- Rank V: Level 45 → Level 35;
- Rank VI: Level 55 → Level 45;
- Rank VII: Level 60 → Level 55.
The required level for ground vehicle crews when purchasing the "Ace" qualification have been reduced due to Rank VIII vehicles being added:
- Rank II: Level 50 → Level 45;
- Rank III: Level 60 → Level 50;
- Rank IV: Level 70 → Level 60;

A new progression rule has been established for Rank VIII vehicles — both MBTs and other vehicles with high-caliber guns. For the tank's ammunition, along with a HEAT-FS shell, one of the APFSDS shells is available immediately after purchasing the tank. We've decided to introduce this rule due to the fact that Rank VIII MBTs have well developed, all-round HEAT defense, and HEAT shells can be ineffective even against the side protection of tanks.
IJN Mikuma — has been moved from Rank IV to Rank V.

Awards

A reward for shooting down an enemy aircraft that is carrying a nuclear weapon has been added: "Peaceful Atom". This reward is given in Ground Arcade and Realistic battles and only if the delivery aircraft has not yet dropped the nuclear bomb.

Training missions have been added to the vehicle modification window, allowing you to familiarize yourself with the weapon that a modification unlocks and test them. Training missions are available after researching and purchasing the corresponding modification. If you have not yet familiarized yourself in a mission for a weapon, the modification is marked with a "new" icon, which shows from in the hangar to the mission itself: on the "Modifications" button, on the modification itself and on the "Test" button, which starts the mission. The "new" icon disappears on all weapon modifications when viewing any single modification of a given weapon type. For example, if you view any missile with IR seeker (let's say AIM-9L), the icons will disappear on all missiles with IR seeker (AIM-9B, AIM-9G, R-60, R-73 etc.). You can always return to the modification window and test any weapon that you are interested in again. Missions are currently available to test the following aircraft weapons:
- Air-to-surface missiles with manual guidance;
- Air-to-surface missiles with laser guidance on an aircraft with a stabilized target designator, but without a targeting pod;
- Air-to-air missiles with an infrared seeker.
- Air-to-air missiles with SARH seeker.
An aircraft's parameters HUD is now displayed in the optical seeker view.

Game mechanics

The ability to use universal backups in the respawn window without needing to activate them first in the modification window before a battle has been added.
In Ground Realistic Battles, when an enemy is destroyed, a new skull destruction icon instead of the regular hit icon is displayed in the hit marker, signaling that the enemy has been destroyed.
Contextual hints about the use of certain mechanics and equipment of ground vehicles have been added and occur when certain conditions are met. Each hint is only shown once per spawn; i.e. it can be shown again the next time you respawn in the current battle, or in the next battle. Each hint is shown no more than three times in three months. Whenever the corresponding mechanic is used, the game remembers this fact as showing a hint, so it doesn't get shown to experienced players if possible. Currently the following tips have been added:
- When trying to use the target lock of radar/IRST from third-person view, if the target lock is available only from the sights or binoculars, a hint recommending to switch to the sights is shown.
- When trying to use the target lock of radar/IRST from the sights or binoculars, if the target is missing, a hint recommending to point the sight to the target is shown. The successful target lock from the sights or binoculars is counted as a successful hint show.
- When not moving for 40 seconds, a hint about the ability to use binoculars to safely inspect the area is shown. The total binoculars usage time of 3 seconds is counted as a successful hint show.
- When getting damaged from the front, if the vehicle has smoke grenades, a hint about the possibility to use smoke grenades is shown. Using smoke grenades under any circumstances is counted as a successful hint show.
- When getting damaged from the rear, if the vehicle has ESS, a hint about the possibility to use ESS is shown. Turning ESS on under any circumstances is counted as a successful hint show.

Graphical

There has been a complete rework of all fires in the game. This includes fire on locations, for example volcano effects or burning buildings and also fires on tanks, boats and ships. A fire of each different module has its own visual effect of fire and smoke.

The phrases of the following tank crews have received updated and correct voice acting: Polish and French.
The phrases of the following tank crews have received their own unique voice acting: Argentine and Indian.
The following languages have received full voiceovers of the radio command messages: Portuguese and Spanish.
The following languages have received additional voiceover phrases of the radio command messages (target designation, request for help, etc.): Portuguese, Spanish, Hungarian, Korean, Serbian and Turkish.
Aircraft controls (control stick, thrust lever and rudder pedals) now emit sounds when moved inside the cockpit view, creating another channel of feedback between the player and the aircraft.
A bug that caused support for voice mods for ground vehicle crews to stop working has been fixed.

