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!

There is no trace of the annoying auto camera rotation in the hangar? If this is a feature and not a bug, this is the best patch ever! Seriously, I hate that rotation. Being on ULQ, this hangar is all new to me. Nice! I don't know what are the improvements to the hangar sounds, but I notice that the ambient noise is not heard outside the game. I prefer it this way, although I got used to noticing the loading of a new battle by the absence of that noise.
I checked the ranking of the new vehicles, no surprise... The american '90mm self propelling gun' have RB of 6.7, tier IV. The armor of this tank is a 5mm thick plate On the other hand the post war ASU-57 have BR 4.3 tier 3 Why American tank must have such a high BR? Put 5.7 or 6.0 but not 6.7 because is not a tank, is a gun with tracks
Compare the M56 more to the ASU-85 (85mm gun) which shares the 6.7 BR with the M56.
It's been over two months since you charged people money for Boats closed-beta - and still not a SINGLE WORD about when we will actually get to take advantage of it. The only information that is ever given is "some time this year" - which is incredibly vague. At this point, it you people should be able to tell us, at the VERY least, what month it will be in. Otherwise it could all be a ruse and you plan to wait until the 31st of December to release the update at 11:59 pm. I am losing interest.
So almost a whole business quarter has gone by and your investors are wondering what happened to their investment into the game they play... so what's the deal with our boats? :p
Yay, a huge update full of stuff I'll likely never get to use! \o/ Guess I'll let it update. Just wanted to play a few low tier games, but I need to wait for a day before that.
was there a change to the rakjpzr2(rocket) with the way the rockets fire off? i seem to be hitting dirt more than air now, very frustrating. and the zoomed image is not the same either, not locking on the target right. just wondering
It's been sooooo long since air RB has seen any new maps. Why does Gaijin hate us so???
Did you check how many maps we have for Air Battles? You can find them all in custom battles :)
Hey Gaijin is it too much to ask that we can post messages to people so that they can see them later. I can't post messages to people when they are offline. Also is there a way you can rewind replays. As of now you can only pause, play and fast forward. And another thing the Me-163 is incorrectly labeled as a jet fighter. It is not a jet as it relies on rocket propulsion. Oh and one more thing. The BV-238 is a complete beast.
Please post it in Suggestion section on our forum :)
Survey ?
Link is on the bottom of article :)
A very nice update overall. However we need more mid level stuff to fill out the BR gaps in the vehicles trees.
In school looking at changelogs rather than doing work, ha, off time is great
