Sound

• Voice messages of the tank crew about switching on/off of the night vision mode have been removed.

• The work on the new dialogs of the ground vehicles crews is still in progress. Incorrect replies will be fixed, poor acting of voice-overs will be re-recorded. This will be implemented to all languages, but first of all for Polish and Chinese, since there are many complaints.

Thank you for listening to feedback about the new voices but, would it be possible to decrease the radio static at least in modern vehicles? It sometimes make the line impossible to understand.

Voice messages of the tank crew about switching on/off of the night vision mode have been removed.

Awesome! I will now put the crew voice volume back up, this was  stupidly annoying , however something still needs to be done about the Roland SAMs flight performance in game, its absolutely woeful and is currently seriously affecting USA, Germany and France's Spaa capabilities negatively.

Please just please!!! stop touch the sounds. Now you can hear allied tank at 500 meters perfectly but you cant ear a enemy tank at 10 meters.

 

And fix the map rotation is compleyely destroyed right now

While on the topic of crew voices, it might make more sense for the Canadian vehicles (C2A1, ADATS M113) to use the American voices. It's a little weird to have the C2A1 crew speaking German.

The Xbox servers are having unresponsive issues. I noticed this same issue happening over 9 months ago, and it seems it is back. Maybe it happens during large scale updates? Either way, until it is fixed I cannot play War Thunder as it puts me in an endless “processing operations” screen.

Another problem after an update. Thermals are affected again. This happened a couple of updates ago. Not so bad this time but almost the same. 

 

Pics are attached here. Can barely see the vehicles. There is some thermal heat showing but not much. Not nearly as much as normally. It is affecting the game. Especially at far off distance, can hardly see the tanks at all. 

 

Please correct, again. 

Edit : upon playing further, yes it IS as bad as last time. All the vehicles are now gray instead of white. They're blending into the background, once again. It was unplayable before a few updates ago when this happened. And it's happened again. 

Spoiler

Didn't see anything about the US F-4J having combat flaps removed leaving only raised and takeoff? And also the bomb ground targeting is stuck at closed crosshair regardless of altitude, speed, or angle.

Any ETA on Xbox fixes?

We need something more than, for example "And fix the map rotation is compleyely destroyed right now ". I have no clue what you mean, sorry.
