 +
* New sounds for hits on ground vehicles for all calibres have been created: machine guns (6.5 mm - 14.5 mm), small (23 mm - 50 mm), medium (57 mm - 90 mm), large (100 mm - 155 mm). The purpose of the changes is to emphasise energetic impacts with thick armour plates and to stand out in the overall low-frequency background of the game.
 +
* New sounds of hits from all calibres in the player's vehicle in the first person view depending on the ammunition type (APHE, AP, HE, HEAT) have been created. The purpose of the change is to make hits of different types of ammunition audibly distinguishable.
 +
* New sounds of all calibres of shells passing by the player have been created. The purpose of the change is to make brighter sounds contrast better with the low-frequency background to warn of shelling.
 +
 +
'''Missions'''
 +
 +
* In "Seversk-13" missions, AA guns that were stationed too close to the landing strip of the airfield have been moved.

 +
 +
'''Atomic Thunder Event'''
 +
 +
* Lower range guns (with an effective radius of around 500 m) have been added to the AA defences of helicopter landing zones to counter Pchelas.
 +
 +
== [[wt:en/game/changelog/current/1523|25.07.2023]] (Server update) ==
 +
 +
* Compensation for automatic vehicle repairs and automatic ammo refills after battles have been added for premium account owners. To receive compensation for repairs and ammo, you need to check the "Automatically repair all vehicles after the battle" and "Automatically purchase spent ammunition after the battle" boxes in the research window before the battle. Compensation of your expenses is calculated based on how much you've earned during the session excluding penalties for destroying allies (they are not compensated). Compensation of expenses is added to the list of rewards when the battle ends and is displayed in the battle statistics screen and in personal messages that contain battle results.
 +
* Payments for repairs of vehicles destroyed by your allies have been disabled. In modes where there are no repairs but pair respawns (such as Air SB), if an ally destroys your vehicle, your next respawn in this session in the same vehicle will be free.
 +
* A rewards table has been added to the personal message window with better displayed battle results. The detailed log is only available in the main game modes: Ground arcade, realistic, simulator battles; Air arcade, realistic, simulator battles; Naval arcade, realistic battles; Helicopter battles.
 +
* The ability to copy detailed battle results to the clipboard to share them online or analyse them has been added.
 +
* When buying premium or pack vehicles, players will now receive a specific number of backups that depend on the vehicle rank and is displayed before purchase.
 +
* Now players will receive mission points for helping repair or extinguish fires for their allies. In Ground battles, for each repair assist a player will receive 40 mission points up to 10 times per session, and 150 points for each fire put out (no limits). In Naval battles a player will receive 10 points per each repair, up to 10 times per session.
 +
* When a gunner gets knocked out, there is now a delay before the tank commander gains control over the duplicate fire control system. The commander taking over the controls is marked by a circular indicator around a gunner replacement indicator. If a "duplicate" mode is used in the commander's sights when the gunner is knocked out, the commander takes over the fire control system with no delay.
 +
 +
== [[wt:en/game/changelog/current/1524|26.07.2023]] (2.27.1.57) ==
 +
 +
* Added Battle tasks for Tank and Aviation Simulation Battles.
 +

 +
* '''VFM5''' — armouring of the lower frontal area has been fixed (increased from 6.35 mm to 38.1 mm). Earlier, due to the erroneous value, the tank might receive damage while being shot from a 12 mm machine gun ([https://community.gaijin.net/issues/p/warthunder/i/HRCAptHeS7qd report]).
 +
* '''STB-1, Type 74 (all versions), Type 87''' — power output of the Mitsubishi 10ZF22WT engine has been corrected and is now 870 hp ([https://community.gaijin.net/issues/p/warthunder/i/magWzBq0cq0R report]).

 +
* '''Leopard C2A1 MEXAS''' — an error that caused the incorrect display in protection analysis mode has been fixed. When "Show external construction elements" had been toggled off, the grate of the engine-transmission compartment was not displayed, while the frontal ‘splashers' and the pad on top of the turret were displayed ([https://community.gaijin.net/issues/p/warthunder/i/CHr04ajQyua3 report]).
 +
* '''Type 62, Type 63-I and ZTS63''' — long distance spread of the Type-62-85-TC gun has been reduced ([https://community.gaijin.net/issues/p/warthunder/i/9v6ghahuNcvA report]).

