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.

have you considered disabling sea state 9 in coastal battles?

Oh cool… I don’t have to count as many hippopotamuses before typing another message! woot!

MIM-146

MIM-146 gets a booster fix after 2 months while MIM-72E and G remain with a motor from an earlier version for the last 8 months.

Chaparral even dropped br due to this issue

This change is huge thank you!

Tu-2S-44, Tu-2S-44 (China), Tu-2S-59 — the M44 bombs have been replaced with the M43, with more explosives.

Mhm - whilst i am happy to read that you reversed the stealth nerfs of the Tu-2s from 23 months ago i am quite sure that you missed some (at least one) planes.

We have the Tu-2 (gift version, unnerfed?), the Tu-2s (which was not nerfed) and the Tu-1 also getting nerfed with the M44 bombs in March 2023.

You might want to adjust your text?

The main question would be if you plan to increase the BRs as the maximum TNT loadout increases significantly.

• Model------ BR------ TNT-44------TNT-43

• Tu-2S-44 - 5.3------ 1.19 -------- 2.03

• Tu-2S-49 - 5.7 ----- 1.19 -------- 2.03

• Tu-1 -------- 5.3 ----- 1.19 -------- 2.03

I mean you lowered the BR of the Tu-2S-44 from 5.7 to 5.3

A short reminder of the stealth nerf:

Late Tu-2s and Tu-1 nerfed via changing their FAB-1000 to FAB-1000M-44 - Air Battles - War Thunder - Official Forum

No, of course they want to keep these kinds of “fun” battles:

Because stabilized guns on a few more boats will certainly solve this problem. Gaijin logic.

For playability reasons

When whole Naval gamemode will be fixed for playability reasons?

Great, now the ADATS is clearly the best 11.7 AA in the game and should remain at it’s BR.

[굴러온]

It’s ironic that historically 85 mm ZiS-S-53 gun on Mk.85 turret has to be stabilized, but not stabilized in game since this update XD

[굴러온]

Where’s fixing about HMS Rondey? There’s plenty to be fixed AFAIK

• 75 mm anti-aircraft Type 88 gun
• 76 mm/40 F-34 gun
• 85 mm/54.6 ZIS-S-53 gun

I could see it being reasonable for Arcade, but for every game mode? Not a fan.

Bruhh un-historical buff is never a good point

Same for un-historical nerfs, such as 380+mm guns having comically bad accuracy with more dispersion than a funfair shotgun and shell rooms acting like nuclear bombs even when they acknowledged this should not be the case.

Turns out the developers admitted that they artificially, knowingly nerfed shell rooms

I could not be more disappointed. I thought this was mismodelling; a honest mistake they were unaware of. It turns out not to be the case. This game was built on the premise of faithfully modelling vehicles- yet we’ve come to a point now where the developers artificially alter and manipulate vehicle capabilities for “gameplay reasons”…? Ship shell rooms were designed in certain ways considering their real life behaviour. Many ships right now are borderline USELESS because the shell rooms that…

War thunder was suppossed to put realism and historical accuracy above all, and balance everything out via soft factors and Battle Ratings… now they are going around nerfing and buffing things like this left and right for “gameplay purposes” instead of balancing naturally with what they have.

A proper countdown is done with Mississippi’s . . . . ☻
