=== Naval characteristics, physics and damage model: ===

* Damage from fires and fire damage model have been fixed — conditions of occurrence, damage and spreading of fires have been reworked and corrected:
** Fires with main calibre turrets, elevators and shell rooms — dynamics and damage from fire when it spreads down from turrets and elevators to the shell rooms. Now the player has time to quickly extinguish it before the fire begins to damage the elevator or shell room. If the fire is not extinguished, it will go out on its own after 30-45 seconds, but at the end of the burning time, with a certain probability, it can cause detonation of the cellars.
** Internal fires — spread of fires to the adjacent rooms has been fixed. Now, if a module with a crew is separated from the neighbouring modules by armour or ship structure. The fire won't spread. The fire will cease over time, inflicting some damage to the module.
** Effect of fire on torpedoes, sea mines, and depth charges — chance of detonation when affected by fire has been corrected. Every second of the inflicted damage, the chance of detonation now equals 1-3%.
* Water surface detonation of HE shells with direct fuzes has been fixed — all HE shells with direct action fuzes now detonate when hitting the water's surface.

* IJN Mogami — seaplanes and their positions have been changed. They have been removed from catapults mounted on the deck storage. One of three Aichi E13A has been changed to the Kawanishi E7K.
* Emden, K2, Z15 Erich Steinbrink, Z20 Karl Galster — armour shields on the 20-40mm turrets have been separated from guns to become independent parts.
* HMS Norfolk — size of the shell room armour has been corrected. Armouring of elevators for the main calibre guns has been added in the area of top armour plates of the shell rooms.
* HMS Dreadnought - roof and deck armouring in the conning towers have been increased. Deck armouring has been increased in the areas of the 1st and 4th main calibre turrets

* USS Helena — The animation for the fire control tower array rotation has been fixed.

=== Interface ===

* Tooltips in X-Ray view for a cannon's fire rate will now be displayed without rounding to whole numbers. For example 3.8 rounds/min instead of 4 rounds/min.

= Economy and research =

* The difference in rewards in SL and RP for the destruction of ground vehicles of different classes - light/medium tank, heavy tank, SPG, Anti-Aircraft (for other types of vehicles, the division of rewards by class will not be used) has been removed.
* Type 93 - BR in all gaming modes has been reduced from 9.7 to 9.0
* Pbil m/40 - BR in all gaming modes has been increased from 1.3 to 1.7.
* Crusader AA Mk.I - BR in the Arcade mode has been reduced from 4.7 to 4.3. The vehicle has been moved from rank IV to rank III

= Customization =

* M247 — Standard camouflage has been corrected to the late camouflage.

= Interface =

* Detailed information about the amount of score awarded for each type of action in battle has been added to the game statistics. Information is displayed in the tooltip for a total score in the statistics and is available for each player during battle, in the after battle statistics window and in replay.
* In test drives for Premium vehicles, the vehicle modifications are now set to "Reference" by default.

= Game mechanics =

Terramorphing mechanics has been added. Terrains and soils now interact with caterpillars and dozer blades of tanks, bombs and rockets explosions leave craters of the terrain surfaces.

* Rules for aircraft respawn costs in SP (spawn points) have been recalculated for ground RB mode. The below mentioned changes affect all aircraft and all mounted weaponry available, but the minimal (with no secondary armament at the lower limit of the session's BR) and maximal (with the most devastating preset available) spawn costs remain pretty much the same. For example, La-7 (BR 4.7) without secondary armament previously required 480 SP, now it take the same 480 SP; MiG-27M (BR 11.0) with 7xFAB-500M-62 bombs in BR 11.0 session previously required 750 SP (600 SP for the aircraft + 150 SP for the armament), and now it requires 739 SP (540 SP for the aircraft + 199 SP for the armament). Detailed description of the changes are below:
** The influence of the session's Battle Rating has been reduced for basic aircraft costs (without mounted weapons) from 20% to 10% while maintaining the same minimum cost. For example, for fighters, the base cost is now 480-540, instead of 480-600 RP;
** The parameters in the influence of devastation power of selected secondary weaponry on its cost have been changed. In general, more powerful weapons have received a higher cost, and vice versa. For example, for a 500 kg bomb the cost will be 9% of the host's cost instead of the previous 13%, and for a 2,000 kg bomb - 37% instead of 25%;
** Mounted weaponry costs have been introduced, instead of fixed costs for spawning into battle. Basic cost is now 520-580 RP (depending on the session's BR), and the mounted weapons costs are between 3-37% of the host's costs;
** The above mentioned changes afftect all aircraft and all mounted weaponry available, but the minimal (with no secondary armament at the lower limit of the session's BR) and maximal (with the most devaststing preset available) spawn costs remain pretty much the same.
* Rules for aircraft respawn costs in SP (spawn points) have been recalculated for ground SB mode:
** Mounted weaponry costs have been introduced for bombers, instead of fixed costs for spawning into battle. Basic cost is now 300 SP instead of 450 SP as with fighters and strike aircraft, and the mounted weapons costs are between 9-111 SP.
** The parameters in the influence of devastation power of selected secondary weapons on its cost have been changed. In general, more powerful weapons have received a higher cost, and vice versa. For example, for a 500 kg bomb the cost will be 39 SP instead of previous 27, and for a 2,000 kg bomb - 111 SP instead of 75;
** SP costs for armour-piercing ammo belts and mounted ATGM weapons have been increased.

'''Please note!''' The changes listed below relate to the stat points where players are sorted in the respective in-game menus, and '''do not affect Silver Lions and / or Research Points''' earnings for the mentioned actions.

