose the latter. Apologies to all who were looking forward to that; I'll have to ask for a little more of your patience!



Now, back to the main topic: I've taken us back to the Reclass screen today to take a look at some class outfits for Chieri! We're working through making these for all of our story characters, but they're currently a slightly lower priority than other tasks, so the only two I can show off today are Enchanter and Archer. I've also performed some developer trickery to get a look at the back sprites as well!



We're still hard at work getting everything ready for the closed beta test, and that involves a lot of work which is difficult to show off in a weekly update format, but I ask once again for your patience! Thanks as always for tuning in, and I'll see you next week!

Dear Builders,

It's a small update, with the following changes:

Dear Builders,

New Map - Village

In testing I noticed that the game had become very easy. I decided to make the start of a match a bit more challenging but after getting upgrades the game becomes relatively easy. This adds to the power fantasy making you go from nothing to feeling almost unkillable. I am trying to make a fun satisfying game but do still want to provide some challenge.


To provide some more needed challenge I did some VERY basic difficulty settings on the level select screen.
Max Health, Power Up Drop Rates, and Mutant Health are affected by difficulty.

As for health on Easy you have 100, Medium is 75, and Hard is 50

The Tank zombie now does 50 damage instead of 25. I did this as the move and attack speed is very slow so it shouldn't still be too much of a threat just need to make sure to pay attention.

Removed one upgrade to the health upgrade to 3 instead of 4 for 3 extra hits.

Today, we’ll be going over the bug fixes and improvements that we’ve made to the game over the past 2 weeks. Let’s take a look!

If you’ve found a bug that you’d like to report, you can do so on our community bug reporting platform.


We never stop working on making War Thunder’s UI as good as possible. We recently added the ability to place and remove vehicles from a crew slot by simply dragging them with a mouse. This time, we’ve expanded this feature, as you can now drag and drop vehicles into different slots as well.



Vehicles and crew slots no longer display buttons — instead, we’ve added a new context menu that opens on click and offers full functionality for interacting with vehicles or crews.

And finally, choosing vehicles to respawn in battle has become easier. You no longer need to try and pick out a specific interface element with the cursor — anything related to this vehicle will do, be it its icon, cost in SP, or crew level!




In the Confrontation mode in Air Simulator Battles, a bug that affected all maps and all Battle Ratings was discovered. Under certain conditions, one of the teams did not have missions to protect bombers; the enemy accordingly did not have missions to destroy bombers. There were some exceptions to this: naval bombers attacking naval vehicles appeared as expected, and missions with them worked correctly. So on maps without naval enemies, such as Sinai or Stalingrad, this issue was especially noticeable.

We found the bug that caused this and fixed it.




We’ve reworked the delay time for the assault fuse to ensure minimal delay while maintaining the safety of low-altitude bomb releases. This will reduce the likelihood of the target leaving the kill zone of the bomb.

We changed the way the delay time works depending on the mass of the explosive in the bomb. With its mass up to 10 kg, the delay time will be only 1.5s, and then it will gradually increase. Upon reaching 40 kg of explosives, the delay time will be 2.7s, 120 kg — 3s, 300 kg — 3.5s, 500 kg — 4.5s, 2000 kg — 6s, and 5000 kg — 7s. This is the maximum delay time of the assault fuse: for all larger bombs, it’s 7s.

You can find the full list of fixes and improvements in each separate update note. Here’s some more: The exhaust of a vehicle’s engine that is turned off is no longer shown to other players, a crew sound message when the FCS is damaged has been added, and bananas scattered around the hangar have been removed.

• Update 2.37.0.72
  
• Update 2.37.0.74
  
• Update 2.37.0.84

• Tiger II (P) — weight has been increased from 68 to 68.5t. (Report).
  
• Maus, E-100 — a bug with the difference in the strength of the breech of the gun compared to other tanks has been fixed.
  
• Leopard 2 PL, Leopard 2 PSO — the muzzle velocity of the DM11 shell has been increased from 970 to 980 m/s. (Report).
  
• M247 — the radius of the M822 shell’s radio fuze has been increased from 4 to 6.5 m. (Report).

• Barak II — a bug that caused the infrared channel to be missing when using IR-guided bombs has been fixed.
  
• AIM-120A, AIM-120B — the delay after launch until missile control begins has been increased from 0.5 to 0.6s. (Report).
  
• Mirage 2000-5F — a bug with the lack of indication of the launch range for a maneuverable target on the radar indicator has been fixed. (Report).
  
• Delay time for the assault fuse of bombs has been decreased. Depending on the mass of explosives, the delay of the bomb fuse will be: 10 kg and below — 1.5s, 40 kg — 2.7s, 120 kg — 3s, 300 kg — 3.5s, 500 kg — 4.5s, 2000 kg — 6s, and 5000 kg and above — 7s.

• Pfeil, MC 485, ML 1383, USS Flagstaff, PT-812 — a bug that disabled the survivability option when there was a crew shortage has been fixed.

• For modern French ground vehicles, the Three-tone CARC Camouflage has been replaced by a Three-tone Camouflage with refined colors in accordance with French Army standards.

• The ability to move vehicles from one crew slot to another by dragging it with the mouse has been added.
  
• The button to change a vehicle, modifications, and other functions in the crewslots has been removed. Instead, when you hover over a slot, the cursor changes to tell you that you can open a drop-down menu by pressing LMB or a gamepad button.
  
• The crew block in the crewslots has been changed:
  
  • The button that opened the crew rearrangement menu has been removed.
    
  • When hovering over the crew block, the cursor changes indicating that a drop-down crew interaction menu can be opened.
    
  • Information about the crew is opened not by hovering, but by pressing any mouse button.
• The ability to select a vehicle to spawn in by clicking any element related to it, such as vehicle icon, its SP cost or crew level has been added.

• A bug in the “Confrontation” mode in Air SB that caused players of one of the teams to not receive tasks to escort bombers, and their opponents to not receive tasks to destroy bombers has been fixed. This bug concerned bombers that did not attack the fleet.
  
• The “Can-do Approach” Special Task for Ground Simulator Battles has been removed. (Report).
  
• Cleaned up bananas scattered around the hangar.

Patch notes reflect only key changes, meaning they may not include a complete list of all improvements made. Additionally, War Thunder is constantly being updated and some changes may not require an update. Changes reflected in patch notes are formed by taking reactions and requests of the community from the bug reporting service, forums and other official platforms into account. Bug fixes and changes are implemented in order of importance, for example a game-breaking bug will be worked on and implemented sooner.

Our heart beats increase! Memoriapolis will be available in early access on August 29, 2024.
Whether you are an early builder or a newcomer, we are building this adventure together.

Your enthusiasm and feedback during playtests help us improve and enrich the gaming experience we propose.
We are deeply grateful for every wishlist addition, every comment, and every share.

Builders, history enthusiasts, playtesters, curious minds, gamers...
Thank you from the bottom of our hearts for your trust and support. We can't wait to share the next steps of this adventure with you.

That’s why we wanted to offer you an exclusive building.

Nacha and Riwal, our two artists, put their heads together, and although Riwal thought a unicorn statue would please everyone, they decided to work together to create the "Statue of the Founder’s."



This statue honors the founders of your city. The residents will love living nearby to admire two of the city's most illustrious figures.

By supporting us and purchasing Memoriapolis during early access, you will exclusively receive the "Statue of the Founder’s," which will not be available in the final version of the game.

See you soon, builders!