 +
 +
== [[wt:en/game/changelog/current/1525|27.07.2023]] (2.27.1.62) ==
 +
 +
* An error that caused lack of fragment damage to parts of helicopters/aircraft when fragmentation munitions with a calibre of 20 mm or higher exploded inside the fuselage and wings has been fixed. This error caused damage to be lower after we implemented the realistic fragment spread mechanic since the fragments could pass from inside a target to outside via fuselage and wings without dealing damage. Now the fragments spread correctly and deal the same damage as before the implementation of the realistic spread.
 +
* For aircraft missiles with a laser seeker or a semi-automatic guidance system (SACLOS) during third person play, a visualisation of missile launch window has been added to clearly display guidance zones that are available for launch.
 +
* For AGM-12С, AGM-12B, AA-20, AS-20, AS-30 missiles, the smoke trail has been modified to be less voluminous and more transparent according to visual references and to make aiming more comfortable.

 +
* An error that caused information about active boosters to not be displayed correctly when copying the battle log has been fixed ([https://community.gaijin.net/issues/p/warthunder/i/y9lvglq4zdPH report]).
 +
* A timer has been added to the sights of ground vehicles, helicopters, and aircraft that counts down the time during which it is still possible to launch a beam-riding missile without undermining guidance of the previously launched missiles.
 +
 +
== [[wt:en/game/changelog/current/1526|28.07.2023]] (2.27.1.64) ==

Wallpaper UpdateLaRoyale.jpg

Update "La Royale" (changelog) was introduced on 14 June 2023. This update is notable for the introduction of the French bluewater fleet, new flight physics for missiles, a new class of assault bombs, and marked the start of major economic overhaul.

Msg-info.png Though the update numbering has been dropped since Update "Starfighters", the game version is still present in-game to indicate the update as 2.27

New locations and missions

  • New location for combined battles "Iberian Castle".
  • New location for naval battles "Franz Josef Land".
  • Air AB:
    • Two missions of the new type, Air Conquest, have been added on two locations: Israel and Smolensk. Mission rules:
    • There are three capture zones in the mission: a small central air zone and two airfield zones on the sides of the central zone
    • There is ground support in the mission as in the "assault" missions and the models and placing of the ground vehicles depend on the battle rank.
    • There are bases for bombing in the mission which spawn 15 seconds after being destroyed.
    • Player aircraft respawns are not as high as in Assault missions and the number of respawns has been reduced.
    • Bomber respawns are higher than respawns for fighters and closer to the centre of the mission (in normal assault missions bomber respawns are further from the centre of the mission than fighters).

Location and mission updates

  • Snowy trees in winter versions of the Poland, Maginot Line, and Bulge locations have been fixed.
  • The behaviour of bushes when they're being trampled or shot through has been fixed.
  • Passability of vehicles on concrete has been improved.
  • The problem with the difference between physical materials has been fixed and consequently passibility on sidewalks and main roads in the "Breslau" location has been improved.
  • Single missions and historical campaign:
    • Multiple bug fixes in single missions and historical campaigns.
    • In the historical campaign, naval vessel models have been replaced with more detailed ones. In this regard some edits have been made to the mission balance.
  • Aircraft RB:
    • Mission [Operation] "Vietnam" has been renamed to [Operation] "Battle for Vietnam" as the original name is already used by the mission of the type [Enduring Confrontation].
    • In the mission for new players [Operation] "Middle East" and [Operation] "Cochinchina" distances between airfields have been aligned with other missions of this type (they are now closer to the front line) in addition, balance edits have also been made.
    • The mission [Operation] "Spain" has been renamed to [Operation] "Battle of Spain" as this name is already used by the mission of the type [Enduring Confrontation].
    • Balance edits and moving the airfields and respawn points in the [Operation] "Battle of Spain". Now the airfield at which players will be respawned depends on their rank (previously at all ranks of players appeared at one airfield 22 km from the centre of the mission).
    • The mission [Operation] "Kuban. Stanitsa of Krymskaya" has been renamed to "Frontline Kuban" not to confuse players by the discrepancy between the mission name and its contents.
    • In the missions "Frontline Ladoga" and "Frontline Kuban" the width of the frontline, the location of bases for bombing and the location of airfields have been standardized with other missions of this type.
    • In the mission "Frontline Kuban" the number of anti-aircraft guns has been significantly reduced, as well as the vehicles played a background role tens of kilometers away from the mission center have been removed.
    • Known bugs in the mission "Frontline Kursk" have been fixed. The mission is back in rotation.

