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!
"Greece" | "Sinaï" |
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.
Leopard 1A1A1 | M163 Vulcan | A1E1 Independent | ZSU-23-4 Shilka |
Aircraft
Nine new and improved aircraft: The Japanese lineup is replenished by three aircraft, the US has a new "jet" added, the British tree has been reinforced with a couple of new twin-engined aircraft and Germany has the first superheavy "flying boat".
F9F-8 Cougar | BV-238 | Ki-87 | Su-6 |

KnightoftheAbyss, Thank you ! Problem solved. :D But I noticed a new problem. If I take less ammunition with the Centurion Mk.3 and the Centurion Mk.10 now the game not from the front side takes out the ammunition. This is very bad :( I hope you're going to improve this problem. :)
The new update Spitfire LF. Mk IX dos not recognize the already unlocked color schemes I had. It is stuck in a default scheme. Even if I can see the unlocked schemes when I select any of them they are not applied to the aircraft. :((( Can you please check this bug?