Aircraft

Display of vehicles at a distance

Targeting pods and optics for high-ranked aircraft help to see ground targets and give the ability to launch at ranges that are comparable to the engagement ranges of SAMs. However, due to a bug in applying angular target sizes to the detection range through targeting optics, these ranges were noticeably smaller than they should have been for small targets. For example, for smaller vehicles such as the Swedish Lvrbv 701, the maximum range at which it could be detected in the targeting pod was about 8 km. After fixing this bug, its detection range will be over 20 km instead, and for larger targets even more.

Game Mechanics

A bug where in some cases in Ground Realistic Battles, active scouting did not work, despite the fact that the target was in the crosshairs of the scout's sight or binoculars has been fixed.
In Ground Arcade and Realistic battles, when a scouted target is destroyed by a player who attacked it within 60 seconds before the scouting, the scout is now always given a "Not by intelligence" reward. This also means that the scout will not receive an increase in air strike and artillery points (in Ground Arcade), and a reduction in the cost of spawn points for aircraft (Ground Realistic).
A bug in Ground Arcade battles when destroying a scouted target from an aircraft, the reward "Not by intelligence" was always given, without taking into account whether the player had seen the target before the scouting or not has been fixed.

15.02.2024 (2.33.0.132)

Aircraft

Tearing off the tail of helicopters with coaxial rotors is no longer counted as destruction, since it does not have a significant impact on the performance of these types of helicopters and does not lead to them crashing. This should help situations where players stop firing at one of these helicopters thinking it is no longer a threat.
The detachment of an aircraft wing when the allowable load is exceeded is no longer counted as a destruction, the same as with the tearing off of flaps or landing gear.

Other

Previously announced changes to vehicle grouping have been implemented
- The 2S3M has been grouped with the 2S1, and the He 111 H-3 has been grouped with the BV 138 C-1.
- The "Strela-10M2" has moved from Rank VI to Rank VII.

16.02.2024 (2.33.0.135)

In Ground Realistic Battles, active scouting of a recently destroyed enemy (less than 1 second ago) is no longer considered a miss and blocks the reuse of scouting for 6 seconds, which is the same time for a successful scout, rather than for 45 seconds.
Starting with the Sword of Justice event, the cost of purchasing an event stage with Golden Eagles will be significantly reduced when the player reaches 85% and 95% progress in completing a stage.
Disappearance and deformation of textures when using the latest NVIDIA video card drivers has been fixed.

23.02.2024 (Server update)

In Air Simulator Battles, mission points will no longer be awarded for attacking an enemy aircraft on an airfield that had not earned any mission points since their respawn. This is to prevent players who match-fix from easily earning mission points in this mode. More details about this here.
A bug where the price drop threshold bar on Sword of Justice event tasks could be displayed on other tasks in the game has been fixed.

29.02.2024 (2.33.0.156)

From the Roadmap

The Severe Damage mechanic carried over from the previous Roadmap has now been added to all gamemodes for aircraft.

A bug where the aiming indicator remained visible while torpedoes were being reloaded has been fixed.

Interface

The new "Battle" mode HUD has been improved:
- The destroyed vehicle counter animation has been simplified;
- Indication of when a player is at a capture point has been added;
- The color of the font, outline and background of the capture points has been changed so that they are similar to the spatial HUD (font and outline to black, background to white) for better readability of capture point progress;
- Thickness of the outline for a capture point has been reduced for better readability of the capture progress.
A confirmation window when enabling the "Researching of helicopters playing ground vehicles" option has been added.

