So in the future the game will be playable on different Shield devices and not just Android TV. We decided to focus on making War Thunder available on GeForce Now streaming service instead of native Android client. Obviously, there are also a lot of under-the-hood tweaks and fixes that can be discovered in the (very long) changelog.īuy the Logitech G X56 H.O.T.A.S.Attention! Dear players! With major update 1.77 release, the open beta of Shield Android TV version of the game will be over. In addition to the above, many (most/all?) gun sounds have been redone and they are more realistic now, mainly when talking about low-tier aircraft (this is what I can tell after just a few battles, the truth might be a bit different). Spaceport and Breslau ground locations.More than a dozen of new ships, overhauled naval aiming system, highly improved water visual effects.

The YAH-64 (squadron vehicle) and detailed cockpit for a few other helos.A dozen new ground vehicles, such as the Vickers Mk.3 and the Marder 1A3.

No less than 17 new and updated aircraft, including the JA37C Jaktviggen and Saab J35A Draken, as well as the MiG-27M, which debuts as the first plane to carry guided bombs.

Without any further ado, here are the highlights of the War Thunder 2.9 “Direct Hit” update:

This means that a lot of goodies have been added to the game, although the new naval aiming system might not be too popular, at least for a while. Major updates to War Thunder usually hit 4 or 5 GB in size, but today’s arrival is massive, weighing no less than 7.62 GB (at least for Windows PC users, but I can safely assume that console and Linux PC players have to download about the same amount of data).
