In this digest we would like to tell you about our continuing work on improvements and fixes in the game. You can find information about all updates that have been released in War Thunder on the website special section.

Released new updated sound model

Just recently we tested with you, improvements in the sound picture of a battle where distance to the source of the sound event began to play a more important role. In short: distant sounds are now better matched to their distance and as a bonus you get a better sense of sound events near you.

You liked this change and it has already been released for all players this week where you might definitely notice it, especially in combined battles. We continue to gather feedback on this specific update from all players including in the comments to this news article.

During World War I, tanks were used as breakthrough vehicles that tore through enemy defences and could negotiate obstacles like wide trenches. With time, though, their role on the battlefield shifted considerably. And when engineers gained the ability to mount powerful weapons on a fast and cheap wheeled chassis, a new type of combat vehicle was born… the wheeled tank.

The story of how Mitsubishi started making planes is pretty typical for a Japanese company of the time. This esteemed manufacturer made a foray into this specific industry after WW1, as did many others… but it took the company roughly two decades to find its footing there. Not all of their original designs were a success, so, for quite a while, Mitsubishi engineers had to make do by assembling aircraft and engines under license.
