La

Royale is almost completed! Today we show some visual improvements and new mechanics that will make War Thunder look even better!

Missile incoming

For the La Royale update, we not only updated flight physics for most anti-aircraft and anti-tank missiles, but also completely redid the flight effects for all missiles in the game. So, for example, the jet flame and smoke effects of missile engines have improved, and for supersonic missiles the “Mach diamonds” effect has been added. For multi-engine missiles we added authentic effects when minor engines run, as well as adjust their positions.

Some wire-guided ATGMs now have a wire trailing behind them. Missile tracers were also completely redone. Check this out!

Fragmentation!

Thank you for your feedback on the suspension and grip testing!

The system requires improvement and will not be implemented in the upcoming update.

On June 6th, 1944 over 150,000 Allied soldiers landed on the beaches of Normandy under heavy fire from German fortifications. Opening a second front in Western Europe was one of the most important events in World War II and led to the Allied victory in less than a year.

The first Sunday of June in Canada is dedicated to celebrating the country’s armed forces. Canada participated in both World Wars, and by 1945 it had the fourth largest air force and fifth largest navy in the world. Since then the Canadian Armed Forces have participated in numerous operations across the world — usually as a part of international coalitions.

HMCS Haida temporarily available for Golden Eagles

From June 2nd (9:00 GMT) until June 5th (9:00 GMT)

As part of the celebrations, HMCS Haida will be available for purchase with Golden Eagles. It is a Tribal-class destroyer of the Royal Canadian Navy, which served through WWII and the Korean War where it destroyed the first of two North Korean trains in January 1953. This p...

My wild guess - sound mod you used is not updated? It's best to ask author of the modification (In 99% you can find them on live.warthunder.com

Or you can search for help in this forum section: https://forum.warthunder.com/index.php?/forum/672-war-thunder-live-community/

New topic (after today's dev server update)

Tankers, in this Dev test, we’ve clarified the formula for calculating the suspension of all tracked and wheeled chassis. In gameplay, this change will be noticeable primarily in the sideways traction of vehicles on sloped surfaces. A heavy vehicle will more likely start sliding down a steep slope when placed sideways.

First of all, we’ve made this behavior more realistic based on your feedback. This behavior will also help in dealing with situations where players may have driven over boundaries of maps or in positions that were clearly not meant to be reached by design.

Try it out and tell us your impressions. Found problematic areas of maps which were negatively affected by this new behavior? We would be grateful for screenshots of such places in the game.

We understand that this change can have an ambiguous effect on gameplay, so we will rely on your feedback in our decision to i...

Survey added!

Meet the Bretagne-class Lorraine battleship, the pinnacle of the French bluewater tech tree in the upcoming La Royale update!

Lorraine, battleship, France, rank V

Features:

340mm main guns


Very capable AA artillery


Mediocre protection

History

In 1912 France issued an ambitious shipbuilding program for the construction of 17 new battleships, three of which were immediately funded. The lack of the necessary shipbuilding infrastructure to start building ships with a longer hull than the current Courbet-class dreadnoughts forced the Naval Council to acquiesce in the same displacement for new ships, but the main caliber artillery was increased from 305 to 340 mm. All three ships of the series - the leader ship Bretagne, the Provence and the latest Lorraine ...

The Air forces of the Ottoman Empire were founded on June 1st, 1911, and by the end of 1916 they commanded 90 aircraft. Mustafa Kemal Atatürk, the founder of the Turkish Republic, paid special attention to the Air Force of his country, and his adopted daughter Sabiha Gökçen became one of the first female pilots of military aircraft. Today the Turkish Air Force enlists over 50 thousand people and has over 500 aircraft.

From June 1st (9:00 GMT) until June 5th (9:00 GMT)

Т129 temporarily available for Golden Eagles

To commemorate this day, during the event the Turkish helicopter T129 ATAK will be available for purchase for Golden Eagles. It is a modification of the Italian A129 Mangus...

Updated: in the “Events and Tournaments” tab we launched “Testing the tank tracks” (AB/RB), where you can get a better feel of this mechanic in suitable locations. You’ll get an invitation to participate in a survey!

The Republic of South Africa was one of the first countries to employ wheeled tanks. As it turns out, this configuration is just better suited for the vast expanses of South Africa than the conventional tracked one, and the good news is that there are quite a few wheeled tanks for you to try in War Thunder. Today we’ll share some tips on how to use these speedy vehicles to bring your team to victory!

Don't forget - you can now activate video subtitles for seven languages!

We present details on the revised physics of guided missiles with line-of-sight guidance in the La Royale update.

We continue to refine the physical model of the weapons in the game. Today we would like to talk about the new reworked physics of missiles guided by the three-point method guidance, that is, guided using line of sight, which we have prepared for the La Royale major update.

The current physics of line-of-sight missiles affects the missile's skyplane acceleration directly, bypassing the simulation of controls.

The current simplified implementation of the physical model allows the missile to go beyond the available overload and hit targets with which the missile should not have enough maneuverability available.

The new physical mod...

The Freccia VBM is an Italian IFV with a rapid fire cannon and fire-and-forget anti-tank missiles Spike-MR. Meet the new top tier in ground battles in the upcoming La Royale update!

Freccia VBM, light tank, Italy, rank VII

Features:

8 Spike-MR fire-and-forget missiles


Good mobility

History

The Freccia VBM (Veicolo Blindato Medio - “medium armored vehicle”) Infantry fighting vehicle was built on the chassis of the Centauro B1 tank destroyer and designed to support these vehicles on the battlefield. The Freccia VBM has a modified Hifist Plus turret, a further development of the Dardo IFV turret. The turret is equipped with a 25-mm Oerlikon cannon, on the sides of the turret are launchers for Israeli-made Spike missiles. The vehicle has be...

You have few hours to re-think what you are typing here.

I do not want to see any copy-paste topic, this one will be re-open later, after you will calm down (and we will punish rule-breakers).

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 in the website special section.

This time the list of improvements is smaller than usual: we’re very busy preparing the upcoming major update!

Please note that we are currently in the middle of testing the next major update La Royale. It will last until June 1st, 7:00 GMT. Learn more about participating on it on our forums.

Naval Hit Camera

We intended to release this improvement in the La Royale major update, but decided to hurry up with it to make your naval battles more comfortable ASAP. Now when you damage an enemy, the hit camera will display a dynamic water line, showing the depth, trim, and heel of the opp...
