Clan UGH

These proposed changes are not arbitrary. Over the past several years, we have been working behind the scenes to improve the economic models for our game. To that end, we've been experimenting with various new economy models internally to strike the right balance between maintaining an engaging gameplay experience and ensuring the long-term viability of the game. These models have been crafted to suit a range of gaming preferences, while also considering the need for a fair monetization system that would allow us to continue improving and expanding War Thunder. We have conducted long-time tests on thousands of random players, by increasing their progression speeds with different ratios and analysing their long term engagement compared to baseline.

We’re continuing to follow the Roadmap that we released in June. Skill bonuses in RP have arrived in the “Kings of Battle” major update, and optional night battles and their rewards will be enabled soon in a future small update, which we’ll announce. Today, we’d like to explain the details surrounding these two mechanics. We fully appreciate the patience that you’ve had while waiting for these as well as the feedback you left. Let’s dive into the details.

The displaying of nicknames for all Gaijin users has been unified.
Added support for Unicode letters and numbers that allows the vast majority of nicknames from Steam to look unchanged in Gaijin services. If you encounter any issues, please report them on community.gaijin.net.

New trees and wind effects — Shots and explosions — Destroyable ammo and decorators — Aircraft voice warning systems — Realistic HUD for helicopters

We’re introducing a brand new technology for the trees present on Ground Forces battlefields.
In our efforts to make tank battles even more spectacular, the game will now have new effects for the discharge of powder gasses after every shot. Prolonged bursts of machine gun fire and autocannons now also lead to reddening of the barrels due to heating. The effects of hits to enemy vehicles have also been improved.
On modern aircraft, voice informant warnings will now be present on those aircraft that had them. Pilots will be able to hear them both in third-person view and while playing from the cockpit. “Bitchin’ Betty” will warn you about dangerous altitudes, critical G-force overloads, warning signals from the radar warning receiver, and alert you to the readiness of guided weapons on the aircraft.
The cockpits of modern helicopters will now also be equipped with fully functional HUDs similar to what some aircraft already have. The first helicopters to receive the new HUDS are the Ka-50/52, Mi-28N/NM and Mi-35M series of helicopters.
