=Game Changes=
==New Login, Hangar, and Loading windows==
* Players may see new interface elements right as the game starts - starting with a new login window with an animated background.
The main window of the hangar was also changed as well, as was the “To Battle!” button. Now you enter the fight with just one click on the “To Battle!” button. If you need some parameters to be changed, just hover your cursor over it.
* Also you may now choose an aircraft for HB/FRB before entering the battle.

==Damage Model==
* War Thunder’s damage model (DM) was significantly improved in Update 1.29. We’ve added circa 10 new parts and specified and tuned all existing parts for all planes. Along with introducing the correct ammo types for all types of weapons, these changes make the air fight fiercer and much more interesting. And more historical, of course.
*Damage from bombs, rockets and torpedoes was also tuned according to the performance of their real counterparts.

==Ammo belts options==
* Update 1.29 brings a new feature; customizing fighters’ ammo belts. Separately, for cannons and machine guns, you may now choose from several types of ammunition: universal, for air targets, for ground targets, and for stealth attacks (without tracers).
