• SARC Mk IVa - smoke reload has been added.


• AuF1 - thickness of the barrel has been increased from 35 to 40 mm, similar to other vehicles with guns of the same calibre.

Improvements

The following improvements have been made:

• The sound of the automatic cannon Vulcan M168, M61A1, JM61A1 has been corrected to exactly match the claimed 6000 rpm fire rate (3000 in the alternate mode).


• The sound of enemy/allied ground vehicles engines becomes more noticeable or muffled with distance.


• The work on the new dialogs of the ground vehicles crews is still in progress. Incorrect replies will be fixed, poor acting of voice-overs will be re-recorded. This will be implemented to all languages, but first of all for Polish and Chinese, since there are many complaints.

War Thunder is constantly improving and specific fixes may be implemented without the client being updated. The current provided changelog reflects the major changes within the game as part of this Update. Some updates, additions and fixes may not be listed in the provided notes.
