War Thunder "Ninth Wave" - Changelog

ohhh nooooo you right!!!

So now you can’t plan how to best spend your crew points now and you also don’t know which crew is trained to what and what level it is at.

So something you could easily do now you need 10 countries X 8 crews X 3 for air/naval/tanks X the vechicles you have!!!

Nice I have only to click 1202 times ;-)

That is a serious problem. You can’t access the other crews any longer. In order to spend crew points on ground, you now need to assign a tank to it, even if you don’t want to atm. Very cumbersome!

Also, you can’t check the ace status of the experted vehicles of that crew any longer. Seriously? Who programmed this? Where is the advantage of the new interface? I see only serious defects.

All the stuff I use regularly is GONE! WTF did you do?

At the gun level (basically face to face):

At full depression:

Better than before for sure, but I’ll still play it as an ambush tank with a slightly better chance of survival.

EDIT:

In a full uptier you’re still a light tank compared to those monster rounds, but if you can get an 11.7 or lower match you can try to surprise early T-72s, T-80s that will just rush around the map.

500mm KE, nice!!!

Now at least it can withstand: 3BM42, DM33, M829, L26, Type 1985, and lesser rounds. Until now, even those sliced through a WAR turret.

I still expected around ~550mm KE; but 500 is still a big improvement over the previous 420.

It seems we no longer have the option to carry three different shell types for the main armament in naval.

that’s going to be annoying for the navies that don’t carry VT. as they now have to choose between regular HE or anti air TF rounds

A full update without any French vehicle (and with French vehicles nerfs added). Yeah! :(

Oh come on, your F-16A was pre-released.

Why does the Japanese Me-210 still have an incorrect name. It is not Me 210 V-22, but Me 210 A-1 W.Nr.2102350 or Me 210 A-2 W.Nr.2102350.

Bug report: [DEV] Incorrect name of the Japanese Messerschmitt Me 210 // Gaijin.net // Issues

First it’s Dutch. Second, it’s top tier. Third, it’s air.

First, it is in the french tree. Second, it isn’t top tier. Third, deal with it.

Who pissed in your cereal today lmao

Since when did event vehicles count towards update totals?

Also you can’t see any more how many points you have acumulated in crew, nice

Glad to see the 210s finally added. And a big bunch of tier 1-4 stuff for Italy is very nice too. Good changes for naval but I’m still not playing it again until the spawn distance and aiming changes in arcade are reverted.

And if you don’t have the required crew level for this ace, the entire bar is not displayed now.

Please bring back the old crew window layout. The current design on the right side feels unintuitive, and the vertical arrangement is much harder to use compared to the previous horizontal one.

The submenu structure is also confusing and adds unnecessary complexity. Overall, this redesign makes navigation less efficient instead of improving it.

I strongly recommend reconsidering these changes or offering an option to switch back to the previous layout.

Wow… huge update… major texture patches, bunch of other stuff, followed by a HUGE 8 gb download. While I appreciate the efforts of the developers, especially being a programmer myself, I have to say I am not sure how much longer I will be able to support the game.

Just saying.

Honestly, I always try to find something positive in updates. I usually tell the community, “well, at least they improved this or that,” and so on. And sure — the new map, the new effects — maybe there are some solid technical improvements there.

But then, out of nowhere, you drop something like this Crew skill table rework, and it ends up removing half of the functionality.

Guys, this is not how updates should be released. Let users share their opinions. If you don’t want that, then at least let real players test the functionality first, gather feedback, and only then implement it. Not this approach of “we made it, we messed up, but now we’ll just leave it and people will get used to it.”

The Crew upgrade system used to be just as convenient as modifications. Now it’s pushed aside. You can’t clearly see how much free XP you have or your total XP, the buttons are too small, and the whole layout feels like something generated without any real UX consideration.

Please, developers — enough with this kind of approach.
