Aircraft

  • IAR-81C (DB 605) — a bug that caused the aircraft to be hidden from the tech tree when the test-drive was active has been fixed. (Report).
  • ☢MiG-29SMT (9-19) — a bug that caused chaff to be missing from the available countermeasures has been fixed.

Ground Vehicles

  • Scimitar Mk.2 — Battle Rating in all game modes has been adjusted from 8.0 to 8.3. A bug that caused the machine gun muzzle flash to appear in the wrong place has been fixed. (Report). A bug that caused the gunner optics to be located inside the turret and have unlimited aiming angles has been fixed. (Report).

Nuclear Escalation

  • To balance the queues a few nation presets have been added to an early era battles (Battle Ratings 10.3-12.7), where Great Britain, Sweden and France can now play in the same team with the USSR and China, as well as a preset for 11.7-12.7 BR bracket where USA and Germany play versus all other nations.
  • Project 956 — a bug that sometimes caused the ship to ignore air targets 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.

At what point do you just realise that KH31s and KH58s shouldnt be in the game, its crazy how you go through all these hoops to balance NE event yet it all stems from KH31s and KH58s cake walking all over SAMs with its mach 4+ speeds, its almost like Asymmetrical balancing has F’d you over, hows that working out for you bvvd :D

the event was fine till you added in unbalanced ARMs and then forced a fixed MM setup, granted thats going away with this but holy moly start removing munitions instead of trying to balance engagement times or queue sizes or team sizes/nation compositions etc.

Why?

Please provide a single reason for it to be any higher than 8.0. Let alone maybe even 7.7?

Ah, this trashcan is getting up in BR before anyone can play a match with it , but we had to wait MONTHS for the BMPT to be adjusted & it’s still not where it belongs.

This company is ridiculous.

It’s really not funny anymore. I’ve stopped laughing at decisions like that, a long time ago .

The issue was that no one was playing Russia/China, and removing their ARMs would just make even fewer people want to play.

Adding more MM options is good.

Im just glad they made it useless before i sank time into it.
Got friends coming over later and only got 15k last night so was going to be late one.

The italian battle pass fiat is also hot garbage. Shatter pea shooter gun with added rockets that dont hit if too close to target as they are mounted too high on the vic.

the scimitar seemed extremely mediocre at 8.0, 8.3 is 100% DOA.
