War Thunder had its newest update today. It hasn’t added many new things, apart from FPS issues coming from players (including myself).

But even so, the new update has brought a whole lot of stability and bug fixes to War Thunder. And that of course, means a better gameplay experience for us (yay!).

Client Update 1.47.9.22

Items

– ‘The Best Squad’ wager – Number of attempts increased from 3 to 4
– ‘Hero of the Sky’ wager can now only be fulfilled in aircraft battles
– The ‘Thunderer’ wager no longer counts [Air Domination] missions in arcade battles, as the requirements of the wager cannot be completed there due to the lack of ground targets

Ground forces
– In Arcade Battles – The effect of critical damage has been changed:
– Damage to the gun barrel no longer removes the ability to shoot, but increases the cannon’s spread and reduces the muzzle velocity and thus penetration value of its shells.
– Damage to the breech may cause a misfire, resulting in no shot being fired. The probability of a misfire and the resulting wait time depends on the rate of fire and caliber of the cannon.
– Damage to the horizontal turret drive (traverse) now temporarily stops turret rotation. After expiration of a timer, you will be able to rotate the turret again, but at a reduced speed of 2 degrees per second.
– Damage to the vertical gun drive (elevation) will result in the weapon being locked in the position it held when it was damaged, but it will still be possible to elevate the gun by +/- 1 degree.
