Update 2.33.0.63

  • A bug that caused duplicate smoke effects after using smoke grenades has been fixed.
  • A destroyed module no longer covers other functioning modules in the damage module indicator while in battle.
  • Absence of the “rate of fire” parameter for non-automatic guns and the “reload time” parameter for automatic guns when viewing ships in X-ray view in the hangar has been fixed. (Report)

[h2]Sound[/h2]
  • Challenger and Leopard 1 — the sounds of the engines have been improved in accordance with feedback from players. Now, constant revolutions are better audible and are better combined with the sounds of revving.
  • A bug that caused flares to sound like jet engines when flying through them has been fixed.
  • Challenger 3 TD — the engine sound has been changed to the same as Challenger tanks, as it previously had the sound of the Leopard 2’s engine, which was incorrect.

[h2]VR[/h2]
  • Flickering of trees in the aircraft hangar has been fixed.

[h2]PlayStation and Xbox[/h2]
  • The “Film Lover” achievement has been removed, as it was impossible to complete it on console.
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.
