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!

preload was a waste of time, downloaded 13GB of data, now it wants to download it all again. Pointless feature...
no, it doesnt download again. it's copying it from one folder to another on your disc
Senio, then why does it say downloading at 300kb/s? I have a 12.8gb .preload folder >_> probably just because I unchecked and started preload again just to see if nothing is missing. I bet some files was overriden that tells the launcher to use the goddamn .preload folder
now i feel like a real tanker im so broken im using now extra GB to play this awesome game
I have a 10+ Gb download, is that normal ? I feel like I did a mistake somewhere
Did you used pre-load? If yes, simply wait till it will check all files and DL only what is needed. If not, you will need to wait. More details why it's bigger than normal - here : https://warthunder.com/en/news/4263-development-texture-streaming-in-war-thunder-on-all-platforms-en/
Any ideas about fixing the mess that the Tu-4 still does in jet battles? A lot of good jet players that I know stopped playing tier V, because Tu-4 is breaking the matches for both of the teams. The Russian teams are not getting enough fighters, because the Tu-4's are taking the slots and they have to face an entire team of fighters from the British/ American side. Which most of them die later to Tu-4's after they kill all the outnumbered MiG's.
Tier V is most frustrating. I get chased bei TU-4's when flying F-80 or F-84! In lower tiers by the time I had finished my 10 free repairs I had either all modifications or worked on mods tier III or IV. At the same time with jets I don't have 1 (one!) modification finished. Well, I could BUY them, but I have sworn not to feed Gaijin anymore money, until they LISTEN. And, maybe, buy at least ONE JOYSTICK for the team...
gijin can you add in the fv101 scorpion light tank and the chieftain mk 5
You can always put in a Suggestion here > https://forum.warthunder.com/index.php?/forum/611-suggestions/
