[2021] It’s fixed! №20 + Update 2.7.0.229

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

We are working on the upcoming major update “Direct Hit” and next start of the Open DEV server which will take place on the 1st of September. That’s why there are not many fixes this time, but it is still important for many players.

Fixing the opaque sight
The glass of the gunsight in the c*ckpit of your aircraft could become opaque if you disable the sight function (yes, you can do that). The problem affected quite a lot of vehicles: AV-8A, AV-8C, Harrier GR.1, Harrier GR.3, F-4E Phantom II, F-4EJ Phantom II, F-4F Early, F-4F, Phantom FG.1, Phantom FGR.2, Su-17M2, Jaguar A, Jaguar GR.1, F-5E, A-7D.



Fixed. The glass no longer fills with solid color and you can now use the option to remove the rectile when you don’t need it, for example to improve visibility.

Recycling Defective Nuclear Weapons
Only the best of the best can collect the necessary amount of points needed to fly out with an aircraft with nuclear weaponry and end the battle with a victory for their own team by pushing just one button! But due to a strange error the nuclear alarm siren didn’t go off and the dropped bomb didn’t detonate.



This is very frustrating after overcoming so many difficulties, so we rushed to correct the error. Bomb confidently.

Fixed several client errors
One of them could have occurred in spectator mode in the aircraft AB and crash the game client. The other one could occur at the moment of exiting the game without any reason.



They will not bother you again. Thank you for letting us know about these problems!

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.
