[h3][url=https://steamcommunity.com/app/236390/discussions/3/3432326055077371285/][b][quote]Please feel free to leave your feedback on these changes in the dedicated "It’s fixed! №61" thread[/quote][/b][/url][/h3] [h1]Laser Aiming[/h1] [img]https://clan.cloudflare.steamstatic.com/images//4649813/5160eee0a0f8d3c1cd782c1ff937389da50941a4.jpg[/img] We listen closely to the feedback you leave us. Thanks to your comments we’ve added a new feature to several SPAAGs: from SIDAM 25 to M247. Now the range measured with the laser rangefinder will be automatically input into your sights. Aim with comfort! [h1]Leopard, Behave![/h1] [img]https://clan.cloudflare.steamstatic.com/images//4649813/0bcdb0b2af7e66dbafe6c3a47df8baebcd2e4dc2.jpg[/img] Another fix we’ve made thanks to your feedback is related to the medium tank, the Leopard 2K. When its machine gun ammunition was hit, it did not disappear. That was an error, and we’ve fixed it. [h1]Reworked decals[/h1] [img]https://clan.cloudflare.steamstatic.com/images//4649813/7c4307a3f1e0ee34a0955f70dfbf9a2b0862f05e.jpg[/img] The “decals” tab in the player profile has been radically reworked. Now you can find all the necessary information and possible actions in a single window. You can check out the preview and description of the decal and learn of a way to earn it. decals that you haven’t received yet are now shown in full colour, but with a lock icon: in their case you can start tracking the unlock progress, or just purchase them outright. For the decals that you already have you’ll find an option to apply them to a selected vehicle in the hangar, for the collectable ones — to check out the collections, and for marketable ones — to search and activate a coupon. Everything you ever wanted, all in one place. Since all the features related to decals are now available in the player profile, we will soon remove the decals from the “Achievements” menu. [h1]That’s Not All[/h1] We are continuing to work on improving War Thunder. The blowout panels have been fixed for even more tanks, the achievement comparison button now works properly, and in VR the weapons lock indicator is no longer tied to the head movements. [h1]More improvements[/h1] For this digest we have prepared a large set of useful fixes and game improvements. Be sure to read the full list below - there are many interesting things. Once again, many thanks for all your bug reports that you submitted using our [url=https://community.gaijin.net/issues/p/warthunder]special service[/url].
