In this digest we would like to tell you about our continuing work on improvements and fixes in the game. You can find information about all updates that have been released in War Thunder on the website special section.
Fixed the vertical guidance block
There are many interesting features in the War Thunder game settings that can improve your battle experience. Among them is the “Block vertical aiming while braking” setting. When enabled the gunner will not try to compensate for the vertical sway of the cannon when braking sharply which can save some time when aiming on tanks with slow drives.
But this feature might not work quite correctly if your cannon is very fast and has high recoil. For example it was like this on ZSU-57-2. In the case of such vehicles the game may consider a strong recoil as braking by completely blocking the vertical guidance for some time after the shot.
We have improved the logic of the mechanism and such behavior shouldn’t appear again. But the setting itself is very useful - try it out!
War Thunder doesn’t have underground tanks
At least for now. Object 279 and T95 are looking like a weapons project with incredible capabilities but still shouldn’t appear in the battle with a rumble by suffocating under the surface. That's how the problem manifested itself specifically with these vehicles - you showed up embedded in the ground. Fixed.
Where does the guided missile fly?
Another unfortunate mistake was the inaccurate timing of someone else's guided missile flight. This is when you see the missile seem to fly past, but in fact your eyes deceive you and the enemy was able to hit the target accurately. The flight of the first and second generation guided missiles has been refined. Now it will be displayed equally correctly for the player controlling the missile and for everyone else.
Night optics without battery
Sometimes it was possible to switch to the night vision tank sight or thermal imager with a fully discharged battery and see perfectly well in the dark even from the 3rd person view. The magic has been removed and now these devices work as they should.
Graphics
Last monday we added physically realistic moonlight - you will definitely notice it in the night battles - it became brighter. You won’t have to squint anymore.
We also fixed a shadow’s incorrect behavior on horizontal surfaces (buildings, rocks, etc). We also improved the display of bushes and trees through a tank’s sight in graphics settings “Max” and “Movie”.
More improvements
For this digest we have prepared a large set of useful fixes and game improvements. Be sure to read the full list which we have prepared in the separate changelog - there are many interesting things.
Once again, many thanks for all your bug reports that you submitted by using our special service.

night battles are nightmare for non NVD tanks. please change that. if a tank dont have NVD, it should not be in night battles.
or give more EXP for that. harder=more exp?
You hardly need NVD with the new night battle ...
Air RB night battles when?
HELL NO, JUST NO
We had this before, and let me tell you: flying with 500m spotting range is NOT FUN for anyone
So what about the M163 AI in WW2 AIR RB game????
Vulcan go brrr-brrrrrt
ATGMs desync is finally fixed, thank you gaijuggles 🙏
"Night optics without battery The magic has been removed and now these devices work as they should." They should work with a indipendet battery... not a gg
Fixing is your most important task, but not a single vehicle model updated? Come on!
What do you mean by that?
Stona_WT, Volumetric armour, maybe. Volumetric shell already broken, at the very least update the vehicles model.
Change repair cost of all vehicles.
Good stuff with the vertical guidance on the ZSU-57-2. I was checking just yesterday to see if it was fixed. Glad to see it is supposed to be fixed today. I will have to check it out again once the patch is installed.
Is this what you mean by physically correc moon light ? https://i.imgur.com/RtUWscO.png if so then i can say the moonlight definitely makes night battle much more bearable. It's dark but not unrealistically pitch black like in the past especially in urban environment which should be rich of light sources but since buildings don't have lights so that was unplayable. The night battle i got looked good, i can see my own vehicles, road and surroundings and the game looked pretty aswell.
I see that the serious aim flicker bug(Linux version) still didn't get a fix after more than 7 months, and I wonder if with this patch the game didn't get even more unstable than it already was.