* Dependence on score awarded in the difference between the player's Battle Rating and the target in case of critical damage, destruction and assistance in the destruction of the enemy has been added. The multiplier will be calculated by the quadratic dependence (1 - 0.014 * (difference of BR) ^ 2) and can not be more than 1.0 and less than 0.1. For example if you destroy a vehicle with a BR of 8.7 using a vehicle of BR 9.7 (3 BR steps difference) the multiplier will be (1 - 0.014 * 3 ^ 2) = 0.874.
* The accrual of score for a loss of vehicles in the amount of 30% of the points awarded to the enemy for destruction (for all types of vehicles) has been added. At the same time the number of points awarded upon receiving damage has been changed: for ground vehicles from 30 to 5, for fleet from 5 to 1. This mechanic hasn't been used for aircraft.
* The basic number of score (with zero difference in BR) accrued for the destruction of ground vehicles has been changed and now doesn't depend on the type of target:
** Light and medium tank: 126 → 150;
** Heavy tank: 180 → 150;
** Anti-aircraft: 90 → 150;
** SPG: 144 → 150.
* In Naval Battles, score coefficients for damaging or destroying enemies, hits to enemies and destruction assistance have been recalculated, so that the greater contribution to the destruction of the enemy (more damage done) brings more score. The number of score awarded for damaging enemy ships has been increased from 0.1 to 0.15 for each unit of damage. At the same time, points for destruction of the enemy have been reduced from 75 to 40, for assistance in the destruction of the enemy from 20 to 15 and for hitting the enemy from 3 to 2.
* The accrual of score when being close to the enemy (relevant for all types of vehicles) has been removed.
* The accrual of points when playing in ground vehicles while being in line of sight of enemy players has been removed.
* A mounted armament reward multiplier (in Silver Lions) has been introduced for the scored points when damaging or destroying enemy bases, in order to reduce the difference of the statistics points between aircraft of the same rank with different bomb load. This multiplier was previously used only in the economy to calculate the total award, which made it possible to equalize the earnings of these aircraft, but at the same time they still received a very different number of points in statistics.
* The number of points earned for damaging and destroying enemy bases has been increased by 10% to 70% for aircraft of ranks I-III.
* The number of points earned for destroying AI-controlled ground vehicles and ships in air RB mode has been reduced by 40%.
* Using radars no longer allows players to visually see enemy aircraft when out of visual range.
* Automatic laser designation and automatic target lock before ATGM launch can be disabled in game options. This helps using laser-guided missiles in locking-on after launch mode, when the laser designator is activated after launch.

= Graphics =

* Fire effects and explosions on ground vehicles have been reworked. The muzzle fire effect with an open breech has been added.

= Sound =

* Sound events for shell bursts on different surfaces have been separated for HE shells and shells without explosive mass (or with a small amount of explosive mass). New corresponding sound events have been created.
* New sound events for shell bursts of a calibre of 205mm and above have been added.
* For ships weighing 6,000 tonnes or above, new power plant sounds have been introduced, as well as for the water displaced by the ship's hull while in motion.

= Smaller updates that came afterwards =
== [[wt:en/game/changelog/current/1312|29.10.2021]] (Server update) ==

* A bug has been fixed where an aircraft respawn point in tank RB was distanced 15 km away from the battlefield at all Battle Ratings. Distanced respawns will be only used for high rank battles with a BR of 7.7 or above with distanced airfields. Previously, these airfields were used for battles at BR 6.7 or above. Please note, a session's BR is the highest available BR for players in the current session.

* On consoles a "protection map" has been added to the protection analysis menu. It creates and displays a projection of the protection by analyzing and highlighting the armour of the selected vehicle in different colours. The specified shells, distances and player's camera angle are taken into account.
* A bug has been fixed where in the "Front Line" missions in AB aviation may lack some AI vehicles, bunkers, and machine guns.

The modification "Laser rangefinder" has been updated to "LWS/LR", since this vehicle had a laser warning system.
* '''T26E5''' - magnification of the gunner sight has been changed from the fixed multiplier x5 to a variable multiplier 4x-8x. [https://forum.warthunder.com/index.php?/topic/539198-2021-11-01-211026-t26e5-wrong-lower-front-plate-inclination/ Source]. The thickness of the central bulge on the upper front plate has been increased from 162 to 242mm.

'''Changes to the scoring with statistics points'''

* In the "Ground Breaking" update we seriously reworked many mechanics for the mission scoring, as well as rebalancing values and multipliers for actions in different vehicles in different game modes. Now, based on the statistics gathered,we're ready to change certain values and multipliers to bring the accrual of mission score to the target indicators that will help bring activity to the desired level (already present for most of the vehicle types before the "Ground Breaking" update released).
* '''Ground vehicles, in all ground vehicle gaming modes:'''
** Basic mission score for destruction of an enemy ground vehicle (with zero difference in BR) has been increased: 150 → 180
** The mission score added in the score pool for capturing points for each additional capturer has been increased: 100 → 200 (i.e. the full capture of the enemy point by two players previously granted by (300 + 100) / 2 = 200 points for each, now increased to (300 + 200) / 2 = 250 points for each).
** The mission score awarded for successful active scouting: 3 → 5
** The mission score awarded to a scout vehicle for critical hit of a scouted enemy vehicle has been increased: 15 → 20
** The mission score awarded to a scout vehicle for the destruction of a scouted enemy vehicle has been increased: 45 → 60
** The mission score awarded to a scout vehicle for the destruction of an enemy vehicle after another scout's intelligence has been increased: 15 → 20
* '''Ships and boats, in all naval gaming modes:'''
** The mission score awarded for every point of damage inflicted to the enemy has been increased: 0.15 → 0.18 (i.e., destruction of a boat is now awarded with 216 points instead of 180, and the destruction of a destroyer — 396 instead of 330)
** The mission score awarded for a captured point has been increased: 175 → 200
** The mission score added to the score pool for capturing points for each additional capturer has been increased: 58 → 67 (i.e. the full capture of the enemy point by two players previously granted by (175+58)/2 points to each, now increased to (200+67)/2 points)
** The minimum mission score awarded for a captured point has been increased: 58 → 67
** The mission score awarded for destruction of an enemy has been reduced: 40 → 30
** The mission score awarded for assist has been reducedу: 15 → 10

*** Rank I: 1.7 → 2.2
*** Rank II: 1.4 → 1.6
*** Rank III: 1.0 → 1.3
*** Rank IV: 1.0 → 1.0
*** Rank V: 1.0 → 0.9
*** Rank VI: 1.0 → 0.85
*** Rank VII: 1.0 → 0.8
** Base (at zero BR difference) mission score awarded for enemy destruction has been increased: 360 → 450
** Base (at zero BR difference) mission score awarded for assisting in enemy destruction has been increased: 240 → 300
** Base (at zero BR difference) mission score awarded for critical enemy damage has been increased: 120 → 150

