Update 1.57 "Вattle March"

We are pleased to present update 1.57 “Battle March” - brand new vehicles, two new locations and many other game improvements.

Read the full list of changes in the changelog.

With the relentless “Battle March” towards the fields of conflict, you can expect a new branch of German open-topped SPGs: Pz.Jg. I, Pz.Sfl.IVa Dicker Max, Nashorn in addition to the existing Marders.

The greatest strength of these vehicles is their extremely powerful cannons!

Branches of other nations will receive intereaging machines as well. The КV-1S heavy tank and the Т-44-100 medium tank will make fans of the Soviet armoured vehicles happy, while the title of “one of the most desired tanks” now rightfully belongs to the Chieftain Mk.3!

Pilots! Meet the new aircraft that will soon be gracing the skies of War Thunder: P-61 U.S. heavy fighters, the FAW20 Sea Venom British jet fighter and the famous German ”Pfeil” Do 335 that will be available in three modifications. Additionally the Sunderland Mk.IIIa (Great Britain) and the MBR-2 (USSR) flying boats will also be joining the battle..

“Frozen Pass” and “Volokolamsk” - two new winter locations. Frozen Pass features picturesque Alpine landscape scenery while battles on the plain of “Volokolamsk” will be held amongst the rural countryside of Russia, with recreated fortifications created by the famous General Panfilovs’ 4th company 

 

An updated interface, new sounds and the “last man standing” feature. More accurate damage calculation and updated flight models for specific vehicles, plus dynamic light sources for explosion effects, shell hits, rocket launching and vehicle flame damage effects.

This and much more is waiting for you our fans in the “Battle March” update!

So the patch is released since nearby 10 days, I thought I can write a personal feedback and review what I think about the patch and the actual game.

 

First due to my long working days I'm still researching the KI-83 attacker but I've flied this plane in a test game to become a impression how it is. For a attacker this plane is in stock really good to handle, fly really smooth and it has for a attacker a amazing turn rate. If i must guess I would swear this plane is a fighter, but not everything in life is perfect so this plane as well, as a negative aspect is the low ammunition. In theory 250 shoots are looking good for 20mm and 30mm but the most effective belt for these cannons are the stealth belt for a high amount of damage, if you choose a other belt you will see it's complete difrent, except the 30mm cannons and this is why I believe this plane needs a little bit battle experience to fly it correct. The positive thing ont hese weapons is they are all under the nose of the plane. This is really useful so like the BF109 or DO217 or the russian LAGG3 or YAK9, as you allready knows that nose weapons have a less spread than other weapons on or under the wing so they are more precisions.

 

So all in all it looks really good and I can't await to get some battle experience with it and tell something more about the climb and turn rate when it's fully upgraded.

 

The next thing is specialy for me sad, maybe this is just a feeling but I'm sure the japanese players are get less and less over the time, today I played a couple of rounds and in each round I was the only japanese pilot on both sides.

And this is excatcly this that everyone of our clans can answer, that are countable reasons to not fly the japanese. I know we have other nations with more and better planes as the japanese but in the most games I have a good kill death rate, but I'm still a loyal japanese fan, if I can i would paint a anime character on my planes

 

And one last thing please share all of your impressions of your new planes and tanks here, because for me who have just one nation full upgraded are the other nations with new high planes not reachable in a short time. So where I want your feedback what you guys are thinking about your new toys.

 

 

Ps Push Gajin to implement some japanese tanks

 

Many thanks in advance for all your time and attention.
