War Thunder Dev Tracker

In high ranked aircraft battles, the main weapon type is now guided air-to-air missiles with infrared homing heads. The missile itself emits nothing at launch and the only means of detecting the fact that it has been launched in reality is visual detection - i.e. observation of the missile from a pilot’s eyes.

Previously we implemented the simulation of missile launch detection through a text warning regarding the fact that it had been launched, but this implementation wasn't very satisfactory to players and also us. We have received numerous requests to disable this system in aircraft RB similar to aircraft SB in order to increase the realism and importance of the player's actions by evading attacks. In addition it would increase the effectiveness of early air-to-air missiles with low maneuverability making it easier to dodge them after the appearance of a text warning.

Commanders, we continue to improve the SB mode for ground vehicle battles. In the upcoming testing session, we have created an updated mechanism for requesting the location of allies, improved as a result of your feedback. We will additionally introduce new respawning points which are better adapted to SB mode.

These features have been already tested in SB mode, following which we considered your feedback and adjusted them accordingly. We plan to test these features for a longer period than usual. Experience the difference and share your opinions with us, and we'll keep an eye on your feedback for future updates!

These changes will be implemented on the 1st of May.

New features

Allies location request. According to the previous test results, activation of this feature won’t be automatic and will require players to push the “Rangef...

In a real battle, the well established interaction between battle participants plays an important role. The participants receive intelligence and actively coordinate with allies themselves and actively coordinate with them by reporting their own position and data about any detected enemies.

During different wars the same units may have encountered each other on the same battlefield. It might have been captured vehicles in the WW 2 period and in modern warfare the vehicles could have been created based on a model which had been built by license or simply bought. For the crews of these vehicles it was an even more acute problem as they would receive damage from allies because of lack of information and interaction.

The interaction mechanics of the SB game mode often lacks the ability to identify the vehicles at long distance. But you have a radio operator on your vehicles, so it means that you should be able to contac...

Be careful! Sound modifications, if not executed perfectly, are capable of leading to problems operating the game and may even harm your health!

Any individual that creates custom sound modifications, modifies the game’s audio files, or makes use of sound modification files created by any other person, does so at their own risk, and we (Gaijin) will take no responsibility for their, or anyone else’s, use of those modifications.

How to implement sound modifications

Visit the sound modifications section on War Thunder LIVE (which will be released soon!)

Choose and download your chosen modification files, (make sure you trust the source before doing so).


Open the game’s config.blk, which is located in the War Thunder game folder, by using any text editor and add the line: enable_mod:b=yes to the sound block, pictured above.

We have a semi automated crash report system for people who don't use the forum (if you game crash, it ask you if you want to send the report). I can't go into details for EAC (because i don't have the fine details :D) but i'm assuming it's reporting errors or blocks.

But while few do that, the best is to directly report those things on the forum. Eg:

So far one user with issues gave me the file requested, and it was passed directly to the devs.

It depend of the upgrade and a bit of your luck. If the architecture change radically (eg from the old athlon t

We had internal test with alpha / dev, but those tests can only do so much. You can't beat users when it come to find errors or breaking things.

Some have a 5 year old windows installation with a lot of conflicting software, disabled windows features that are not really meant to be disabled, have unstable memory, changed cpu / gpu brand without reinstalling, have torrent / crypto miners (without always knowing it's installed), virus, cracked games, forced unsigned / modified driver or bios or firmware, you name it.

But EAC is not new, and it's already running on other projects

Guys, this conversation is going nowhere. Yes, some players are happy to have potential cheaters kicked, and some players are concerned about their privacy.

Either you move on, or we'll clean / lock. We let that thread running a bit wilder than usual, don't push your luck.

Our Privacy Policy was last edited 28 December 2018, 10:14:46 (i checked our update log history). With the introduction of EAC in Cuisine Royal and Crossout, the War Thunder privacy policy was also updated in preparation. So the EAC part is there for the last 8 month.

Yep!

Players with EAC already installed (from other games) had no pop-up, or sometime an update/repair one.

Guys, we have specific rules against politics on the forum. This is not to hide some grand conspiracy, we're not trying to censor people - political discussions almost always turn into a flamewar and our mods already got enough on their plate as it is.

If you want to discuss politics, internet is here. But don't do that on the WT forum.

I'm 99.99% sure this is ok.

Side note: Our social media manager used it all week-end on the dev server to make new posts, so... that would be embarrassing to have him banned

And that's a common thing for anti-cheat systems. The more information is shared, the easier it is to bypass them, this is why little is said.

We'll have a look. It's supposed to have a prompt before installation (this was mentioned multiple time during internal communication with the devs, they were very clear about that). I already had EAC installed on my home computer from other games, so replicating this potential issue right now would be a pain.

And this is why we will not release EAC after the update 1.91, our team want to make sure everything is running fine. We don't want to get fair players blocked / banned.

Need confirmation, but i'm pretty sure the answer is yes. It's part of the game intended functionality. (tech mods use it all the time, i often have it running too)

Not personally, but devs said they should not be affected. We're also at the start of the "wider" general 1.91 testing session and we got the EN tech team sorting / testing bugs, we'll spend some time testing those.

1/ It's unclear at the moment. Not utilized for sure.

We asked our alpha / tech team to keep an eye on potential issues, and we're not going to activate EAC on 1.91 release to make sure everything is in order and legit players are not affected.

It's anecdotal, but i played all night with RTSS on high detection with monitoring + overlay for temperature / frequency + fps limiter, msi afterburner with a frequency/voltage curve and a fan curve, nvidia overlay, steam overlay, epic thunder sound mod (not sure if it was working with the new sound engine, i installed it due to player's concern) and a bunch of other things (ryzen master with

With the release of War Thunder update 1.91, you’ll be able to exclude maps and missions from your personal rotation, as well as mark them as unwanted.

The “Dislike” feature will be available to all players - if a few players from the matching queue have the same mission or location marked as unwanted, the location will be skipped, and the new location will be selected.

An “Exclude” map feature will be available to Premium account owners and guarantees complete removal for t
