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!

Sweet! BTW Gaijin, the preload didn't work. I was about 4GB away from the preload being done when I stoped it for the night. Next morning, I'm redownloading all 11GB since the patch launched a few hours ago...
It's working. You will DL only missing part (sadly launcher will show you, that you will DL whole update).
@Stona_WT One question, on US tanks tech tree, shouldn't M163 Vulcan be on tank destroyers line up? now it's on light tanks line. Thanks for all the efforts and this great update.
Sorry, I am not the droid you are looking for ;) I do not know :(
Its not a tank destroyer dude its a SPAA...not that anybody in WT will use it that way ;)
Question, is it a bug that the fv4202 has 31mm plate on the upper glacis? Looks like it should have the 50mm plate run underneath it bit it doesn't. Keep dying here from anything with 30mm of pen.
Custom skins are not working ... don't show up at all ...
It's already reported :)
Can't see the rangefinder in top tier tanks and the lack of being able to adjust zoom in top tier is very uncomfortable .
I think it would be great if the next update just included a bunch of new locations for tanks and aircraft :)
Niet ;)
Great. Gepard bugged, Panzerwerfer still not fixed. Well, maybe next time...
Please report any bugs via the forum. If you need an update on the status of one, please PM me on the forum.
Still version 1.61.1.81 here. I guess it's time to restart and give this 1.63 a shot. Bye 1.61! I'll miss you |:
Seeya in 1.63 :)
Why all new american tans have the same engine sound??? new Scorpion same sound as m26,m4a3e8, m46,m47,m103, etc. That should be fixed , its not realistic
Please be sure to report any bugs in our Technical Section.
Gorgeous maps guys! I'd like to see a video on how you go about putting one of these together. Hope to see them in-game soon!
