Introducing the next major update teaser for War Thunder - "Seek & Destroy"

Post

Hey everyone, thanks for all of your feedback regarding attack aircraft in Air Battles, after reading through everything we’d like to let you know what we’re planning for aircraft such as the A-10s, the A-6E TRAM, and the initial Su-25 variants (the regular version and the K version).

While these aircraft have average or in some cases below average efficiency, they do still carry potent missiles regardless. Due to this, after the next major update we’ll be implementing the following two changes together:


--The Battle Ratings of the A-10s, Su-25 and Su-25k, and the A-6E TRAM in Air Battles will be increased by 1 step (for example the A-10A Late will move from 10.3 to 10.7). This is so that some aircraft below the Battle Rating of these attackers that lack countermeasures will stop facing them at all or face them less frequently.

--In tandem with this, the spawn points of these attackers will be moved closer to the main combat zone in Air Battles. This... Read more

Hi, the 2S38 has a NVD device - thermal for the gunner and commander, and night vision for the driver.

Hey everyone, we’ve taken a look at your feedback on our proposed separate Battle Ratings for different modes 20 and are presenting you with the updated table of changes and some explanations for specific vehicles and for Battle Ratings in general.

Battle Ratings

While we’re here, we’d like to give some additional context behind Battle Ratings and how they’re decided. Battle Ratings are decided based on how much a vehicle earns, but this is not purely economical. We use this metric because it’s all encompassing and considers every action a player makes with their vehicle, so this considers frags, assists, caps, and effectively every useful action a vehicle can perform all bundled into one universal metric.

This is the “Efficiency” of each vehicle and gives us a very well rounded perspective on all of its abilities and how it’s actually being used.

If a vehicle has high efficiency, it’s outperforming its contemporaries in multiple ways the majorit... Read more

Ty, will do

Please keep in mind that we may or may not have a summer sale and it may or may not include the TURMS for sale. You shouldn't expect it to be on sale at that time.

Does it mean the Summer event has been reduced to just one vehicle or there will be an event before the Summer event?

Yeah, as we said at the beginning of the year, as it currently stands, only the winter event will have 3 vehicles.

Hi! We don't have any plans to bring these German vehicles back. The Maus returns yearly but the rest won't.

I'm pretty much convinced they just added that idea for damage control purposes and was never intended to be a part of the roadmap

It's in development now and WiP designs are made. We apologize that this has been delayed once again.

Hi! We've made no changes to the Comet recently, apart from increasing its turret rotation speed: https://warthunder.com/en/game/changelog/current/1608

When was the last time you played the Comet in the Swedish tree? Regardless I do know the Comet's reverse speed is poor and mobility feels 'sluggish' in general.

Hi, as mogami_99 said, press Research on each nation, then you can select Army, Aviation, and the naval vehicles from the top.

Add them to your lineup, click on the gamemode under the To Battle button, and select the mode you want.

Wait... So if someone wants to buy the Object 279 which is currently selling for $700 on the marketplace they would have had to spend $1400 in the gaijin store previously?

Are you serious? No way....

How does that prevent fraud exactly?

Hey there everyone, welcome to a new article series that we, the Community Managers will be posting here on the forum whenever we’ve got some valuable information to share with you.

With this new series, we aim to keep you in the loop on what’s going on in the background to ensure you’re kept in the flow and not left in the dark. We’ll be keeping this series more ‘personal’ than what we regularly publish, where they will be written from the CM’s eyes and perspective.

Regular Roadmap, dev blogs and other important articles will still be published on the website as normal, this series is sort of a new addition to the list of many things that we do.

For today, I’ve got an important update to share with you, some glimpses into other information so let’s make a start.

An update on the Roadmap for the Second Major Update

Most of the Second Major Update Roadmap features are currently in development and are likely to be finished on time, ... Read more

Hi I need some info:

What date and time did you claim this drop and what is your WT name? Did you check your inventory in-game to see if it was there?
