Non-critical Chat Bug Discovered

Community Technical Support Gameplay Problems & Advice

Here’s how to reproduce:

  1. Type a message (E.g. “War Thunder has a lot of bugs!”) in the chat box but don’t submit
  2. Get spawned in the air as a bomber (or fighter but not tested)
  3. The chat text box will be empty, but click it anyways and press return. This will submit the message “War Thunder has a lot of bugs!” that you typed previously even though the text box remains empty.
  4. After returning to your tank, click the chat text box, type anything (E.g. " Please fix existing issues before making questionable changes to maps again."), and press return. Your previous message will be reposted with whatever you just typed following it. From my example, the result will be a chat message that reads “War Thunder has a lot of bugs! Please fix existing issues before making questionable changes to maps again.”

Not me but yourself in danger, just joking obviously.

Bombers should focus on destroying ground targets instead of hacking the chat box.

I was typing out a message to help my team but wasn’t able to hit “enter” before spawning in a bomber. When I saw my message disappeared from the text box, I pressed “enter” to close the box to focus on bombing just to see what I wrote prior to spawning in the bomber appear in the chat. After my run and returning to my tank I wanted to add a small amount of additional information gained from being in the bomber, but my previous chat message was sent again along w/ the added info.

Not a huge issue, but this game has very little communication or teamwork, so it sucks to have a bug affect the communication I try have w/ teammates. Like, I already cannot send two messages back to back without getting a warning that I’m spamming the chat lol.
