More improvements for SACLOS missiles are coming with the La Royale update to bring more balance and authenticity to missile duels.


Multi-missile beam riding


Hi guys! Today we continue to examine more details about the improvements to missiles in the game, and first of all we will talk about multi-missile fire. We tried to describe this technically complex topic first in simple words, followed by a more detailed description of the aspects of this improvement. Hope you like it!









Simple: in the upcoming La Royale update we’re going to improve beam-riding SACLOS missiles (see the vehicle list below) to make multi-missile fire more authentic, i.e. allowed in a short period of time. Previously, aircraft and ground vehicles ignored this limitation and missiles could be fired one after another, being all guided to the ta...

On June 10th, 1918 an Italian MAS 15 torpedo boat, commanded by lieutenant Luigi Rizzo, scouted an Austro-Hungarian dreadnought Szent István — and sank it with only two well-placed torpedo hits. It was a triumph for the Italian fleet, and since 1939 this date is celebrated as Italian Navy Day.

Hi all! Lately we have received a huge amount of feedback from players and have been hard at work analyzing, processing and preparing to answer your questions. The most heated discussion came from questions on the economy, and we will definitely answer these too once we’ve had time to look through them all! In addition to dozens of thousands of feedback messages from players, we received a long list of questions from our War Thunder content creators from YouTube, Twitch and other platforms. While we are still analyzing requests and suggestions from players, today we’ll answer some questions from our creators, maybe you’ll find answers to your questions here too. Let’s go!


Vehicles




Q.We are concerned about the comparatively low efficiency of the post-penetration effect of low-caliber HEAT rounds, for example on such vehicles as Ru 251, AUBL 74, leKPz M41, AML-90, PT-76, T92, etc.