=== Naval characteristics, physics and damage model: ===

* Ballistics in naval shells have been corrected - changes have been implemented to the dynamics and speed loss, in accordance with historical data. The effect of air resistance has been fixed. As a result, the flight time has been changed. For the vast majority of shells the flight time has been reduced. Trajectories have become more flat, including according changes to fall angles. Speed loss at distance has been reduced that has resulted in increased armour penetration capabilities of many rounds. Changes affect almost all shells in naval battles, their parameters may be specified further in future. Shells with the most noticeable armour penetration value changes are (first parameter - distance 1,000 meters; second - 15,000 meters):
** SAP 130 mm/50 B-13: armour penetration increased by ~10-12 mm
** AP and SAP 180 mm/57 B-1P, B-1K, 152mm/57 B-38: armour penetration increased by ~25-40 mm
** SAP 127 mm/50 Mk.5: armour penetration increased by ~13-21 mm

*** When specifying ballistics first of all we tried to bring the flight time of the shells and its speed at different distances to the data from the documents listed.On most shells it turned out quite accurately. Absolute accuracy is currently impossible to achieve for objective reasons and limitations in the game engine. In future we plan to bring external ballistics to a more accurate simulation. Currently you can observe differences in the angles of incidence with shells for historical ones. This is also due to the limitations of the engine which we will eliminate during development. We also remind you that penetration data from the documents and in-game penetration may differ because in-game penetration is calculated uniformly according to a single formula for all shells and the documentary data may have been obtained in different ways: theoretical and practical. However the flight time and speed on the trajectory are now much closer to historical (and for many shells almost completely coincide) than they were before.
* 283mm/54.5 SK C/34 — Shell velocity dynamics that caused armour penetration to be lowered and flight time to be increased has been fixed.
* One coefficient of the armour penetration on the semi-AP rounds calculation has been fixed, resulting in a slight armour piercing value rise.
* '''Admiral Graf Spee''' - ship's armour has been corrected: the thickness on extremities and decks. The deck traverse has been separated into two plates of different thicknesses.
* '''Parizhskaya Kommuna''' - the dynamics of sinking and the behavior of the ship when flooding has been fixed. The ship no longer capsizes when losing buoyancy up to 60-80%
* '''USS Raleigh, USS Trenton''' - a model of fuel tanks has been added in the area of the ammunition room of the aft turrets of the main battery.
* '''USS Pensacola''' - the location of the central artillery post and the location of the aft ammunition stowages for secondary and anti-aircraft artillery have been changed.
* '''HMS Liverpool, HMS Southampton''' - armour has been added under the barbettes of the main caliber guns.
* '''USS Northampton''' - elevators have been added for the secondary guns.
* '''M-17''' - the internal geometry of the bow section of the ship has been fixed for the correct calculation of the received damage.

=== Naval Visual models and visual parts: ===

* '''MPK pr.12412''' - the mounted rescue boat has been removed during a battle session.
* '''HMS Blackpool''' - incorrect display of torpedoes inside of the torpedo tubes has been fixed.
* '''USS Raleigh''' - incorrect display of the elevator of the aft tower of the main battery in the x-ray has been fixed.
* '''USS Pensacola''' - the shape and dimensions of the fuel tanks have been changed in accordance with the blueprints.

= Economy and research =

* F-84F and Vautour IIA IDF/AF(Premium French aircraft) have been withdrawn from purchase. In future the Vautour IIA will appear as a premium vehicle in Israel's aircraft tree. Read details in the [[wt:en/news/7480-development-vautour-iia-and-vautour-iin-in-the-lineups-of-france-and-israel-en|Developers Diary]].
* '''F6F-5N (France)''' — Moved to a group with the F6F-5.

** Purchase cost has been reduced: 610.000 → 310.000 SL
** Crew training cost has been reduced 180.000 → 90.000 SL

= Customization =

* A bug has been fixed where the "Fire Arrows" achievement might only be completed using unguided rockets.
* "Emblem of the 61st Mechanised Battalion, South West Africa" decal has been added for the South African vehicles. The decal can be unlocked only with SA vehicles.
* '''R3 T106 FA, R3 T20 FA-HS''' — tricolor camo has been added available for Golden Eagles.
* New "Road Signs" decorations have been added and are available for purchase with GE.
* The logic of checking the player's vehicles for compliance with the condition in a task has been changed for most game tasks about 'damage, destruction and assist in the destruction of the enemy' that are used for obtaining camouflages, stickers, decorations, medals, titles, achievements etc. Now the vehicle that has been used for damage or destroying the enemy will be checked and not the one that the player was controlling at the moment of the event (damage, destruction and assist). For example earned on the aircraft achievements from air strikes in ground AB will be counted in the air vehicles even if at the moment the player is already in the tank, but destroys the enemy with an aircraft bomb. Gradually this logic will be extended to the rest of such tasks.

= Interface =

* In battle in the action bar's selection window, each point now has a fixed location. If some actions are missing on the vehicle, then instead of them there will be empty spaces in this menu.
* A new "Allow empty teams" point has been added In the options menu for creating custom battles that will allow you to start and continue missions without active players and bots in any of the teams.
* "Bots rank" has been removed from the options menu when creating custom battles. Now vehicles for any chosen bots are determined by the minimum allowed BR and the game session BR (used to determine whether to add long-range airfields. Helipads and other objects of high rank battles) and determined by the maximum allowed BR as it happens in random battles.
* SAM info cards now contains data on G-tolerance and seeker parameters.

= Game mechanics =

* [[wt:en/news/7453-development-the-battlecruiser-scharnhorst-and-shipboard-reconnaissance-aircraft-en|Scout aircraft in naval battles.]] The ability to launch a scout aircraft from the ship's catapult (if it has one) has been added to naval battles. It is necessary to open and install the appropriate modification beforehand. After the start of the battle, the launch of the aircraft becomes available after a specific time. To launch, activate the catapult (default "U"), point it outboard and launch the aircraft (default "U"). During flight, you can switch between the aircraft and the ship. As long as the player controls the aircraft the ship will remain on the course it was on at the time of launch. The ship will fire in accordance with the set shooter AI mode. If the ship is destroyed while controlling the aircraft the flight will end after a while. In addition to aerial fighting, scouting aircraft can:
** Capture points
** Drop bombs
** Deploy a smoke screen at altitudes of up to 50m
** Perform long-range scouting

== Usage in battles ==


This plane is rather fast, has an immense acceleration, but turns also very poorly. This feature however gives it a good energy retention that allows it to juggle enemies if they get behind. The Yak-28B is also infamous for its very inaccurate bombsight in level flight, so to counter this con, you should consider diving at -20° or lower as it makes your bombs more likely to hit their target. The CCIP function is available, however, as it was installed in the bombardier nose, the function is only available in 3rd person view (see https://forum.warthunder.com/index.php?/topic/534409-04-10-2021-yak-28b-ballistic-computer-only-working-in-3rd-person-2908/&do=findComment&comment=9128290). Once your bombs are dropped, you can either bait enemies (if you have countermeasures) or quickly return to the airfield to get ready for another bomb run.

