Can't launch War Thunder through Steam

I am trying to play War Thunder through Steam on my ubuntu 14.04, but I can't launch it through Steam. When directly launching by clicking the 'launcher' file in the local folders works just fine. Any solutions for this? I signed into Steam while playing this awesome game. Thanks in advance.
