We will soon move to a new game client file structure that will reduce the size of updates and speed up their installation.

Hello!
Today we would like to tell you about the transition to the new file structure in the War Thunder game client that the development team has already planned for in the upcoming major update.

In short: the new file structure will speed up the installation of updates on your computers and consoles, as well as reduce the size of download files!

The goal of the restructuring is to break up a number of heavy game files into smaller ones so that when these files are changed, players on consoles and the Steam client will download smaller volumes. On a PC, for those who update through our launcher, a partial file update system has been available for a long time, but this file st... Read more

The Sd.Kfz.222 light reconnaissance armored vehicle was one of the most successful vehicles of this type in service with the German land army and saw intense use in combat during WWII.

Yup, but you wont hear enemies sneaking up on you, or yourself being shot at. But it's definitely possible.

If you are annoyed at others, no need to insult. The game is definitely not dead though, in-fact we just reached the highest player count on Steam over the weekend.

Not public information, but the better the reward (to most people), the less chance to get it.

Sorry but you cannot test drive a vehicle that you haven't researched or a vehicle aren't researching. Intentional.

They are "artillery" vehicles but the guns and ammo that they can carry are mostly more than capable of fighting against other tanks. Which is why they do that in the game. What kind of features specific to artillery tanks were you thinking of?

I also bounced a close range short 88


This didn't happen before and I wonder if they f'ed up volumetric or smth

You probably hit the driver's hatch. It can eat and deflect shots.

However if you have some footage of this, of it occurring after today's update, that would be greatly appreciated.

We don't announce this in advance, you'll just have to keep an eye on the news. However, look at when previous years sales occurred.

Depends on how much you shoot them and where you fly into them. Sometimes you'll be credited with a kill.
