The tactical map is a very important aspect of War Thunder battles. In Storm Warning, we’ve gone ahead and made some improvements to it. If you’re playing Ground Battles and driving a ground vehicle or flying an aircraft, press “M” on your keyboard to open it — at the bottom right you can select to move the map around or switch to the map type to either air or ground. Plus, if you’re in an aircraft, you can set a “point of interest” on the map that’ll show as a square box. Great for marking targets for yourself!

Some new showcases, including Battle-Hardened, Atomic Ace and Peacemaker have been added to the Player Card window. Click the “Edit” button in this window to change them. More details on each one can be found in the major changelog below.

That’s it for this news, but be sure to check out the full list of changes in the provided changelog, as there’s many bug fixes, improvements and additional vehicle changes not mentioned here. Let us know what you think and be sure to leave your feedback on our forums and official social media channels — we’d love to hear. That’s all for 2024 War Thunder major updates. We hope you enjoy!