'''Enemies worth noting:'''

* [[Harrier (Family)]]: Harriers are very common and can pose you a significant threat, especially the ones that are loaded with the AIM-9G (AV-8A, AV-8C, Harrier GR.3) that has a very long range and a good 18 G overload. Harriers can also very commonly be seen flying very high, so they're very likely to spot you and dive on you. But you have a higher speed and a slightly better climb rate, so when you see a Harrier, make sure you're the farthest away from him and try to keep that distance. But if it fires a missile less than 3 km away from you and you don't happen to have countermeasures, you're very likely to lose your aircraft.

* [[Lightning F.6]] / : another common enemy packed with some dangerous armement ([[Red Top]] missiles) and high performance that can easily sneak behind you. But you have an ace up your sleeve: Vertical manoeuvres. Since the Lightning has a high angle of attack, it will bleed a lot of speed when turning, and even more when manoeuvring vertically. So to avoid it, start a vertical manoeuvre and once the Lightning bled enough speed, dive back, and you'll easily leave him behind. Do remember however that having flares is recommended when attempting this kind of manoeuvre.

* [[F8U-2]] / [[T-2]]: The same applies to the F8U-2 and the T-2, except the T-2 has less dangerous missiles and slightly more speed.

* [[F-4C Phantom II|F-4C]]: Possibly your worst enemy. Although quite rare, this plane has access to the [[AIM-7D Sparrow]]. You can fool these with Chaff, but you don't have RWR so you can't know when the F-4C has you locked and when the Sparrow is coming. This plane also can outperform you in every possible way so if a F-4C is eager to chase you, get rid of it as fast as possible by requesting support from your team.

=== Pros and cons ===


'''Pros:'''

* Immense acceleration
* High top speed
* Very good climb rate
* Has access to flares and chaff for self-defense against missiles (64 units in total)
* High energy retention
* Above 1,000 km/h, your plane compresses very slightly. This allows you to pull hard in a turn without any significant overload
* Very resistant flaps and gear that acts like an airbrake
* Very easy stock grind (if you do not count the amount of RP needed)
* The 3,000 kg bomb is very useful for bombing runs in ground RB (in air RB too, as it can destroy every kind of bases and land targets)
* Has a primary weapon that can help you destroy some light ground targets at the end of the match

'''Cons:'''

* At the deck, this plane can redline and snap its wings even with no WEP (70% thrust allows you to stay outside the redline speed)
* No airbrakes
* Below 1,000 km/h, your plane will start to experience extreme overloads that can easily snap your wings within 4 seconds if you pull too hard
* Fuel starvation happens in negative-G manoeuvres
* Horrible turn rate that makes you vulnerable to even AIM-9Bs if you do not have countermeasures
* Low roll rate
* Extremely inaccurate bomb sight
* The drogue chute opens at 280 km/h and drops at 200 km/h
* Absolutely pitiful ammo capacity for NR-23 cannon renders it useless for nearly everything

The '''{{Specs|name}}''' is a rank {{Specs|rank}} German tank destroyer {{Battle-rating}}. This vehicle was introduced during the Closed Beta Test for Ground Forces before [[Update 1.41]].

A formidable armoured tank destroyer design, the Ferdinand can withstand most frontal shots when faced from a long distance, yet deliver a devastating attack with its 88 mm cannon.

'''Notes:'''

* Suspension wheels are 25 mm thick and tracks are 30 mm thick.
* The hull roof is some part 20 mm thick in areas while it is 80 mm thick more in the center area.
* Belly armour is 20 mm thick.
* Hull underside right above tracks are 25 mm thick.
* 30 mm RHA plates separate the engine compartment from the front and rear crew compartments.
* A 30 mm RHA plate separates the driver and assistant driver.

The Ferdinand's front armour is superb with 100 + 100 mm on the largest spots, the front hull and casemate structure. However, these armour plates are not very angled so if in possession of a gun able to penetrate 200+ mm, there's a high chance it will penetrate Ferdinand's front.

If not, there are certain weak points in the front that could be used. The first are the side cheeks on the front hull, next to the 200 mm cumulative plates. These are only 80 mm thick and is angled so that they are ~120 mm effectiveness from the front. The lower glacis is also another 80 mm that provides ~120 mm effectiveness at their angle. These two points are nice weak points for weaker guns and other 88 mm guns.

The vehicle's *long* profile on the sides make it a very enticing target from a long distance. So it is very possible to flank the tank destroyer from its position and hit the tall casemate structure. With all the ammunition and 4/6 of the crew in there, there's a very good chance of crippling Ferdinand's fighting capabilities or igniting one of the ammunition racks.

== Usage in battles ==


The Ferdinand's natural role is as a long-range sniper thanks to its excellent firing range and frontal armour of more than 200 mm. Due to the frontal armour, this tank destroyer should always face the enemy to make use of it. Even though the Ferdinand is a heavy tank destroyer, it can rapidly drive backwards, which allows it to reposition more quickly than Red Army TD's like the SU-152 and ISU-152.

In a team, the Ferdinand acts as a heavy sniper, taking out enemies from afar while being almost immune to any tank shells. However, don't get too close to front-lines, since an enemy tank could slip through and flank the Ferdinand, which would put it in real danger.

Another possibility is as a front line brawler once most of the enemies have been cleared out. While it is not recommended, with flanking support of allies, the Ferdinand can venture further into enemy lines and take out everything that comes your way, but still watching for light tanks that will try to exploit the limited gun traverse to hit from the sides.

The most dangerous enemies of the Ferdinand are medium tanks and light tanks which can slip behind the Ferdinand since the back armour is weak. The Ferdinand has bad manoeuvrability and turning around is very slow.

