Developer Gaijin Entertainment has released a new update for War Thunder that optimizes camouflage loading, fixes battle tasks, and more.
Optimized Camouflage Loading
The developers have re-implemented a feature that allows you to download additional content only when you are in the hangar.
That said, they’ve also added optimizations when loading content from storage. Any market camouflages you have purchased or encountered in combat will be stored in a special location inside the game’s installation directory. As it gets filled up, the game would automatically overwrite the saved camouflages with new ones. Further, the maximum storage capacity on Xbox and PC has been expanded.
Battle Tasks Fixed
There are rare cases where tasks requiring you to destroy something will be credited to the next vehicle you select, not the vehicle that completed it. This has now been fixed, and the task will be scored accurately to the right vehicle from now on.
Patch Highlights
- The remaining ammo of the first stage ammo rack in ground vehicles is now indicated in the left bottom corner on the damage panel.
- Option “Download additional content only in the hangar” has been added to the “Customization of vehicles” menu tab.
- To optimize downloading of custom camouflages or those encountered in battle from the Market, the maximum volume of the data storage has been increased for PC and Xbox versions.
- Camouflage card is now again displayed when hovering the cursor over the camo’s name with no need to open the full list of available camos.
- A bug has been fixed where torpedoes and other auxiliary armaments on naval craft might appear over the vessel.
- A bug has been fixed where certain terms in the Battle tasks might count the most recent player vehicle instead of those which gained a frag.
- A-26B-10, A-26B-50, A-26C-45, A-26C-45DT: A bug that allowed the lower aft turret to fire through the fuselage of the aircraft has been fixed. Dead zone angles have been corrected.
- Ju 87 (all modifications): A bug where the landing gear on the aircraft remained in the air after the wing was detached has been fixed
- RN Aviere: Information about the year of ship’s modification has been fixed in its vehicle card.
- HMS Churchill: Number of the torpedoes in the weaponry preset with depth bombs has been corrected.
War Thunder Update 2.7.0.204 is now available on Xbox One, Xbox Series X/S, PS4, PS5, and PC.
