“Wiki approved: T14” — a unique decal for each new vehicle from our reviews.

[h2]T14[/h2]


As the smoke from the sky battles over the very existence of Great Britain cleared, the British were already planning a counterattack, but quickly found out that they lacked impressive ground vehicles.



There was no time to lose, and, having just survived many incredibly hard battles, it seemed a bit too hard to manage by themselves, so the British turned to their allies. And so the development of the T14 began — a heavy tank project developed in tandem with the USA.



What they got was the Sherman cranked up to eleven. Very well-armored, retaining decent mobility, carrying the same 75mm gun as the Sherman. This vehicle never got to see real action, but you can try out this mid-heavyweight in War Thunder!

“Off we go!” decal

[h2]Aircraft[/h2]

• A bug where the RWR indication on the MFD did not take into account the scale of the interface elements has been fixed. This could lead to, for example, the name of the illuminating radar to overlap with the central element of RWR indication. (Report).
  
• A bug where the target tracking marks shown by radar could be displayed in the kill camera after the loss of an aircraft has been fixed. (Report).
  

[h2]Ground Vehicles[/h2]

• A bug where turning off the search radar could lead to a loss of the lock from the tracking radar or IRST has been fixed. (Report).
  

[h2]Naval Vessels[/h2]

• Pr.183 BM-21 — a bug that caused only one rocket to replenish after using up all of the rocket launcher ammunition has been fixed. (Report).
  
• A bug that caused the replenishment progress to not be shown on the icon of the corressponding weapon when replenishing torpedo tubes, rocket launchers and depth charge launchers that were not fully empty has been fixed. (Report).
  
• A bug where the bomb replenishment timer on reconnaissance aircraft was reset when switching to a ship and back has been fixed. (Report).