Enduring Confrontation

  • Transferred some of the missions that remained in the old format to the new one (changing the mission grid from 7x7 to 8x8 cells, increasing the total mission space by expanding the grid, new positions for airfields to make the distances between them larger):
    • Bulge
    • Korsun
    • Khalkhin Gol
    • Kursk
    • Ruhr
    • Stalingrad
    • Winter Stalingrad
    • Tunis. Also increased the number of possible positions of airfields.
    • Port Moresby. Also the mission has been rotated by 45 degrees relative to the previous version to make the ratio of sea to land squares for each team about the same.
  • New possible positions for bases created for bombing have been added to all missions in aircraft EC (there were 10 possible positions for each team, now there are 20).
  • In all missions for aircraft and naval "Enduring Confrontation" low, medium and pre-top ranks will now use WWII aircraft carrier models. German aircraft carriers will now use Japanese aircraft carriers. For top ranks all nations still use the Forrestal.
  • Aircraft that can't spawn on airfields (for example, hydroplanes) now spawn over an airfield chosen by the player instead of at the edge of the map.

Ground Vehicle model, damage model, characteristic and weaponry changes

Modifications and research:

Modification price in RP, SL and GE will be calculated automatically on the basis of the total cost of all modifications of the vehicle and the total cost of all modifications at each modification rank will be also set. The cost depends on the number of research points required to unlock the next vehicle in the line.

Thus when there is a change in modifications - removing/adding/transferring the price calculation algorithm changes the prices of each modification up or down when removing and adding modifications respectively. For example when transferring a modification from the 3rd to 2nd modification level the cost of each modification at the 3rd level increases and at the second decreases according to the total cost of modifications for each level, the cost of all modifications doesn't change. Small changes in the total cost of modifications can be either positive or negative and are due to mathematical rounding in the calculations.

The cost of modifications in GE will be calculated individually and depends on the total number of modifications as well as on how these modifications are located at research levels in the modifications window.

Naval fleet model, damage model, characteristic and weaponry changes:

Naval weaponry:

  • Reloading on a captured point has been reworked. — ammunition of the non automatic artillery now replenishes in batches, instead of shell after shell. The number of rounds in a batch depends on the maximum capacity of the ammo stowage.
  • USS Candid — a bug has been fixed due to which the mortars were unable to reload.
  • USS Nevada — a bug with incorrect catapult launch of the scout plane has been fixed.
  • HMS Abdiel — a bug with overestimated gun spread has been fixed.
  • Duguay-Trouin — 75mm HE round with a base fuse has been added.
  • Mark 108 Weapon Alpha — engine characteristics and the drag have been adjusted to correct the trajectory.
  • Saetta P-494 — fixed an error when launching the Nettuno missile with a high elevation angle against distant targets that caused the missile to collide with the water surface soon after launch.
  • Nettuno — Rocket engine operation mode parameters and air resistance have been specified. The weight of explosives in the missile's warhead has been reduced to 6 kg.

Naval modifications and crew skills:

  • HMS Norfolk — smokescreen modification has been added.
  • RN Dante Alighieri — smokescreen modification has been revoked, spent RP points and game currency will be refunded.
  • RN Attilio Regolo — "Anto-Air Targeting" modification has been removed, since the ship lacks this weapon group. Spent RP points and game currency will be refunded. "Auxiliary Guns Targeting" modification has been added instead.
  • Freccia P-493 — a bug has been fixed that prevented torpedo depth setup in RB mode. Also, switching between torpedo tubes and 40mm guns now available in the armament selector, i.e. player is able to choose between them both in the hangar and in battle.

Naval characteristics, physics and damage model:

  • HMS Hood - A bug that allowed the radio room to receive damage inside without penetration of its armor has been fixed.
  • HMS Invincible - Traversing of the ship's hull in the stern by spare torpedoes has been fixed.
  • Propeller shafts are separated into independent modules. Now they have their own functionality and damage model: the propeller shaft pairs with the specific engine room and operates as a part of it. If the shaft is damaged, the ship loses speed in proportion to the force generated by this shaft. If there is no damage to the engine room, the maximum speed will still drop until the shaft is repaired. For now, shafts are separated only on battleships. With each new upcoming update, other vessels will also receive separate shafts.
  • The damage model for battleships has been improved - the crew of a battleship is now distributed mainly in the citadel. Modules covered with armour are now of great value. A situation where significant losses might be inflicted on the crew located outside the armour protected area in auxiliary calibre mounts, on or below the upper deck has been fixed. Now another battleship or battlecruiser can deal serious one-time damage to a battleship if it successfully penetrates its armour and hits the most important internal modules. Note that this approach more clearly demonstrates the tactics of battle on battleships: choosing the distance to the enemy, choosing the angle by which the ship's hull is turned, etc. And let us recall that the losses in the ship's crew show not only and not so much the "killed and wounded", but, mainly, people who have lost the opportunity to perform their combat duties. The crew is always tied to a specific module, such as a boiler room, gun, or gun mount. A disabled mount is conditionally equal to the loss of its entire crew, before replenishment and repair.
  • Damage models of the torpedo bulges have been fixed — a bug fixed that allowed a bulge to take multiple torpedo hits.
  • IJN Tone — a bug has been fixed where the internal anti-torpedo bulkhead was displayed in front of the external one. Position of the engines has been corrected in xray mode. A bug has been fixed that prevented highlighting of the rudder armour.
  • HMS Daring — a bug has been fixed where torpedo tubes did not rotate in xray mode.
  • Dugauy-Trouin — position of the plotting room has been corrected, also the position of ammo and fuse magazines. The shape of the magazines and rudder room armour has been corrected.
  • IJN Mogami — size of the stern magazines for the main guns has been corrected.
  • HMS Tiger — size and position of magazines have been corrected, central director rooms have been added.
  • USS Arizona — thinning-out gradient of the main armour belt has been widened.
  • MN Aigle — interference of the torpedoes with torpedo tube doors has been fixed.
  • IJN Fuso — interference of the conning tower with its own armour has been fixed where it was possible to damage it with any weapon without penetration.
  • USS Newport News (CA-148) — ammo stowages of the auxiliary and AA guns have been redistributed. 76mm and 20mm ammo are grouped into separate ammo stowage.
  • SMS Bayern — shape and thickness of the lower part of the main turret barbettes, as well as protection of the duct under the stern main turret have been corrected.
  • SKR-7 — interaction of shells with the stern air duct hoods has been corrected.
  • HMS Diana — a bug has been fixed where the fire control turret crew remain stationary while the turret rotates.
  • IJN Hyuga — interference of the conning tower with its own armour has been fixed. Radio room is now smaller and located in one area in the bow superstructure.
  • HMS Southampton (C83) — fixed the type of armour of the deck part above the aft main stowage.
  • Krasniy Kavkaz — heeling of the ship in a turn has been adjusted.
  • MS-53 — a bug has been fixed where the torpedo stabilisers protruded from the rear doors of the torpedo tubes.
  • Type T-51a, Type T-51b — hull material has been changed from steel to wood.
  • Pfeil — fixed a bug that caused incorrect averaging of the boat's maximum speed in Arcade naval battles.

Naval Visual models and visual parts:

  • Aigle - A bug that caused torpedoes and torpedo tubes not to rotate in the ship's X-Ray view has been fixed.

Localization:

  • HMS Nepal - the country affiliation of the ship has been changed (HMS -> HMAS)
  • Z47 - year of construction has been changed to "project".
  • Missed numbers have been added to Royal Navy vessels.

Interface

  • The lead point calculation indicator has been shifted to the side so as not to block the distance to the target in binoculars at certain angles and in zoom.
  • Operation of multiple tooltips has been reworked:
    • Battle tooltips for survivability, ammo, etc. have been moved to the left side of the screen (toward the game chat window) and made smaller. Almost all hints on the purpose of the keys have been moved from the battle to the loading screen and to the hangar.
    • Battle tooltips about repairs and floods with the assigned key have been added. They also appear more remote from the main interface and disappear over time or by pressing the appropriate key.
    • All battle tooltips which had a long wording have been rephrased into more concise form.
    • A situation where the screen could display many hints on the same topic at the same time has been fixed. For example about critical roll, caulking and ship sinking. Now they are sorted according to their importance. The clue that includes other processes of the same order will be demonstrated.
    • All hints that can be seen on the loading screen will be now duplicated in the hangar, in the search window of the game session.
  • The training system for new players have been reworked:
    • Help for assigned keys, events, and abilities has been added, It will be shown more proportionally, no more than two or three tips/hints per battle. Displayed will be only the information which a new player needs and the function has not been used yet.
    • The loading screens for the first naval battles have been redesigned to include up-to-date and visual information on targets and missions.
    • The control help window (F1) has been redesigned - all information has been updated.
    • Help on the orientation in the hangar between the first battles has been added.
    • Help for modifications and ammo has been added.
    • Dynamic training for blue water ships control has been integrated in the first sea battle.

