War Thunder presents
Update 1.63 "Desert Hunters"
23 new and improved vehicles, two locations, High-resolution Texture Streaming and many other novelty changes! According to our recent good tradition, the wait for a new major update has not been too long. Meet - update 1.63 “Desert Hunters”!
New Locations
Pilots will receive a new aircraft location in "Greece", inspired by the Mediterranean landscape. Stunning scenery and unique Greek rock formations is included. Another map in this update where air warriors can gain help from ground vehicles. "Sinai" - a desert location on a peninsula on the Red Sea, just on the border between Asia and Africa. What can warm us up better this fall than a good battle in the desert, where temperatures reach 40 degrees Celsius in the shade!

Ground Vehicles
What can you use to hunt in the sand amongst the sun bleached rocks, boulders and ancient castles? What about some missile armament? The FV438 “Swingfire”, our first British non-premium vehicle equipped with ATGMs. Among the 15 new vehicles in this update - a top ZSU, a new modification of the "Leopard", and real land ironclad - the multi turreted British A1E1 Independent.

I should go to work... Wait, one more game.
Maybe two :D
KnightoftheAbyss, Maybe three...four, five?
The day I'm home from school because I had surgery 1.63 gets released. Thanks Gaijin! :D
I hope everything is fine? Stay healthy and have fun playing WT :)
hope u get better from surgery Г. _ ·]
which battlefield do you mean ? Battlefield 4,2,1942 or battlefield 1 ? of course we see on battlefield 1 :P
Best one - battlefield in War Thunder :D
23 vehicles?Woah.
+ two new locations + tons of other changes :)
Stona_WT, what is up with the damage UI indicator lagging by 0.5-1 seconds on both tank and plane?? now I don't even know to back off or evade when I get partially damaged, checked my connection, no problem there
Yessssssssss Yesssssssssssssh
Out of Curiosity, why arent the players who bought things like the P-38J at 300,000 lions being re-funded the 110,000 difference?
Are you going to shop for re-fund when TV you bought 6 month earlier cost less?
Stona_WT, No, but that is a Huge Difference, generally a price doesn't drop by nearly half unless something is very wrong.
The traces efect are so coooool now :)
Pretty isn't it :)
Smin1080p, can you add incendiary bom read it more in wiki
Well at the risk of whining, I was hoping to finally get a cockpit for the Beaufighter. Maybe next patch? :(
Or how about those bomber cockpits that they have theoretically been working on for a while. For christ's sake a modder went and did the work for 3 of the planes already cause they are taking so long.
MajorMaflfunctio, and i do realize that it is most likely just something he did with the camera, i doubt that he actually went and put the dials n textures but it is rather frustrating that a modder did it before the actually professionals would
"The chance of ricochet has been significantly reduced if the ammo caliber/armour thickness ratio is more than 30%" This means T-34's will no longer ricochet from guns with 75mm of caliber or higher on the (41% ricochet chance before) 60º 45mm plate, the ricochets will now start a 71º with a 14% chance, this a great update just because of that, gj gaijin.
yup, gotta agree to that!
So more chances to kill T-34 with my British tanks?
I wonder why they are constantly adding tons of new equipment when some of the in game features should be changed drastically. For example I wonder why Tiger I and Panther D meets Centurions.Also - why tanks like Panther 2 or T-34-100 consists maybe about a half of teams in Sim or Realistic while in reality they were 1-2 prototypes built????? Some things needs serious rebalancing!!!!
no.. no .. you dont fix mistakes.. you put out new shiny things to distract people its cheaper =)
Much worse is when half of the Japanese team consists of Fw 190
