Swedish Armed Forces Day: The SAV 20.12.48 and a Decal!

On January 14th 1521, Gustav Vasa formed his personal guard. Two and a half years later, he achieved independence of Sweden and became its first king, with his guard becoming part of the victorious army. Sweden, a century later thanks to its army, became one of the most powerful empires in Europe.

The SAV 20.12.48 is available for Golden Eagles!

[h3]

When: From January 12th (11:00 GMT) until January 15th (11:00 GMT).
Where: Sweden > Army > Premium vehicles.

[/h3]

[h3]About this tank[/h3]

The SAV 20.12.48 is an experimental Tank Destroyer featuring a 120 mm automatkanon that is capable of firing every 1.2 seconds thanks to an automatic loading system. This tank is overall characterized by high mobility and maneuverability — combining this with its gun and APCBC round makes the SAV 20.12.48 a fierce force to be reckoned with!

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.