IS-2 heavy tanks are a real threat to Ferdinand, as well as TD's of the same rank when firing sideways. Always face your armour frontally and take cover when possible.

=== Pros and cons ===

'''Pros:'''

* The armour is 200 mm thick on the front of the tank very few tanks can penetrate it
* Powerful 88 mm Pak gun with two loaders makes it able to destroy multiple targets in a short time
* Has the unique advantage of having its main gun mounted higher than other tank destroyers, can shoot over obstacles when others can't and can exploit tall hull-down positions
* Thanks to the transmission, Ferdinand can go backward as fast as it can go forward
* The transmission is rear-mounted, meaning a frontal penetration could still leave the tank in mobile condition
* Good natural steering
* Good optics for sniping
* 6 crew members make it difficult for opponents to knock it out
* Comes with a Bicolor camouflage

'''Cons:'''

* The tank loses speed and momentum when turning
* The hull's thin cheek armour's effectiveness decreases when angling
* Lower glacis is vulnerable to enemy fire
* The front armour is not angled
* Slow due to its heavy weight
* Doesn't like hills and other obstacles
* Flat surface on top of tank underneath the gun is vulnerable if an enemy is above you
* Less effective in urban combat maps (easily outflanked)

== History ==

===Development===
During the program to create what will end up being the [[Tiger H1|Tiger I]] tanks, Henschel and Porsche competed against each other for the contract to build the tanks. Porsche further developed their pre-existing 45 ton prototype, the [[VK 45.01 (P)]], while Henschel adapted their 36 ton prototype (VK 3601 H) to create the VK 4501 H. Henschel won the contract, but Porsche was extremely confident that their design would win that around 100 of the VK 4501 P chassis were already constructed. Since the design lost, it was determined to use the chassis for the basis of a new vehicle, namely a tank destroyer to mount the new and formidable [[PaK 43 (88 mm)|88mm Pak 43 anti-tank gun]]. These new tank destroyers were then called the '''Ferdinand''', after its designer Ferdinand Porsche.

The Ferdinand was a formidable tank destroyer design. Changes from the original VK 4501 P chassis was the movement of the engine towards the centre rather than the rear. The armour bolted onto the front plate gave the Ferdinand an armour thickness of 200 mm. Plus, with the 88mm Pak 43 on a fixed casemate design, it could knock out any allied tanks before they could enter effective ranges against the Ferdinand. 91 of the VK 4501 P chassis were converted into the Ferdinand. The design was not without its flaw though, mostly concerned with the heavy weight of 65 tons and an unreliable engine with the gasoline-electric drive system. Two Maybach 12 cylinder HL120 TRM engines with 265 hp constant power output drove 2 generators which powered 2 Siemens-Schuckert electric motors with 230 kW power output. This resulted in a top speed of only 20 kph and a very low operational range of only 150 km. Other lesser drawbacks were the lack of all-around vision ports and machine guns, which would be later addressed due to combat experience. Nevertheless, the engine and weight drawbacks would plague the Ferdinand design throughout its service life.

===Combat usage===
The Ferdinand's combat debut was in the Battle of Kursk, with 89 vehicles available. The Ferdinand was optimized for destroying Soviet tanks at long ranges (over 3 miles or 5 km) with it's 88 mm Pak 43/2 L/71 gun. The Ferdinand's flaws came to light during their movement; after advancing through Soviet defence lines, the Soviet infantry quickly recognized that it lacked peripheral vision blocks, a rotating turret (like most World War II tank destroyers for Germany) and the Ferdinand didn't even have a machine gun for anti-infantry purposes. Soviet infantry could hide in their trenches until the ''Ferdinand'' advanced the lines, then take out the vehicle with grenades and Molotov cocktails. Heinz Guderian remarked that Ferdinand's anti-infantry capabilities were essential "quail shooting with cannons".

Though the Ferdinand has great armour and firepower, most of the knocked out Ferdinands were due to anti-tank mines and mechanical failure. Damages to tracks forced the tank crew to exit the vehicle and repair it, and the 65-ton weight of the vehicle made armour recovery a nightmarish job, requiring five Bergepanzer IV ([[Pz.IV G|Panzer IV]] armour recovery vehicle) to tow one from the front lines. More Ferdinands were destroyed by their own crew to prevent capture than to combat losses due to the inability to easily recover these vehicles in a defensive war where German territory is gradually lost to the Soviets. Despite these drawbacks, the Ferdinands were much feared among the Soviet tankers, as the Ferdinand produced horrific losses among the Soviet armour corps. During the Battle of Kursk, the 653rd Heavy Tank Battalion claimed to have knocked out 320 enemy tanks, with the loss of 13 Ferdinands.

After Kursk, all surviving Ferdinands were recalled in September 1943 to be modified, which fixed most of the previous flaws. 48 of the 50 survivors were modified with a hull-mounted machine gun, a commander's cupola, and anti-magnetic ''Zimmerit'' paste to counter Soviet magnetic mines. The armour and track width of the vehicle was also enlarged and brought Ferdinand's 65 tons weight up to 70 tons. These modified vehicles are designated the '''Elefant'''. One of the Ferdinands unable to be converted to an Elefant due to battle damages began to be converted into a ''Rammpanzer Tiger'' or ''Rammtiger'' which was to be a breakthrough vehicle, though there is no evidence that it was completed or saw service. The Elefants then served in the Italian front against the Western Allies, but its heavyweight impeded its mobility on the rough terrain and the use of bridges and roads. After Italy, the Elefants didn't see much use due to the low quantity. One company of Elefants saw action during the Soviet's January 1945 Vistula-Oder offensive in Poland, and the last few surviving vehicles were in combat at Zossen during the Battle of Berlin. The Ferdinand may have been the most successful tank destroyer employed during the entire war in terms of claimed kills per loss, reaching an average ratio of approximately 10:1. This ratio could be given thanks to the armour and firepower of the tank destroyer, but in terms of operational capabilities the poor mobility, mechanical unreliability, and low quantity of these vehicles meant it had little impact in the overall strategic effect in the war.

===Survivors===
Today, two of these tank destroyers are left in intact conditions today. One Ferdinand was captured by the Soviets at Kursk and is now in display at the Kubinka Tank Museum. Another one, an Elefant, was captured by the Americans at Anzio, Italy. It was displayed at the US Army Ordinance Museum at Fort Lee, Virginia for many years and was restored to display condition in 2007. Currently, it is being loaned to the Bovington Tank Museum and is in the new exhibit "Tiger Collection".<ref name="FerdinandTankMuseum">The Tank Museum.

