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.

How about you fix all other bug reports that are over a year long and aren’t backed by CCs?

Legit long overdue

Yeah, it’s kinda sad that there are hundreds of bug reports “Accepted” for months and years to no avail; and only when a Premium version and/or a big CC breaks havoc, they actually fix it, and not even every time.

Still glad to see this fix at last after so many years! She’ll, penetration and spalling should be next.

Huge W moment Gaijin, this was long overdue for the HSTVL, now the RDF/LT just needs it’s add on side armour, thermals sight box modelled next to gun, both of their gun depression fixed, and smoke launchers… And then it’d consider it.

It is ludicrous how sometimes we need multiple primary documents, CC video with thousands of likes to get something fixed, and sometimes single mention in some questionable document is enough.

You see how long it took to fix just one of the inaccuracies on the HSTVL? Merkavas and all the NATO tanks with glaring armor inaccuracies will be fixed in 2030.
