Hey everyone! We’ve finished processing your feedback and are ready to present the next Roadmap.

Let’s first start by saying that this list contains only a part of all changes and new features that we’re planning to add to the game in the first part of 2024. This list does not affect the addition of new types of weapons and vehicles, some mechanics and gamemodes, as well as graphic improvements. We’re planning to present add these improvements separately, where we’ll talk about them when they’re ready.


Take a look at the Roadmap! (click to expand)

This Roadmap presents you with the changes and improvements that we plan to add to War Thunder from the Spring leading up to the Summer. If all features have been implemented, we’ll again ask for feedback from the community so that we can create another list for a new Roadmap until the end of 2024.

Sound

• The engine sounds of enemy and allied ground and air vehicles fade more prominently and lose high frequencies over distance. This means that situations with excessive “noise” in the environment have been corrected, and the realism of the sound has improved.
  
• The HSTV-L and Abrams tank series have been made to sound less distinctive as the distance increases.
  
• New sounds have been created for the Challenger 2 tank engines. The old Challenger 2 sounds have been transferred to the Chieftain tank series.
