War Thunder got a new patch recently that brought a lot of important bug fixes. One notable issue fixed in Update 2.23.0.67 has something to do with ground vehicles.
Back then, there was a bug that caused the hit indicator on ground vehicles to occasionally show the wrong direction of incoming fire. This is problematic because you could get killed by accidentally putting yourself in harm’s way. There’s no need to worry now as Gaijin Entertainment has patched this up in the latest update.
In addition, the issue where a misplaced shadow appears near your vehicle after changing graphics settings has been resolved.
In terms of improvements, icy surfaces in War Thunder now feel more slippery. Be sure to take that into account, especially when using ground vehicles with poor traction on such surfaces.
