War Thunder News

• The reticle for the following vehicles now shows grids and distance markers to match the ballistics of the rockets they use:
  • BM-8-24
    
  • BM-13N
    
  • RBT-5 - due to poor rocket ballistics, sight grid marks are significantly spaced. Use “sight distance” options to adjust rocket sight.
    
  • Calliope
    
  • M26 T99
    
  • U-SH 405
    
  • Type 75 MLRS
    
  • 15 cm Pz.W.42
• User made custom sight grids are temporarily unavailable for the above listed vehicles.
  
• The overpressure damage issue has been corrected that might have caused no damage to the crew when the vehicle is penetrated by a round of a large calibre with an explosives weight over 200 grams.
  

The current provided changelog reflects the major changes within the game as part of this Update. Some updates, additions and fixes may not be listed in the provided notes. War Thunder is constantly improving and specific fixes may be implemented without the client being updated.

• By popular request, War Thunder on Steam will now update via the Steam Client, rather than through the Gaijin launcher. Steam players will no longer be required to open the War Thunder launcher for the game to update.
  

• Allied/enemy tank engines now have the same sound volume.
  
• Sounds of shells and bullets passing by have been changed so that firing at the player’s vehicle is now more obvious.
  
• The radius of registration of bullet/shell flight has been changed from 18 to 30 meters.
  
• The volume of the sound informing the player that he has been detected by enemy radar has been increased.
  
• A bug that caused sounds of allied/enemy aircraft firing might not be played has been fixed.
  

For unknown reasons, Steam has started to download the game files again.
In order not to download existing files again, you can use the following algorithm:

1. Pause the download of the game on the Steam client.
   
2. Find the folder with the War Thunder game and rename it (for example, as “War Thunder1”).
   
3. Via the Steam client, uninstall War Thunder.
   
4. Rename the game folder back to its original name.
   
5. On Steam, find the War Thunder game and click "install".
   
6. Steam will check the files and download the missing ones, if necessary, so you can continue to play.
