Fixing a bug in the displaying of contacts
This issue might occur when the resolution of the game doesn’t match the physical resolution of your monitor. Air targets, in this case, could behave incorrectly and disappear even at a relatively close distance.
We investigated the reason for this bug which was caused by the complex system of rendering contacts and have now fixed it. Now enemies will not hide from you (and you from them).

In January 1945, the Vistula-Oder offensive by the Soviet army began to liberate the western part of Poland and provide a further advance by troops into German territory. The operation became perhaps the most intensive strategic offensive operation in the history of modern Europe. Possessing total air superiority and a significant advantage in manpower and armored vehicles, the troops of the Red Army, as well as the Polish formations that came under the command of the USSR, threw back the Wehrmacht forces with powerful blows beyond the border of Germany. An Allied victory became just a matter of time.

Complete the task from 11:00 GMT on the 10th of January until 11:30 GMT on the 13th of January and get the reward!

Active aircraft and air defense unit supply from the USSR created significant difficulties for the US Air Forces during the Vietnam War. The appearance in the skies of the latest Soviet MiG-21 fighters was a key factor in launching an active operation to eliminate this threat.

During operation “Bolo”, the F-4 Phantom II was demonstrating normal strike aircraft behavior, luring into the sky and destroying more than seven MiG-21’s of the North Vietnamese Air Force without casualties to the US aircraft.

A reminder about the new bug reporting service. We already told you about it last time but we would like to remind you about it this time too. Now, our projects have a convenient service through which you can report bugs right in the game. If you come across a report with the same problem as yours, mark it with “I have the same problem!”. This way, frequently occuring bugs won’t go unnoticed.
https://community.gaijin.net/issues/p/warthunder
For now, the forum is also still available for bug reports but soon we intend fully switching to a new service for collecting bug reports. You can get to the service directly from the game by clicking: “Community → Report an issue”.

The Wehrmacht's offensive against the USSR was interrupted by numerous Soviet counter-offensive operations. One of the most notable was a liberation of the Kerch peninsula by the landing troops from the Black Sea Fleet. The following counter-offensive was expected to set Sevastopol and the whole Crimea free from the invaders, however it was bogged down and, after a series of defeats in May 1942, Soviet forces were thrown back from the peninsula.

Complete the battle task until 11:30 GMT on the 29th of December to get the reward!

Rewards Completing the “Battle of the Kerch Peninsula” task will bring you a battle trophy with one of the following rewards:
