War Thunder has received a new patch that adds the Protection Map feature on supported consoles. It also improved and fixed the bugs in Terramorphing.
Nifty Tool
Update 2.11.0.41 adds the Protection Map feature to the PS4, PS5, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X/S versions of the game.
For the uninitiated, this handy tool lets you see a “map” of a particular vehicle’s weak points based on a selected shell type.
With this, you no longer have to make guesses because you already know where the best spots are.
Improved Terramorphing
Terramorphing was introduced in the Ground Breaking update. This is a feature where you can equip some ground vehicles with huge blades to create a mound of soil to protect your units. Alternatively, this can be done using explosives.
Anyway, some fixes and improvements have been implemented. Certain objects that remained in the air, for example, have been removed. The artifacts that may appear on certain platforms have been addressed too.
