@jen_ishere Yes! We're still squishing some issues introduced with the new engine update causing performance issues for some players.
โก We continue to work on the game engine! In the next update, we'll add new tanks and ships gunshot effects, rework the tanks tracks modelisation and add a new system improving map details!
More on the devblog:
In December 1944, 76 years ago, the Sd.Kfz 234/4 Puma appeared for the first time. This variant, the 4th, was known as the "Pak-Wagen" which translates to tank hunter. It saw action in Normandy, where it was used to hunt allied tanks after the D-Day landings with its 75 mm gun!
โก MikeGoesBoom & Oxy will be streaming today! Check this out on the official War Thunder Youtube and Twitch channels (with Twitch drops!) ๐
The ST-A3 was the first Type 61 prototype, equipped with an automatic loading system for quick follow-up shots! It will soon join the Japanese ground forces of #WarThunder. ๐
@belgianfrostie @Saint_DunamisRD This. Some squadron have years of experience training players joining their rank, it's one of the best option.
@brennan_galvin I know our event articles are sometime a bit long, but still ๐

In December 1939, 81 years ago, the KV-1 (L-11) first appeared. Embodying the most advanced ideas of its time, the KV-1 debuted in the Winter War and suffered no losses to enemy anti-tank fire. In another battle, it is stated that one tank was hit 135 times without penetration!
@metuarch We have our own Global Illumination system in the game and will keep working on it: looks quite pretty without crushing your GPU ๐. We're looking at other options (for the future?), but our GI have a very competitive quality / performance ratio.
@ww2_estian Maybe - we do devblogs by catching feral devs with tranquilizer guns at the office, and steal whatever they were working on. Naval ones are still "fresh" and easy to get, but the planes and tanks ones know all our tricks by now.
The HMS Invincible was a first of her class, combining cruiser-like speed and battleship level of firepower! This warship will join the #WarThunder naval battles in the next major update! More on
In December 1942, 78 years ago, the Crusader Mk II appeared for the first time. The Crusader Mk II was an upgraded Mk I variant, with better armor all around and dedicated protective side panels. In 1942, the Crusader Mk II saw extensive action during the North African Campaign.
@pinto_fernand We got another one from the Battle of Jutland in preparation ;)
โ The SMS Von der Tann will join the War Thunder naval forces in the major update! This fast battlecruiser participated in an historic naval engagement, the Battle of Jutland. More on
