[2022] It’s fixed! №45

almost 3 years ago - OrsonES - Direct link

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.

Improvements in this digest are already available on PC and Xbox, PlayStation users will receive these fixes shortly.

Fixed ship movement after the launch of scouting aircraft

Scouting aircraft is a very useful feature for some large ships but after launching, your ship is left defenceless and it’s a good idea for it to be under cover at this moment.

We have fixed a bug where after launching a scouting aircraft from a moving ship the automatic stop mechanism was ill advised and left the ship in reverse. Now, when leaving a ship behind an island you will find it where you left it after the flight.

Fixed helicopter air-to-ground radar

In helicopters that have it, there was a bug that stopped a target being detected unless it was in line of sight for the optical system. Logically, the radar should have seen it .

This of course was wrong. In some vehicles with the radar over the propeller blades, the detection should occur in line of sight with the radar. Now the mechanism is working properly.

Fixed freezes and FPS drop

These were a few bug fixes that some of you may have encountered since the last major update. Crashes after selecting aircraft in AB, freezes on the PS 4 platform in Enduring Confrontation battles. We have also fixed FPS drop in aircraft c*ckpits that are equipped with multifunctional displays.

We continue to follow your reports closely and if you still encounter problems like this feel free to let us know about it. We will fix it!