Economy and research

  • PT-76 (China) - The tank will be hidden (in two weeks from the major update release) from the Chinese ground vehicles tree and will be not available for research. Vehicle will be added to the group with the new unit from this update - the Object 211 and will remain with players who have researched and purchased this unit.
  • R3 T20 - BR in RB/SB has been changed from 5.0 to 5.7.
  • Kfir C.2 - BR in AB has been changed from 10.3 to 10.7, in RB from 10.7 to 11.0 and in SB from 10.3 to 10.7.

  • New reserve aircraft BF2C-1 has been added for the US research tree.
  • P-26A-33, P-26B-35 — Have been moved from the reserve US aircraft tree to the regular vehicles with BR of 1.0 in all game modes.

Customization

  • Camouflage presets for the coastal fleet for all nations available for completing tasks and for purchase with GE have been added. The order of getting camouflages is as follows: first the player gets a monochrome then a spotted deforming one. When adding camouflages in past updates there was a technical bug and the order of getting camouflages for large ships was broken; it means first players received spotty and then monochrome. Since fixing the order of getting camouflages of previous updates affects many players this change will be applied in the next major update so that everyone can get what they want under the old conditions.

November 1967.
  • F-84B - Ballistic calculator for bombs (navigational bombing) has been added. Source: AN 01-65BJB-1 Handbook Flight Operating Instructions F-84B, F-84C and F-84D.

The purpose of the changes is to emphasise energetic impacts with thick armour plates and to stand out in the overall low-frequency background of the game.
  • New sounds of hits from all calibres in the player's vehicle in the first person view depending on the ammunition type (APHE, AP, HE, HEAT) have been created. The purpose of the change is to make hits of different types of ammunition audibly distinguishable.
  • New sounds of all calibres of shells passing by the player have been created. The purpose of the change is to make brighter sounds contrast better with the low-frequency background to warn of shelling.

25.07.2023 (Server update)

  • Compensation for automatic vehicle repairs and automatic ammo refills after battles have been added for premium account owners. To receive compensation for repairs and ammo, you need to check the "Automatically repair all vehicles after the battle" and "Automatically purchase spent ammunition after the battle" boxes in the research window before the battle. Compensation of your expenses is calculated based on how much you've earned during the session excluding penalties for destroying allies (they are not compensated). Compensation of expenses is added to the list of rewards when the battle ends and is displayed in the battle statistics screen and in personal messages that contain battle results.
  • Payments for repairs of vehicles destroyed by your allies have been disabled. In modes where there are no repairs but pair respawns (such as Air SB), if an ally destroys your vehicle, your next respawn in this session in the same vehicle will be free.
  • A rewards table has been added to the personal message window with better displayed battle results. The detailed log is only available in the main game modes: Ground arcade, realistic, simulator battles; Air arcade, realistic, simulator battles; Naval arcade, realistic battles; Helicopter battles.
  • The ability to copy detailed battle results to the clipboard to share them online or analyse them has been added.
  • When buying premium or pack vehicles, players will now receive a specific number of backups that depend on the vehicle rank and is displayed before purchase.
  • Now players will receive mission points for helping repair or extinguish fires for their allies. In Ground battles, for each repair assist a player will receive 40 mission points up to 10 times per session, and 150 points for each fire put out (no limits). In Naval battles a player will receive 10 points per each repair, up to 10 times per session.
  • When a gunner gets knocked out, there is now a delay before the tank commander gains control over the duplicate fire control system. The commander taking over the controls is marked by a circular indicator around a gunner replacement indicator. If a "duplicate" mode is used in the commander's sights when the gunner is knocked out, the commander takes over the fire control system with no delay.

26.07.2023 (2.27.1.57)

  • Added Battle tasks for Tank and Aviation Simulation Battles.

27.07.2023 (2.27.1.62)

  • An error that caused lack of fragment damage to parts of helicopters/aircraft when fragmentation munitions with a calibre of 20 mm or higher exploded inside the fuselage and wings has been fixed. This error caused damage to be lower after we implemented the realistic fragment spread mechanic since the fragments could pass from inside a target to outside via fuselage and wings without dealing damage. Now the fragments spread correctly and deal the same damage as before the implementation of the realistic spread.
  • For aircraft missiles with a laser seeker or a semi-automatic guidance system (SACLOS) during third person play, a visualisation of missile launch window has been added to clearly display guidance zones that are available for launch.
