Leaderboards

Leaderboards are already open! To join the ship leaderboard, a minimum of 5 naval battles is required, and for the tank leaderboard you need to have participated in at least 5 battles using ground vehicles.

The rating season ends on June 6th, 2024, at 10:00 (GMT). Rewards will be distributed within a few days after the leaderboards are frozen. It’s important to note that rewards may be given out at different times for different leaderboards.

Corrections

Tanks:

• The bug that caused the old icon on the CM25's firing button to be displayed has been fixed.
• Gamepad control not working in tank battles has been fixed.

Ships:

• "Gnevnyy" is the first ship for which the mechanics of firing bursts from the main caliber weapon will be implemented. On the "Gnevnyy", it is a ZIF-75, 57mm autocannon. Important: the player will only get control of one 57mm cannon, the other 3 will be under the control of the air defense group.
• The bug that caused the whole set of depth bombs to not be dropped has been fixed.

Aircraft:

• A button that allows looking backwards while flying has been added.
• The "deceleration" on the power slider is now displayed in the same place as the power percentage.

Other

• X-ray model quality on low and medium graphic settings has been returned to its previous state.
• Overlapping of the last rows of rewards in the leaderboards has been fixed.
• A number of issues that could cause the game to crash have been fixed.

We wish you many victories in War Thunder Mobile!
