[2021] It’s fixed! №27 + Update 2.9.0.107

A lil somethin somethin: You can find the details for this event on the announcement page here.

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[warthunder.com].

We are getting ready for the major “Ground Breaking” update where many important fixes will be listed there. The “It’s fixed!” digest will be presented on update day.

“Final blow!” has been fixed


This award that counts for the last damage dealt in the battle didn’t work correctly and sometimes was given not to the last player, but to the penultimate player.

We have fixed that and now the achievement works correctly.

Smoother switching between sights
Every second in ground battles is crucial so we took your comment about the somewhat jerky switch between the commander and gunner sights very seriously.

Due to an animation issue during the switch between these sight reticles being displayed for a split second before the camera moved to the correct place. The fastest eyes on the planet told us about this and we have removed the parasitic frames. Thank you!

Fixed reload for some SPAA


Has it been the case that there was still some ammo in the magazine but the vehicle begins to reload? This problem affected SIDAM 25, SIDAM 25 (Mistral), Gepard, Chieftain Marksman, Type 87, PGZ09 and in general occured on vehicles with external belts.

Simply fixed it!

Returned decorations back to the sight


It’s very simple here. “Camouflage bushes” decorations in SB game mode might disappear from the gunner’s sight in some actions with the commander and gunner sights. We have fixed it. Although this fix will make some cunning tankers rather sad, for all other participants of SB, justice has been restored.

More improvements
For this digest we have prepared a large set of useful fixes and game improvements. Be sure to read the full list which we have prepared in the separate changelog - there are many interesting things.

Once again, many thanks for all your bug reports that you submitted in our bug report section on the War Thunder forums.
