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.
@ Stona_WT
I want to know the justification for the developers removing the laser warning system and electro-optical targeting from the 96B. The 96B I purchased wasn’t a small investment, and I hope the developers can provide an official explanation as to why these features were present on the test server, and even after the official server update, we still had them. Yet, just two days later, the developers removed them. I simply want to know the reasoning behind this. Either the developers should keep the equipment and increase the vehicle’s battle rating to 12.0 (which I can accept), or maintain it at 11.7. However, as consumers, we deserve an explanation or compensation, such as Gaijin Coins for players who purchased the 96B (after all, it’s just virtual currency).
Totally agree. I purchased the ZTZ-96B after officially updated to avoid there might be some items different from the test server. How can user know you guys dare to get 96B a nerf just a few days after the update? You guys show no respect at all towards the players and consumers. Even on WT wiki, 96B is still marked as having LWS.
How about the dev’s just decide to fix the sounds and then leave them as is once fixed, instead of updating them every fecking update?
4 years ago they were great, no problem figuring out where enemy vehicles could be. But the constant tinkering with it, causes nothing but frustrations.
@Stona_WT Do we know when F-2A will get its target filter? I was really excited to use one of the main features brought in this update. The bug report was accepted 5 days ago but it’s still open.
So considering the fact the T-90M was already able to be heard a crazy almost 300 meters away, does this mean now it can be heard when it spawns in across the map?
I’m just going to ask for something simple. Would it be possible to fix the problem of the extreme FPS drop just from looking at trees? On all the damn maps that have been improved, looking at trees causes a drop of more than 70 or 80 FPS.
