How can I switch back to % crew amount in naval battles?
How can I switch back to old crew management table in hangar?
Thx.

Why I cannot see amount of XP gained in vehicle’s crew, only bar? Why I cannot switch between naval, air and ground crew in crew management table?
Give me back old table! Nobody ask for that new one.

Will Preset M and/or Preset L make an appearance in War Thunder? On-screen Indicator from DLSS Swapper shows War Thunder’s DLSS is still the older Preset K version.

Anything new on the 2PL receiving its spall liners?

Also @SPANISH_AVENGER, they updated the Ariete’s armor with .9 update just now.

The values are a bit better, now the hull front is very strong against HEAT:

Spoiler

And just a bit better against KE ammo (should be fine against autocannons unlike before ):

Spoiler

The naked turret is 10mm weaker:

Spoiler

But the WAR kit gives you 80mm more protection against KE shells ( still low considerind that the WAR kit was made to counter them but a bit better ):

Spoiler

Now it will be a fine long range sniper, or at least you should be aple to peak over a hill and not be 1 KO from even a random shot aimed at you.

And what about adding a way to disable motion blur on console? This is pure trash since last update where it was added

Thank you very much for the update!

Hmmm, the WAR changes are a bit underwhelming so far, but it’s good to see they are at least finally addressing them!

Anyone else having problems getting in? crashes every single time i try to load in. playing on Windows 11. please help

That’s good news. Thanks!

+1 I agree with everything you posted. While the new look and graphical display on the vehicle is nice, we have less information overall. Another thing that I do NOT like is that I cannot view the crew levels for Land Sea and Air at the same time now. That needs to come back.

Could you do me another favour?

Could you now show the Cheeks + WAR from a slightly lower angle, to simulate a ground level/LOS shot?

Please create thread with more info here:

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):

Spoiler

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
