Heat seekers on missiles are now able to react to the heat signatures of jet aircraft engines in various run modes.

Hey guys! We’d like to unveil details of the recent improvement in the mechanics of acquiring the thermal signatures of jet engines by missile seekers. The fact is that the picture of the intensity and distribution of heat from an aircraft jet engine directly depends on its operational mode. So, in non-afterburning modes, the intensity of the plumes of hot gasses in the forward hemisphere of an aircraft is low and comparable to the intensity of the glow of a heated fuselage skin. At the same time, the expanding flame of burning fuel in afterburner modes has a significant luminosity not only in the rear, but also in the front hemispheres of the aircraft.

The lock-on range of infrared homing heads in the forwa... Read more

The best gamemode for the quickest research is the one you are good at. But lets say you were good in all modes, then regardless, realistic battles is probably the best.

Hey, welcome to War Thunder. You need to research the "Parts" modification in your vehicle's modification window. Once you get that, you can repair any broken components in match. You can also repair teammates whilst you are next to them.

Hope this helps, any questions feel free to leave them here.

Mostly down to their performance efficiency.

If they ever require a BR change, we'll announce this in the BR change post. They happen every so often throughout the year.

will Gajin ever update old tanks and planes that have nothing to do with enlisted?

We are sometimes updating old models in major updates. Maybe these will be chosen sometime in the future.

What do you mean "recover"? When a crew member dies, they can't recover.

We use the 25% and add another for more discount and also the old 50% pack ones. They're interchanged.

Hi, they look a bit different. Do you have any archive images of the Nashorn's engine up close?
