A vast amount of vehicles, fixes and anticipated Roadmap additions have now been implemented! Flagship jets: F-16C Block 50, Barak II and MiG-29SMT, plus jets for other nations. Italy has gained the Hungarian branch, which includes 11 ground vehicles starting from the Csaba and ending at the KF41, as well as 3 helicopters. The first South Korean vehicle, the VIDAR — which arrives as an export variant used by Norway — also comes to the Swedish tree! The visual effects of wind, smoke and ammo detonations plus more have also been improved, as well as a rank VI Bluewater and 3 premium Battleships have arrived. Two new maps, including the return of “Test Site — 2271”, are also here.
Better yet, there’s a ton of content waiting for you. Read below to find out more.
Several Roadmap additions that you have been patiently waiting for have been implemented. You can see details about these changes in our separate news article here.

For Britain, a handy Sea Harrier comes to the research tree as well as brand new cockpits for 3 Spitfire variants.

We’ve been working hard on improving the graphic effects in War Thunder! In this update, you’ll be able to see the following improvements while in battle: new trees and wind effects, shots and explosions, destroyable ammo, aircraft voice warning systems (say hello to Bitchin’ Betty!), updated RWR and a realistic HUD for helicopters. All of these changes will help to enhance the visuals and overall feeling of the game in all areas of battle.
We worked on an aircraft map that was to be located in Southeast Asia. Rocky Pillars comes to the game, and we can’t wait to see how aircraft combat will play amongst the large, well, rocky pillars. For ground battles, we’ve made some improvements to Test Site — 2271, which now returns to the map rotation after its initial release in the Atomic Heart event. This map has been improved based on your feedback — thank you and enjoy!
Alongside the usual additions of vehicles, mechanics and bug fixes, we’ve got some other misc features. Vehicle photographs on stat cards now shine in a clear and uniform manner, allowing you to better see what a vehicle looks like. Useful information has been added to each vehicle’s modification window — this includes information about tier bonuses, and a useful bar to see the progress of how much modification RP is needed as a number and a percentage. Oh yeah, we’ve also adjusted a ton of vehicle sounds.

Comments will be premoderatedreally bad...this game gets worse with every update
Please decrease the team size in top tier Air RB. 16 vs 16 is ridiculous for non-EC maps.
Lol, British Phantoms with vietnam era missiles aim9G and skyflash, now having to face F16's with aim9M's. Could have given them aim-9L's but no, of course not, cant give Britain anything competitive. Where is the F15 and mig25?
With all the new modern stuff added to the game, would it be possible to add the modern RNLAF Roundle? I know it can be created using multiple decals but having the modern and the old roundle would be nice
Hi guys, great update! But i noticed something strange. The folded tanks have gotten their RP cost lowered, but the modification price is now super high compared to the original cost of the tank. Look at the SK-105A2 in the french tree - it cost 100k to rechearch but 298k to spade, at 8.7? It looks like you forgot to balance the modification prices, because it is like this on all affected tanks :( Do you plan to fix it soon? :) And from somebody who has played since 2013 = Great job guys!
First things first. What on gods green earth have you done to the Germans. The crew sound absolutely awful. They used to sound with passion and fear when getting shot, now it sounds like a 15 year old going through puberty playing armoured warfare when you get a kill. PLEASE go back to La Royale style, that was perfect! Second, what is up with the Gepard having ONLY 40 rounds in each magazine? Only 80 rounds IS NOT ENOUGH!! Everything else is awesome, but please raise these issues.
And please change the vehicle photos back to how they were. I feel like I'm playing world of tanks when I look at them. Makes the game look like a cheap mobile phone game as everyone else said, rubbish AI generated photos. Stop changing unnecessary things Gaijin!
What happened to the A28B??? I can't find anything about it in the changelog? is it a bug or is it actually removed?
i like the update and i think the movement of the trees is nice and all but they whip around like a super cell storm passing through. it also only affects you everyone a long range doesn't see the tree movement. the movement really needs toned down or set to show for everyone even a long ranges. its unnatural.
my Gepart 1A2 now only carry 2x 40 shells to shoot down planes? is that part of the new update as well or a bug???
