Les ajouts de la MàJ 1.41.26.X
Les batailles mixtes avions-tanks sont disponibles en arcade !
Les connexions au réseau ont été optimisées (trafique réduit).
Ajout de membres d'équipage visibles sur les véhicules ouverts.
Nouvelles missions/cartes:
Nouvelle carte pour les chars: “Carpathian mountains”
Dimension en arcade: 1.1x1.1km
Dimension en réaliste et simulateur: 2x2km
Nouvelles missions:
[Domination] Berlin;
[Domination] Britain;
[Domination] Korsun;
Changements dans les cartes et missions pour les unités au sol:
Dans les missions historiques “Kuban”, “Jungle” et “Ash River”, les côtés de chaque nation ne seront plus liés à un point d'apparition spécifique. Les points d'apparitions seront sélectionnés aléatoirement au début du match, et ne dépendent plus de la nation choisie.
Les missions pour chars [Domination] Kuban et [Domination] Ash River voient des nouveaux évènements internes apparaître. Chaque évènement a un impact sur les chances de gagner de l'équipe
Carte: “Kuban”
Toutes les régions Nord-Ouest de la carte, plus élevées que les régions Sud-Est, ont été rabaissées. Ceci devrait accélérer le rythme de jeu de la carte, et permettre aux tanks de changer de flancs sans passer trop de temps à grimper les pentes.
Une mission pour retrouver des documents vers la carcasse de l'avion a été ajoutée au mode [Domination].
Ajout du mode [Capture], dans lequel il faut capturer des points qui apparaissent et disparaissent sans cesse. Chaque nouvelle zone qui apparaît donne plus de point qu'une zone plus ancienne.
Carte: “Jungle”
La partie Sud de la carte a été totalement changée. Maintenant, les joueurs peuvent l'utiliser pour flanquer l'adversaire. Les buttes sur la plage font partie de la carte, et peuvent être utilisées pour sniper.
Les rivières sont maintenant plus larges, mais moins profondes, ce qui permet de traverser les zones d'eau quasiment partout. Le centre de la carte a des routes additionnelles, autour des collines et le long des rives, ce qui offre des passages vers l'arrière des lignes ennemies.
Le bas de le zone d'apparition du côté allemand a été abaissée, pour éviter des tirs dans ou depuis la zone initiale.
La densité du feuillage a été réduite, pour rendre la carte plus "ouverte".
Carte: “Ash River”
Le colline face à l'aérodrome Nord a été supprimée, elle entravait le décollage des bombardiers.
Changements pour les cartes et les missions des unités aériennes:
[Operation] Ruhr
Evènement avec des avions de reconnaissance désactivé, un évènement avec des avions d'attaque au sol le remplace.
Nouveaux véhicules:
Chars:
Tank premium de réserve Pz.Kpfw II ausf C avec des dessins des unités ayant servies en Afrique (+decal);
Tank premium de réserve T-26 avec camouflage d'hivers de la 1ère Brigade Blindée de la Guarde (+decal);
Veuillez réaliser que s'il s'agît de la toute première bataille au sol pour un joueur, avec les Allemands ou l' URSS, le joueur recevra un des tanks premiums (l'un ou l'autre, pas les deux) Ceci seulement si aucun chasseur premium de réserve n'a déjà été reçu par le passé.

Correction des couches d'armure de la coupole du commandant sur le Pz.Kpfw VI ausf B (avec tourelle Henschel et canon KwK46) de 100 à 150mm, en accord avec "Der Panzer-Kampfwagen Tiger und seine Abarten" page 208;
Correction de la masse du tank Pz.Kpfw V ausf G de 43 000kg à 44 800kg, en accord avec "Panther and Its Variants" page 232.;

General changes:
•New air and ground vehicles
•Possibility to view detailed armouring model and inner modules locations for the ground forces in hangar
•
New arcade tank battle mode
◦
The destruction of enemy vehicles now adds an opportunity to activate a special “aerial battle”, where players can participate in the form of temporary flyouts using an attacker or bomber.
◦
The activation of an aerial battle grants other players the possibility of using a fighter to destroy or protect the initiator of the battle. Players who are in the squad with the initiator will receive a head-start on selecting the fighter
◦
Aircraft used in aerial battles are not aircraft that players have necessarily unlocked – they are specifically set for the mission. Those aircraft require no repair or leveling and progress on them will go towards tank progress.
◦
Artillery support mechanics have been re-worked. Now they can be stored to a maximum of three strikes and will also require enemy vehicle destruction to be activated.
◦
More details in the DevBlog
•
New Realistic Battle mode:
◦
Destroying enemy vehicles, dealing damage and capturing zones will give you earned points which you may spend for further respawns in any vehicles set in your line-up before the battle.
◦
After starting the session, each player in the team will receive an initial 400 Points which he spends to get the first vehicle to participate in the battle;
◦
Matchmaking is calculated according to the vehicle that has maximum BR in the line-up;
◦
If the player fails to earn enough points for respawn before his vehicle is destroyed, he withdraws from the battle;
◦
A team wins once it accomplishes the mission’s task or destroys all enemy vehicles – the same as for standard War Thunder missions.
◦
The given numbers are calculated if the vehicle you wish to respawn in has highest BR in the battle. If there are vehicles with higher BR than the vehicle you want to respawn in, you will need to spend less points.
◦
With BR difference of 1.0 and more in your line-up maximum step-down ratio is 0.75
•
Air Race mode has been added:

Dear Pilots and Tankers,
As part of the Weapons of Victory update (1.70.1949.XX) there has been a change to the Friends List and the interactions between players.
Changelog => http://warthunder.co...log/current/439
Interface:
•Daily awards interface has been changed.
•Format of Information regarding damage to enemy ground vehicles has been changed.
•Player status (online/offline or in the battle) would be shown only for mutual friends. This allows you to hide your presence in the game from your enemies.
Many of you have become confused with this change. You must now cross-friend all those who you wish to interact with. You MUST friend themAND they MUST friend you for it to function correctly. You need to now contact and cross friend all those players that you choose to play with.
This is NOT A BUG - it is an intentional change.
Everyone needs to actually complete the de-friending/be-friending process before it functions fully.
To complete the process remove any name(s) from the search field and click Friends for your list to return or restart your client for the changes to fully take effect.
This ensures that the "who's online" system is only usable by mutual friends. This has been changed to prevent the harassment of players.
Sincerely,
WT Staff