=== In-game description ===
The Ferdinand self-propelled artillery gun was developed in 1942 to 1943 from the experimental VK 4501 (P) tank, which was developed by Porsche but never entered military service. In 1943, the company Alkett built 90 of these guns.
The gun's layout was quite unusual, with the crew compartment placed at the rear of the spacious cabin. The driver and radio operator were located in the front part of the cabin, and a direct connection between this compartment and the crew compartment was impossible due to heat-resistant metal partitions installed between the two compartments, where the engine and other equipment were located.

The Ferdinand was equipped with an 88 mm rifled 8,8 cm Stuk 43 gun with a long 71 caliber barrel. This gun was specially adapted to be mounted on the PaK 43 self-propelled anti-tank gun. The gun had excellent ballistics and at the time of its release was the strongest weapon available for tanks and self-propelled guns. Even until the end of the war, it could easily hit all types of armored vehicles. The vehicle's frontal armor had a thickness of 200 mm. Its total weight was 68 tons.

The self-propelled gun saw its first combat operation at the Kursk Bulge, as a part of the 653rd and 654th tank destroyer divisions. From July to November 1943, these divisions destroyed 582 Soviet tanks, losing 43 of their own vehicles in the process.

Serious shortcomings of this tank destroyed included its lack of machine guns for defense against infantry attacks, low speed and maneuverability, and low maximum range.
However, the German military valued the controllability and survivability of the vehicle's engine and transmission. A suspension with longitudinal torsion bars was much easier to maintain and repair when compared to a staggered torsion bar suspension, but it was very difficult to manufacture and less reliable in the field.

Plus, with the 88mm Pak 43 on a fixed casemate design, it could knock out any allied tanks before they could enter effective ranges against the Ferdinand. 91 of the VK 4501 P chassis were converted into the Ferdinand. The design was not without its flaw though, mostly concerned with the heavy weight of 65 tons and an unreliable engine with the gasoline-electric drive system. Two Maybach 12 cylinder HL120 TRM engines with 265 hp constant power output drove 2 generators which powered 2 Siemens-Schuckert electric motors with 230 kW power output. This resulted in a top speed of only 20 kph and a very low operational range of only 150 km. Other lesser drawbacks were the lack of all-around vision ports and machine guns, which would be later addressed due to combat experience. Nevertheless, the engine and weight drawbacks would plague the Ferdinand design throughout its service life.

===Combat usage===
The Ferdinand's combat debut was in the Battle of Kursk, with 89 vehicles available. The Ferdinand was optimized for destroying Soviet tanks at long ranges (over 3 miles or 5 km) with it's 88 mm Pak 43/2 L/71 gun. The Ferdinand's flaws came to light during their movement; after advancing through Soviet defence lines, the Soviet infantry quickly recognized that it lacked peripheral vision blocks, a rotating turret (like most World War II tank destroyers for Germany) and the Ferdinand didn't even have a machine gun for anti-infantry purposes. Soviet infantry could hide in their trenches until the ''Ferdinand'' advanced the lines, then take out the vehicle with grenades and Molotov cocktails. Heinz Guderian remarked that Ferdinand's anti-infantry capabilities were essential "quail shooting with cannons".

Though the Ferdinand has great armour and firepower, most of the knocked out Ferdinands were due to anti-tank mines and mechanical failure. Damages to tracks forced the tank crew to exit the vehicle and repair it, and the 65-ton weight of the vehicle made armour recovery a nightmarish job, requiring five Bergepanzer IV ([[Pz.IV G|Panzer IV]] armour recovery vehicle) to tow one from the front lines. More Ferdinand were destroyed by their own crew to prevent capture than to combat losses due to the inability to easily recover these vehicles in a defensive war where German territory is gradually lost to the Soviets. Despite these drawbacks, the Ferdinands were much feared among the Soviet tankers, as the Ferdinand produced horrific losses among the Soviet armour corps. During the Battle of Kursk, the 653rd Heavy Tank Battalion claimed to have knocked out 320 enemy tanks, with the loss of 13 Ferdinands.

After Kursk, all surviving Ferdinands were recalled in September 1943 to be modified, which fixed most of the previous flaws. 48 of the 50 survivors were modified with a hull-mounted machine gun, a commander's cupola, and anti-magnetic ''Zimmerit'' paste to counter Soviet magnetic mines. The armour and track width of the vehicle was also enlarged and brought Ferdinand's 65 tons weight up to 70 tons. These modified vehicles are designated the '''Elefant'''. One of the Ferdinands unable to be converted to an Elefant due to battle damages began to be converted into a ''Rammpanzer Tiger'' or ''Rammtiger'' which was to be a breakthrough vehicle, though there is no evidence that it was completed or saw service. The Elefants then served in the Italian front against the Western Allies, but its heavyweight impeded its mobility on the rough terrain and the use of bridges and roads. After Italy, the Elefants didn't see much use due to the low quantity. One company of Elefants saw action during the Soviet's January 1945 Vistula-Oder offensive in Poland, and the last few surviving vehicles were in combat at Zossen during the Battle of Berlin. The Ferdinand may have been the most successful tank destroyer employed during the entire war in terms of claimed kills per loss, reaching an average ratio of approximately 10:1. This ratio could be given thanks to the armour and firepower of the tank destroyer, but in terms of operational capabilities the poor mobility, mechanical unreliability, and low quantity of these vehicles meant it had little impact in the overall strategic effect in the war.

===Survivors===
Today, two of these tank destroyers are left in intact conditions today. One Ferdinand was captured by the Soviets at Kursk and is now in display at the Kubinka Tank Museum. Another one, an Elefant, was captured by the Americans at Anzio, Italy. It was displayed at the US Army Ordinance Museum at Fort Lee, Virginia for many years and was restored to display condition in 2007. Currently, it is being loaned to the Bovington Tank Museum and is in the new exhibit "Tiger Collection".<ref name="FerdinandTankMuseum">The Tank Museum. "THE TIGER COLLECTION – THE TANKS, THE TERROR & THE TRUTH." Tank Museum. N.p., 02 Nov. 2016. Web. 04 Nov. 2016. [http://tankmuseum.org/year-news/bovnews53673 Website].</ref>

=== In-game description ===
The Ferdinand self-propelled artillery gun was developed in 1942 to 1943 from the experimental VK 4501 (P) tank, which was developed by Porsche but never entered military service. In 1943, the company Alkett built 90 of these guns.
The gun's layout was quite unusual, with the crew compartment placed at the rear of the spacious cabin. The driver and radio operator were located in the front part of the cabin, and a direct connection between this compartment and the crew compartment was impossible due to heat-resistant metal partitions installed between the two compartments, where the engine and other equipment were located.

