Hi

Sun on map is always on it's valid astronomical position on the sky (so, if you will take historical map and check direction and time of day, you will have Sun in proper place - same place like IRL).

To change it, we would need to disable specific time frames on maps (different for each map). Players are assigned to teams randomly (via MM), so at the end of the day (ha ha), it's fair for all.

This June marks the 80th Anniversary of the Battle of Midway, a turning point of the war in the Pacific during WWII. Japanese forces planned to catch the Americans by surprise, but the Japanese naval code was deciphered, and this allowed US troops to properly prepare and triumph in battle.

From June 3rd (11:00 GMT) till June 6th (07:00 GMT)

Play 3 battles in American
or Japanese vehicles (rank III and above, activity 70% or more) to achieve the “Battle of Midway” decal.

“Battle of Midway” decal

The decal can be found in the customization menu, section “Other”.

Score 10,000 points in naval battles of rank III and above to achieve the “Emblem of USS Yorktown”. Points multiplier is listed in the description of the task.

You need to be aware, that majority of rank IV (and almost everything under rank IV) is WW2 (so far away from modern era
). If you compare it with higher ranks, you will notice that usually, there are still more pre-cold war vehicles in trees.

For years, we have added more "old" machines than modern. Now we need to catch up a little. But it doesn't mean, we forgot on WW2 vehicles.

And I guess many forget, that every time we add new nation to WT (except latest Israel, which was a little different), we add huge number of low rank vehicles.

On suggestions - well, if you check, we have a lot of them. I mean, a LOT. And we use them and still waiting for more

Plane:

Morane-Saulnier MS.405, 406 and 410

Some vehicles in War Thunder don’t quite get the attention they deserve; therefore, we believe that this must change quickly.

Generally we do this during economical updates. Its not planned for this major at least. With the F8s also being different ranks, it also complicates things.

Indeed. These would not be added in time anyway (unless a developer already had them in the works) and generally will be treated as suggestions. We pre-planned what bombs would be added. But they will be forwarded.
