Aircraft

  • F-14 (all variants), Mirage-2000C S5, Tornado F3/ADV, F-4J/K/M FGR, F-1, T-2 (aircraft with radars without All-Aspect PD mode) — now have manual selection of “ACM” and “ACM PD HDN” modes for radar in ACM mode. While in tracking mode, radars still use automatic waveform management. Aircraft radars with All-Aspect PD mode still only use this mode in ACM.
  • MiG-29 (all variants), Yak-141, Su-27, F-16 (all variants), F-15A, Mirage-2000 5F, AV-8B Plus Italy, F-20 Tigershark, F-4EJ Kai, JA37 (all variants), JAS 39 (all variants) — corrected the name of the radar ACM mode — “PD ACM” instead of “PD AUT”.

Other

  • A bug that caused the game to freeze during startup when opening a dialog box has been fixed.

The current provided changelog reflects the major changes within the game as part of this Update. Some updates, additions and fixes may not be listed in the provided notes. War Thunder is constantly improving and specific fixes may be implemented without the client being updated.

Always nice to see the devs look at my bug reports and ignore the most important parts. See, I even went to the trouble of leaving a link to the accurate bug report for a forwards top speed of 90kph:

The 90kph contains more up-to-date information from the manufacturer and a French army document among other things.

@Stona_WT any timeframe on when the devs are going to be finally implementing the Leclerc’s top speed accurately? Or are the devs just in a habit of keeping it in a gimped state?

Why cant you just give experienced players the option to manage this manually? Engine controls are usually managed by the “instructor”, but the option exists to enable MEC. Why not do it similarly for radars?

Just isn’t possible, 90kph is the over speed or non governed speed at 3100 engine rpm.

CV90120 my baby!

WHY!?

10

it says in the report already (1.6) without its governor fitted to the engine
other wise all tanks could go faster…
leopards could go 100 kp/h

Most tanks can go faster then the max stated speed, but the life span of the engine/tracks etc will decrease massively

so your most accurate thing is the 71/72 it got and not the possible 90 without limiter etc

I’d much rather be able to manually switch by lock type manually, what good is the RIO in the F-14 right now?

12

wont matter if the acceleration doesn’t get fixed hoping to see the Leclerc’s proper hyperbar engine soon

I personally feel the auto always select’s the wrong mode

Why locking the Aircraft Flying towards me at mach 1 wen there are stationary flares 10km behind said aircraft

Also even in Auto almost sure pd should have priority over the non pd mode

Are we allowed to use Jane’s as a source when submitting bug reports? I had previously been told no, but I understand policy changes.

I know, but might as well ask.

At least it’s a semi-credible source this time. When they halved the optics of the Rooivalk and Apaches, iirc their source was an random professor, whose research articles are published in a predatory journals…

We don’t accept Janes as the sole source of a report from which to make a change as a secondary source as it’s often inaccurate. It can be used however as an additional supporting source if there are multiple other sources that agree.

In this case, there were several sources that agreed with the data. But we have removed the Janes source from the list.

The developers do not make changes solely based on Janes. It will always be multiple sources.

I could’ve sworn I saw Conqueror’s APDS change on the patch notes, was that one removed?

Yes.

ah rip the changes completely broke the black prince ability to neutral steer while sitting still, can still turn while moving but it hesitates and stops and starts while switching gears.
Don’t have time to do a bug report if it hasn’t been done already so hopefully someone can check that out

Janes was used as the sole source for the Begleitpanzer engine change. Was this a mistake?

Also, the report only lists Janes as a source, when two unrelated secondary sources are required.