If you have not yet familiarized yourself in a mission for a weapon, the modification is marked with a “new” icon, which shows from in the hangar to the mission itself: on the “Modifications” button, on the modification itself and on the “Test” button, which starts the mission. The “new” icon disappears on all weapon modifications when viewing any single modification of a given weapon type. For example, if you view any missile with IR seeker (let’s say AIM-9L), the icons will disappear on all missiles with IR seeker (AIM-9B, AIM-9G, R-60, R-73 etc.). You can always return to the modification window and test any weapon that you are interested in again. Missions are currently available to test the following aircraft weapons:

+'''Aircraft'''
+'''Display of vehicles at a distance'''
+Targeting pods and optics for high-ranked aircraft help to see ground targets and give the ability to launch at ranges that are comparable to the engagement ranges of SAMs. However, due to a bug in applying angular target sizes to the detection range through targeting optics, these ranges were noticeably smaller than they should have been for small targets. For example, for smaller vehicles such as the Swedish Lvrbv 701, the maximum range at which it could be detected in the targeting pod was about 8 km. After fixing this bug, its detection range will be over 20 km instead, and for larger targets even more.
+* A bug with the incorrect display of vehicles at long ranges when using targeting optics for aircraft has been fixed.
+* A bug where looking through targeting optics, such as target designation pods, enemy markers could be detected at distances exceeding the enemy marker detection capabilities and crew skills has been fixed.
+'''Other aircraft fixes'''

+'''Other changes'''
+* A bug where the aiming circle and azimuth scale moved during a pause in a test drive has been fixed.
+* A bug that caused the corners of some destructible buildings and objects on some maps such as Spaceport to have incorrect collisions when tracing projectiles has been fixed.

+* The volume balance of the Abrams turbine howl and compressor fan for the player has been changed so that they are less annoying.
+* An ATGM fired from the barrel of a tank has a new and more realistic sound.
+* Firefighting sounds for ground and naval vehicles have been made more noticeable.
+* Wind sound now depends on its current speed on a map. The singing of birds has become more noticeable. Previously, if a shot was fired within a radius of 500 m by a player, birds would fall silent for 60 seconds. Now, the radius has been reduced to 100 m and the resumption time to 10 seconds.

+* All airborne radars with BVR mode now have a target tracking prolongation time of 3 seconds.
+* ACM and HMD radar modes range for F-16A/D (all variants), AV-8B Plus (Italy), Mirage 2000 (all variants) and J-8F was increased to 10 NM.
+'''Naval Vessels'''
+* The inability to activate a tow rope has been fixed.
+'''Game Mechanics'''
+* A bug where in some cases in Ground Realistic Battles, active scouting did not work, despite the fact that the target was in the crosshairs of the scout's sight or binoculars has been fixed.
+* In Ground Arcade and Realistic battles, when a scouted target is destroyed by a player who attacked it within 60 seconds before the scouting, the scout is now always given a "Not by intelligence" reward. This also means that the scout will not receive an increase in air strike and artillery points (in Ground Arcade), and a reduction in the cost of spawn points for aircraft (Ground Realistic).
+* A bug in Ground Arcade battles when destroying a scouted target from an aircraft, the reward "Not by intelligence" was always given, without taking into account whether the player had seen the target before the scouting or not has been fixed.

+* A bug where crew slots were hidden when the crew window was open due to a larger interface scale has been fixed.
+* A bug that caused the game mode to change when creating a new vehicle preset has been fixed.
+* A bug where a squad invitation was not shown in the chat has been fixed.

+== [[wt:en/game/changelog/current/1587|15.02.2024]] (2.33.0.132) ==
+'''Aircraft'''
+* Tearing off the tail of helicopters with coaxial rotors is no longer counted as destruction, since it does not have a significant impact on the performance of these types of helicopters and does not lead to them crashing. This should help situations where players stop firing at one of these helicopters thinking it is no longer a threat.
+* The detachment of an aircraft wing when the allowable load is exceeded is no longer counted as a destruction, the same as with the tearing off of flaps or landing gear.
+'''Other'''
+* Previously announced changes to vehicle grouping have been implemented
+** The 2S3M has been grouped with the 2S1, and the He 111 H-3 has been grouped with the BV 138 C-1.

+* In Ground Realistic Battles, active scouting of a recently destroyed enemy (less than 1 second ago) is no longer considered a miss and blocks the reuse of scouting for 6 seconds, which is the same time for a successful scout, rather than for 45 seconds.
+* Starting with the [https://warthunder.com/en/news/8743-event-earn-the-jaguar-is-in-the-sword-of-justice-event-en Sword of Justice event], the cost of purchasing an event stage with Golden Eagles will be significantly reduced when the player reaches 85% and 95% progress in completing a stage.

+'''Aircraft'''
+* A bug where severely damaged enemies finished off by allies did not count towards progress for tasks, wagers, challenges and battle tasks etc has been fixed.
