War Thunder Dev Tracker

Today, we’re ready to present to you the final version of the Vehicle Research Bonuses, which has just gone live today! For those of you who participated in the recent testing, the following changes have been made since then:

• The number of battles with a bonus has increased from 3 to 5;
  
• A 25% bonus has been added to ranks I-III;

• The bonus now applies to the top vehicle in each nation as well. Due to this we’ve dropped “new nations” in the name of the bonus. It has instead been renamed to Vehicle Research Bonuses.

Hello everyone, Smin here!

Welcome to the next edition of covert disclosures where we aim to bring you up to speed with some of the goings on behind the scenes outside of our normal scheduled news.

We didn’t give the aircraft this missile as it may be a bit of a strong combination given the missile’s potential performance in conjunction with the platform, so PL-5E II was a more logical and balanced starti...

Helicopters

• For all helicopters that do not have the new avionic modules in their damage models, the chance of avionic damage after the fuselage has been damaged has been significantly reduced. Avionics will not be damaged by the high-explosive impact from ammunition of calibers less than 23 mm and kinetic impact of calibers less than 25 mm with the exception of shells with radio fuzes and air-to-air missiles. One-time damage to the fuselage by ammunition of calibers less than 30 mm will not lead to the disabling of all helicopter avionics.

Ground Vehicles

• AB 43, Sd.Kfz.234/2, Sd.Kfz.234/2 TD, Sd.Kfz.234/3 — a bug with crew swapping that resulted in these vehicles being left without a driver has been fixed. (...
