Changing artillery strike in ground battles

Let us tell you about the reason for the upcoming changes first. Artillery in War Thunder was designed as a fairly effective method of pressure on the enemy that allows you to squeeze them out of their well selected position or make a particular section of the battlefield dangerous for a while. The mechanics work well enough but the occasional but memorable deaths from sighting shells can really spoil the impression of the gam... Read more

Airfield respawn for late jet bombers and strike aircraft in air RB Historically, many gaming mechanics in War Thunder were originally created for WWII and early Cold War vehicles, for example - air respawn for bombers and strike aircraft. However, many late period jet bombers and strike aircraft feature flight characteristics close to, or even similar to those of jet fighters. In this case, we consider air respawn closer to ground targets as an unreasonable advantage for such aircraft, since their efficiency is obvious both for players, and for gaming statistics. If later strike aviation is taking off and approaching targets together with fighters, their value for the team remains. That’s why we decided to revoke the air respawns for bombers and strike aircraft of ranks VI-VII in air Realistic Battles mode.

Currently, we see no need to ... Read more

The Battle of Stalingrad was one of the turning points in the history of World War II. The German offensive towards Stalingrad threatened the USSR with the loss of the Caucasian oil fields and the region itself, but the exhausting counterattacks of the Red Army prevented German plans. During months of intense action, Germany and Axis nations lost the initiative, and the last decisive blow from the Soviets resulted in an encirclement of German troops, followed by capitulation at the beginning of February 1943.

Complete the task from 11:00 GMT on the 2nd of February until 11:30 GMT on the 7th of February and get the reward!

Improved overcoming of obstacles

Trenches, embankments and other complex objects are sometimes no less dangerous for a tanker than enemy fire. From now on passing over them will be much safer. We found and fixed the bug where a vehicle might suddenly lose grip and hang on a fairly simple obstacle from which you didn’t expect such a trick.

To go into detail - it was due to an incorrect determination of the angle of inclination of the surface under the vehicle. We have c... Read more
