- A bug that caused the lower limit on the number of mission points awarded for capturing a zone to not apply in all game modes has been fixed.
- A bug that caused additional mission points for each player involved in captures to not be added to the pool of points which are split between all players in the zone in all game modes has been fixed.
- A bug that caused mission point multipliers for damage and destruction of bases to cease varying from 0.6 to 2.5 depending on vehicle Rank and game mode and become 1 everywhere has been fixed.
- A bug that caused mission points in Air Simulator Battles to start being awarded again for destroying players who had just spawned in on the airfield and had not earned any points yet has been fixed.
- A bug that caused the spectator camera in Ground Realistic Battles to not automatically switch from the destroyed vehicle to a next vehicle of the player has been fixed.
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.

Why does this look like a shadow nerf to sim rewards, like what, if I shoot down someone who hadn’t done anything I won’t get rewarded ? I really hope there is a reasonable and low time limit to “just spawned” that won’t prevent rightfully earned points to be awarded
@Stona_WT
Can you actually break down the point system for capping instead of making us work it out ourselves?
Previously it was 600 points if you capped non stop or a lesser amount if you joined slightly later, for a minimum of 200. So 2 players flying together onto the cap could get 600 each.
2 hours ago it seems like it’s 660 points divided by all players on the cap. If you make it in the last second you get… three points :(
That is a horrible nerf…
200 points out of the 1050 points you need to get “max” rewards is hardly game breaking… especially when it’s well documented that air sim rewards still only give you 92% of what you should get from Useful Actions even with a 100% activity game.
Players are begging for changes to Air Sim… instead we just get punished.

Million+1 bugs in sim, a not insignificant number are veritably game breaking (see rendering issues, which I’d linked previously when it was claimed to be fixed; objectives breaking; vehicles driving underground and mach 1.3 cl-13 meteors)?
“I sleep.”
A ‘bug’ that encourages people to engage in PvP and fight to the bitter end for a 200 point reward (corresponding to 200 points out of the maximum 1050 you can earn for a total of 92% reward, and its impact diminishes rapidly the closer it brings one to 1050 (only 2% reward going from 800 to 1050!))
Must fix.

I just capped with three other players.
Points :
378
310
200
and mine : 218.
I hit the cap when it was about 25% done, this would normally give me about 400 points.
Conclusion : 200 minimum is back but reward is now :
300 points per player/time on cap.
cap from 0-100 should give you 350
cap from 25-100 should give you 275
cap from 50-100 should give you 175
and 75-100 should give you atleast 100
and thats with 2 other players on cap
So I just screenshot the enemy as they capped…
1 person got 600.
1 person got 200…
So back to how it was??
So confused.
Gaijin ususlly sells underperforming vehicles in these smaller sales. Underperforming sales wise*. The t80u e1 is pretty much as p2w as a premium can be since its a direct upgrade in gun handling and thermals with no drawbacks compared to 11.7 TT t80 and the squadron one, so it probably sells very well.
Clickbait being on sale is vile
