Before every major update we release devblogs where you can learn in detail about new locations, vehicles, complex game mechanics and features that you will be able to try out in the game.
But you have often asked us to tell you in detail about work on improvements of already existing game mechanics and bug fixes as well as what’s new. So because of this we are starting a new section in which we will talk weekly about such improvements and fixes in the released updates so that you will clearly notice and like them in the game.
Saving shells
Let's begin the digest with a useful improvement in the popular “Protection Analysis” feature.
We have added a “Remember Ammo” checkbox to the analysis window. Switch it on and the shell will not be reset when analyzing the penetration on probable opponents with the same shell. Remembering the ammo will be also saved when exiting the simulation as long as you don’t select another vehicle type.
This will definitely come in handy for many players!
Interaction with the flight deck
In one of the previous updates last week we improved aircraft interaction with the aircraft carrier’s flight deck. Now aircraft carriers that can be found in many aircraft locations will better serve you. Your aircraft will no longer fall below deck when landing and starting the engine on the deck will not cause unexpected propeller failure. Reliable flight’s end for landing and confident takeoffs!
User made sights for rocket tanks
Do you remember that in one of the previous changelogs we added reticle sights for vehicles with rocket weaponry? This temporarily disabled the ability to install custom sights for those vehicles. And now we are fixing it! Now for BM-8-24, RBT-5, Calliope, Type 75 MLRS and other vehicles with rocket weaponry you will be able to create or use custom sights already published by other players.
Armor penetration traces on crew member models
Have you seen how cool the penetration on armoured vehicles are displayed in the game? Sticking shells, holes created?
In some places we overdid it a bit and the effects were applied even on the poor crews in open cabins.
The fix is out! Tankers will no longer display penetration traces.
Moving with a towing cable
The mobility of a vehicle with two knocked out tracks has been restored if a tow cable has been attached to it. Thanks to our players for the report on the forum. We have fixed this effect and now it is fine!
Tree durability
Some of the cypress trees in locations were too strong against vehicles and could stop the whole tank like here. We have fixed this issue! Now you will definitely be able to win in a battle, at least over the cypresses.
Skyscrapers
The skyscrapers in the location “City” have become more dangerous - you will not be able to fly through some of them like in this video.
Respawn points
We will end this digest with one more piece of good news: we have fixed bugs in the respawn points in the “White Rock Fortress”, “Frozen Pass”, “Campania” locations. You will no longer appear behind a slope or inside objects on the environment!

Oh wow this is actually great Gaijin, please keep the good work up!
are you ok gaijin ? Fixing your game instead of adding content ? Damn just for that i'll 50€ of GE to show you my support :D
Please fix the incorrect model on the F4E. It should have the Agile Eagle wing slats like the F4F Early. The E in game has CCIP, flares, and a lower top speed than the C, which means it's a block 48 or later build with 80s modifications. This means it has the agile eagle upgrade but the model in game shows a version of the E that never existed. The F4E master thread on the forum has documentation for all of this, and from what I understand there are several bug reports already in for this. It...

It has been a know issue for over a year and still isn't fix, even though we now have a plane in game with the correct wing model. Also the Mig-21 BIS is way over performing in terms of speed, as in game it can cruise at mach 1.1 without it's afterburner at arp me 10000m altitude. The Mig 21 in any variant could not super cruise in real life.
Very good job, guys!
Will you also fix the misleading description of your events in the future so you no longer sucker your playerbase out of their time and money like you did with the recent crafting event where you withheld the fact that you can only obtain one vehicle and any additional orders after obtaining a vehicle are toilet paper and cannot be converted into a prize vehicle?
emptor caveat...buyer beware.
Good job and thank you devs. Keep it up.
Excellent job, keep up the good work with the bug fixes! Arranging them in a post like this is useful.
We need more bugfixes!
Could you fix the br on the t-10a? he is very outdated in this br, because tanks of br 6.3,6.7 kill him head on, and also the t-10a falls a lot 8.7 where he is basically obsolete in armor, drilling and armor.
