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.

Iirc there was some clipping issues because of poor modelling, which isn’t a thing IRL. There was also balance concerns about how good its CAS loadout is.

speaking of hangars, can we please have an option to have a much faster transition between aircraft/tanks/ships? the camera being thrown around back and forth all the time gives me motion sickness. I’d rather just have a quick fade to black for half a second, then have the camera teleport immediately

The MiG 25 is bugged to all can be.

If you die while locking something, the radar becomes entirely disabled

At least in the test drive

You mean dive right?

Nah I was trying to test the R-40s when an Adats hit me because I was too close. Radar / irst wouldn’t come back on. I had to back out and go back in for it to work

Lmao just found another, if you are at Mach 3.04 and respawn, you spawn in at 1800 mph at your selected height XD

Safe to say at 1km up I instantly imploded

very nice update impenetrable BMBTs, half full Lobbys because gajin wants fast matchmaking instead of waiting 10 sec to have a full lobby and only having the option to play two vehicles if you have a bad run in a match is just bullshit make it at least 3 so the lobby is not half empty after 5 min. and then having the audacity to say spawnpeeking is a “feature”, like its crap thats just a boring “feature” honestly gajin fix your game or the players will rebel against you like with free fpe and parts
