No way! Now, airfield anti-aircraft guns won’t stop shooting at the wounded and disabled enemy aircraft that are still able to fight even with a wing off. A crippled vulture is still dangerous, so let the shells from AA guns nail them for sure!
Vehicle service
For this digest we focused primarily on servicing war machines. Still there are over 2,000 vehicles in War Thunder and some of them require attention.
For example we have added separate 82mm launchers and 132mm rockets for several vehicle models of the Il-10. Separate bomb drop for Swedish A32A and also we have improved the armour plating for the pilot headrest of the Japanese lineup - Ki-84 ko, Ki-84 otsu, Ki-84 hei.

Also we have corrected the firing angles of the defensive turrets for a number of vehicles such as the Il-10, which we already described above and Japanese “crocodiles” - H8K2 and H8K3. All of this of course according to the historical documents some of which have been published by different attentive players.

USS Raleigh and USS Detroit received a wider angle of fire for their case mate cannons (these are those that are located in limited, usually inboard, locations on a ship). In addition, in their case it is the main calibre, so don’t underestimate this bonus.