The Ferdinand was equipped with an 88 mm rifled 8,8 cm Stuk 43 gun with a long 71 caliber barrel. This gun was specially adapted to be mounted on the PaK 43 self-propelled anti-tank gun. The gun had excellent ballistics and at the time of its release was the strongest weapon available for tanks and self-propelled guns. Even until the end of the war, it could easily hit all types of armored vehicles. The vehicle's frontal armor had a thickness of 200 mm. Its total weight was 68 tons.

The self-propelled gun saw its first combat operation at the Kursk Bulge, as a part of the 653rd and 654th tank destroyer divisions. From July to November 1943, these divisions destroyed 582 Soviet tanks, losing 43 of their own vehicles in the process.

Serious shortcomings of this tank destroyed included its lack of machine guns for defense against infantry attacks, low speed and maneuverability, and low maximum range.
However, the German military valued the controllability and survivability of the vehicle's engine and transmission. A suspension with longitudinal torsion bars was much easier to maintain and repair when compared to a staggered torsion bar suspension, but it was very difficult to manufacture and less reliable in the field.

=Game changes=
==General Changes==
* New air and ground vehicles
* Possibility to view detailed armouring model and inner modules locations for the ground forces in hangar
* New arcade tank battle mode
** The destruction of enemy vehicles now adds an opportunity to activate a special “aerial battle”, where players can participate in the form of temporary flyouts using an attacker or bomber.
** The activation of an aerial battle grants other players the possibility of using a fighter to destroy or protect the initiator of the battle. Players who are in the squad with the initiator will receive a head-start on selecting the fighter
** Aircraft used in aerial battles are not aircraft that players have necessarily unlocked - they are specifically set for the mission. Those aircraft require no repair or leveling and progress on them will go towards tank progress.
** Artillery support mechanics have been re-worked. Now they can be stored to a maximum of three strikes and will also require enemy vehicle destruction to be activated.
** More details in the DevBlog
* New Realistic Battle mode:
** Destroying enemy vehicles, dealing damage and capturing zones will give you earned points which you may spend for further respawns in any vehicles set in your line-up before the battle.
** After starting the session, each player in the team will receive an initial 400 Points which he spends to get the first vehicle to participate in the battle;
** Matchmaking is calculated according to the vehicle that has maximum BR in the line-up;
** If the player fails to earn enough points for respawn before his vehicle is destroyed, he withdraws from the battle;
** A team wins once it accomplishes the mission’s task or destroys all enemy vehicles - the same as for standard War Thunder missions.
** The given numbers are calculated if the vehicle you wish to respawn in has highest BR in the battle. If there are vehicles with higher BR than the vehicle you want to respawn in, you will need to spend less points.
** With BR difference of 1.0 and more in your line-up maximum step-down ratio is 0.75
* Air Race mode has been added:
** You can compete against other players in track completion speed and gain rewards for victories in the Events (but it will be available in both Custom Battles and in the Events)
** New location was created for that mode where race will commence - “Tropical Island”.
** Repairs will be much lower in that mode than in any other mode
* New locations and maps
* New hangar design
* New environment and weapons sounds
* Vehicle presets
* New achievements and rewards
* The automatic punishment system for unsportsmanlike behaviour will now take into account rams and friendly fire hits.
* Kill credit system now has different timers to count hit damage for different game modes (time doubled for RB and SB)
* Fixed error in the kill credit for bombers (killed co-pilot was counted as a critical hit and would award a kill after the aircraft would be destroyed later)
* Fixed an error when kill credit would not be assigned if target would crash too fast.
* Hangar has been significantly visually reworked
* Visibility calculations were changed for aircraft RB battles. Now even marked enemy will be shown only at limited distance (6km)
* All tank modes have been changed - multi-spawns on one crew slot which depended on vehicle type now removed for all vehicles, except reserves (repairs on all tanks that had multi-spawn available have been significantly reduced)
* Lead indicator for aircraft on tanks has been removed in RB. Now only anti-air vehicles have indicator for aircraft.
* Automatic gear shift on the tanks now works with “Mouse Aim”, “Simplified” and “Realistic” controls. Manual gears available on “Full Real” controls.
* Now you can buy partially researched modules with proportionally partial price in golden eagles
* Minor changes in research points introduced and also purchase prices and training for crews to make player progress smoother in vehicle research
* Сolour correction effects setup variations have been changed (“Autumn colours”, “Film”, “Grayscale”, “Sepia”)
* Pilots will no longer be displayed with “Low Quality” textures selected.
* Visibility through the cockpit glass has been slightly improved
* Reflection of the chrome surfaces on PS4 were fixed
* Performance on all ground forces locations has been improved for DirecX11
* Automatic squad feature has been enabled:
** All players that weren’t squaded before the battle will be automatically divided into auto-squads
** If player selects re-spawn in random spawn point, he will be spawned at the point that is closer to players from his squad (this works for normal squads as well)
** Players from auto-squads will have the ability to gain additional awards for squads, just like players in usual squads
** Auto-squads will look different from normal squads in the player list
** Players can disable the automatic squad feature in the game options

==Interface==
* Replay view interface has been significantly changed and improved (PC/Mac)
* Tutorial and Events buttons have been visually changed.
* Added vehicle presets for crews. It will allow to quickly swap the vehicles for all crews
* Spectator view screen has been significantly reworked (available in custom battles)
* Added camera for ground forces that displays in detail how player vehicle got destroyed
* Armour view mode has been added:
** Possibility to view detailed armouring model and inner modules locations for the ground forces in hangar
** Added possibility to view inner modules of the tank in battle (default keybind - i). Different colours show different conditions - intact, damaged or destroyed modules and crew
* New icons for shells (more details in our devblog):
** Shell icons now contain information about piercing and casualty-producing properties of the shells
** A more detailed description of tank shells
* Added range input control for tank aiming sights (required key assignment for range input control)

==Locations and missions==
* Many minor fixes based on bugreports of players
* Mission for aerobatic teams, where both teams start from the same spawn point, with the possibility to start from parking area at the airfield, or near aerobatic cube. Aerobatic route near factory exists for aircraft with good maneuverability as well as a “straight” one with passage under the bridge and turn.
* New locations have been added:
** Mozdok
*** Three modes have been added: “Domination”, “Сonquest”, “Battle”
** Poland
*** Three modes have been added: “Domination”, “Сonquest”, “Battle”

=Game Changes=
==Game play==

* A New player’s progression system, see details in [https://warthunder.com/en/news/372--en Developers’ Diaries]
* Any researched but un-purchased aircraft from 1.35 can be purchased without researching and upgrading previous planes in a line.
* “Custom battles” are now hosted on dedicated servers.
* “Custom Battles” can now have up to 32 players in one battle.

