In this Roadmap article, we’ll be talking about one of the Roadmap additions to the Air Superiority major update, as well as talking about some of the plans we have for the future.
The majority of the original changes that we announced for the Roadmap have now been implemented into the game, so we’d now like to announce our future plans. We’ve now implemented the vast majority of planned changes that we set out back in the summer (43/45), with minor deviations from the original planned schedule without a delay of more than one update, which is a level of planning that we’re happy with.
Only two changes that were planned for this year have not been released, which we’re going to tell you more about now, so please read on.

Other progression updates: Logging into WT Mobile to keep your login streak
First, one of the final Roadmap additions was the ability to login to WT Mobile to keep your login streak on the PC version of War Thunder, and in the Air Superiority update this feature will be implemented. To get started, you’ll need to install WT Mobile (from Google Play, or App Store), login to your Gaijin Account that you use to login to War Thunder on PC, and you’ll be able to login to keep your streak. We’d like to note that you won’t be able to collect rewards from the mobile version, but only to login to keep the streak.

Postponing the Improved target hit alert for aircraft (the Severe Damage Mechanic design that we proposed)
In one of our previous Roadmap articles, we asked for your feedback on the Severe Damage Mechanic. Your feedback was and is greatly appreciated, however at the moment we’ve run into some issues with implementing this mechanic.
This mechanic has turned out to be quite complex in a technical sense, requiring careful testing. Part of the necessary code for this testing will be included in the game in the Air Superiority major update, and will be used by us for testing and debugging. Although you shouldn’t notice any changes to the game, this code inclusion will bring this mechanic closer to being completed. We’re planning to introduce this mechanic between the 5th update of 2023 and the 1st update of 2024.

Postponing Research bonuses for new nations
We won’t beat around the bush, we’re postponing RP bonuses for new nations for players with top-tier vehicles of another nation for the time being — however, this feature is still planned to be implemented. We previously mentioned why we’re postponing it, but we’d like to explain why we’ve had to postpone it again. This is due to the fact that any meta changes can have long-term consequences for the game, which are difficult to evaluate if there are many changes at once.
We’re already analyzing the current data and calculating the amount needed for the planned bonuses. This analysis will take some more time (as we mentioned — due to the long-term changes that are being analyzed, where objectively a long time is required), with this feature planned to be implemented in an update in the spring of 2024.

Looking ahead to 2024
We think that the way of implementing features from a list suggested by you, the community, while also announcing deadlines for these features was an interesting idea, being useful for us as well as you.
Therefore, we’d like to continue this process and are happy to announce that we’ll be starting a new Roadmap for War Thunder in 2024. We hope that just like back in the summer, we can form an interesting set of War Thunder features and improvements that enhance the game further to be the best it can be. Further details to come soon.

Comments will be premoderatedWhen do you plan to change something about crew? It cost alot to train and to ace + it takes too much time to make experience on them...
You can wait for Major Update or check Dev Server changelog for info on this.
Earn it buddy
I am very happy with the direction you guys are taking this game in :D
While I'm sure some are disappointed with delays in the roadmap, I'm very glad that Gaijin is being transparent and communicating about these issues with the community. Makes me, personally, more willing to be patient when they are more open about why these delays occur.
Good job following the roadmap, looking forward to what comes next. Happy Holidays! :)
If there is way to get this to actual devs and management. Thank you,for addressing issues with 2023 map,and being transparent with the community about them. There are a lot of people overreacting and forgetting to credit the work done so far. Looking forward for 2024 roadmap, and thank you,to all of the staff at Gaijin.

Turns out these promises were too good to be true after all...
?
I guess now top tier is 8 rank, not 7, right?
has been for a quite a while now
NASA engineer, right?
After reading the initial roadmap, I was skeptical at first but I quickly came to look forward to each new roadmap update. Not everything is perfect but I'm very happy to hear you'll continue doing this in 2024. This means only good things for the game. Good work!
So that will be twice you've gone against what was said to be coming, free NVGs in night battles and nation bonuses. I had a feeling once this year ended you'd try sweeping everything under the rug, so good to know the roadmap was a temporary fix and not a permanent change of how the game is addressed.
No one is trying to sweep anything. We have already mentioned, we need more time for bonuses in previous Road Map article. We have mentioned it again in this one. How is that sweeping under the rug? We are directly communicating what's going on.
i am excited for the next roadmap and the major update ofcourse!
