Gaijin Entertainment has released Update 2.7.0.218 for War Thunder that fixed the “bomber” tutorial in current-gen consoles and improved decoration cards, among others.
Bomber Tutorial for Consoles
The game does a pretty good job of telling you how to control the different types of vehicles via tutorials.
That said, those who are using current-gen consoles, the Xbox Series X/S or Playstation 5, may find themselves unable to pass the “bomber” tutorial. The devs said that this issue is only reproduced on these devices and has already been fixed.
Now, you can play the game as usual by passing the tutorial with flying colors.
Improved Decoration Cards
Because of the various vehicle customization items that are available in the game, you might get confused as to which decoration cards you can use on a particular vehicle.
This is especially true when talking about ship decorations as they are further divided by applicability on the bluewater and coastal fleet.
Fortunately, the developers have added a tag to the decoration cards to avoid confusion. Now, the cards will indicate the specific vehicle type on which the selected decoration can be used.