== Usage in the battles ==

[[File:Cockpit_La-7.jpg|thumbnail|right|The La-7's instrument panel.]]
The key to staying alive in the La-7 series lies in using evasion and deception to destroy the enemy. Start by flying at around 4.5 km altitude as you present yourself as an easy target for Boom & Zoom aircraft that are flying at higher altitudes. Maintain a high energy level/speed (conceal your energy as well). When you spot someone diving at you, break off and evade his burst, and then chase him and return your own bursts, or, if he turns, engage in turning combat. Watch your opponent, however. Spitfire (Griffons) can, for the most part, out turn an La-7 while other planes such as the FW-190 D are far inferior at turning. It is possible to force overshoots on Spitfires by going into scissors. Acceleration on this plane is excellent at low-medium altitude (below 3 km where WEP still work). Additionally, the La-7 can be an effective mid-alt Boom and Zoom/ energy fighter- when most opponents have been destroyed and the rest are engaging below you, the La-7, with its effective climb rate as well as acceleration/energy retention, can be unstoppable.

One habit you have to take to heart is aiming strategies/skill. The 2 cowling-mounted ShVAks are quite ineffective in side on approaches as well as longer range fire due to the fact that there is little spread to the cannons and low damage and hit detection compared to comparable 20 mm cannons such as the Hispano and MG-151. The low spread allows for greater damage upon hitting your opponent- if used correctly, the cannons can be extremely lethal. Ground Targets belts have the most HE shells in their composition; these are the most versatile as they are extremely effective against planes as well as Ground targets.

Another habit worth developing in the La-7 is ammo conservation, it is crucial to only take shots that you know will hit and aiming them carefully. This way you stand a bigger chance of critically damaging the enemy airplane. By following those rules you will soon find yourself researching the final Lavochkin piston fighter - the [[La-9]].

The aircraft are placed quite low in the [[BR|Battle Rating]] spread, which means that you will still engage [[:Category:Third_rank_aircraft|Era III aircraft]]. Do not underestimate them. If flown up to their respective strengths, Planes as the Bf 109 G-2 and Spitfire MK.Vc are superior to the La-7 The strengths of both La-7 variants lie in very good low altitude performance - ideally, you want to engage your enemies at altitudes lower than 5 km - higher up, the power output of the engine reduces drastically, making you an easy target. Aside from the speed, the La-7 possesses very good turning capabilities - while it is not as good a turner as some British and Japanese designs, it can give many German and US aircraft a run for their money.

Four upgrades are of importance: ''Offensive 20 mm'', ''Compressor'', ''Engine'' and ''Engine injection''.

=== Pros and cons ===


'''Pros:'''
* Excellent low altitude performance (< 3,000 m/9,843 ft).
* Decent maneuverability.
* Great acceleration and rate of climb.
* Good roll rate.
* Center-mounted cannons- can be a blessing or a curse, depending on your aiming ability.
* Decent cockpit visibility.
* Good speed in level flight.
* Pilot armor options.
* Bomb options.
* has less of a stock syndrome than most other tier IV aircraft.

'''Cons:'''
* Poor performance at high altitude (> 4,000 m/13,124 ft).
* Poor maximum dive speed.
* Fast-firing cannons means you have to be more diligent with ammo conservation.
* Tends to bleed energy.
* Center-mounted cannons can be difficult to master.
* Poor stock belts.
* Relatively poor durability- wings tend to rip at higher speeds compared to contemporaries.
* Jack-of-all trades fighter- no specialized job means that the La-7 isn't dedicated to tasks like Boom and Zoom.

== History ==

The concept of a new fighter for the Soviet Air Force was pitched in 1943. While the earlier Lavochkin La-5 proved to be one of the best Soviet fighters produced up to that point, the main designer of the [[La-5FN|La-5]], Semyon Lavochkin, felt that it could be improved even further. Work on a completely new fighter began in the early months of 1944. The new fighter was supposed to be an improved version of the La-5 design. The changes included the incorporation of a lighter and more durable metal air frame in place of the earlier wooden one. Other changes included the mounting of a new gun sight and propeller, as well as the strengthening of the landing gear struts and streamlining of the wings. It was to be armed with three Berezin B-20 20 mm cannons, however the delay in production meant that most new La-7s were armed with 2 x 20 mm ShVAK cannons, like its predecessor. After more tests, the new fighter was accepted into serial production in late 1944.

In September 1944, the first La-7s found their way onto the front lines with the 63rd Guard Fighter Aviation Corps. The reception of the new fighter was warm - it was faster and more maneuverable than the La-5, which meant it could more efficiently tackle the most common German fighter the Soviets faced: the Messerschmitt [[Bf 109 G-6|Bf 109 G]]. In certain circumstances, the speed allowed the Soviet pilots to intercept [[Fw 190 F-8|Fw 190 fighter-bombers]] - a feat impossible to achieve for other Soviet fighters like the [[Yak-3]]. The main critiques of the design were considered to be the engine reliability and armament - the twin 20 mm ShVAK cannons were judged as inadequate in fights against better armoured Fw 190s. Still, the La-7 became one of the most successful Soviet piston fighters of World War II. Soviet ace Ivan Kozhedub scored 17 kills while flying the La-7 - his last one being an [[Me 262 A-1a|Me 262]] jet. After the war the La-7 was replaced by the La-9 prop fighter, although many were still used by other communist states as both fighters and trainer aircraft.
