Today, weve rounded up and will be going over some of the bug fixes and improvements that weve made to the game today and over the past few weeks. If youd like to catch up on every fixed bug, then be sure to check out the changelog section on our website. Feel free to leave your feedback on this update here If youve found a bug that youd like to report, you can do so on our community bug reporting platform.

Issues after the major

The release of the major update unfortunately came with some unforeseen and complicated problems, with the team working effectively around the clock to get them resolved as soon as possible. We always try to identify as many issues during internal testing and the dev server with the help of the community, but as War Thunder is a very technical and complex game with lots of interconnecting parts, it isnt always possible to catch everything.
Were starting this edition of Its Fixed with key issues that we corrected after the launch of the major update. For aircraft, certain planes sometimes would be unable to move on runways, damage from air-to-air missiles and SAMs, as well as HE shells fired at aircraft were calculated incorrectly, and missiles could lose their target for no apparent reason. On the ground, allied and enemy vehicles sometimes moved jerkily, and some maps had collision issues. All these bugs have already been fixed, and we want to elaborate on one of them in more detail and explain a little bit what happened. One of the main problems that many players faced at top ranks, unstable damage with missiles, is a manifestation of a bug related to the incorrect position of explosions when calculating hits on aircraft. This extrapolation error has occurred only in online battles and not consistently, so despite the fact that the erroneous code appeared on the open dev server and stayed there for about a week, we were unable to detect the bug due to its unstable reproduction. And although the first significant fix in the damage model, which was able to compensate for many manifestations of this bug, was uploaded to the main server after 24 hours, we were able to find the root of the problem and fix it only after 6 days. We apologize for any inconvenience experienced in the parts of the game that were affected, and thank you for your understanding.

Pinned weapons selector

Now onto new additions. Weve introduced the ability to pin the weapons selector in air battles. This gives players the ability to interact with the selector directly, similar to the action panel elements. The aircraft can still be controlled by mouse movements, and by holding down the corresponding key (on PC, this key is Alt), you display the cursor. With the cursor you can press on the missiles, bombs or countermeasures that you want. This is more convenient and faster than constantly turning the selector on and off and shows the remaining countermeasure amount clearly. In the future, we plan to add an indication of which hardpoint the next launch or drop will be from. This menu expands and collapses with one click, so be sure to try it!

Radar Control Screen Target Filter

The Leviathans major update introduced a new Radar Control Screen interface for anti-aircraft vehicles. In todays update, weve added the ability to set a filter in the target list. You can now see all air targets, or only enemies, or only allies. This makes things more convenient when the sky is teeming with contacts! We plan to add a few more filter options by target type soon.

TV Seeker Improvements

A couple of pleasant changes were made to missiles with a TV homing head. The picture when viewed from these types of missiles now has more contrast. It is similar to how missiles see their targets in reality, and allows players to distinguish targets more clearly. When capturing a target in third-person view, the icon now differs depending on the captured target (in this case a crosshair is displayed in the square), or if its just a point on the ground (in this case the icon looks like an empty square).

Thats not all

Check out the full list of fixes and improvements in the update notes below! Heres some snippets to pique your interest: Multi-Vehicle SAM System launchers now correctly spawn into arches and tunnels, the destruction of launchers no longer reduces the counter of remaining respawns, and battleship hulls no longer receive excessive damage from high-explosive shells.

• A-10C the ability to simultaneously use a targeting pod and the AGM-65D missiles on TER launchers with 3 missiles has been added. (Report).
• Hunter FGA.9 the position of the drop-tanks has been corrected so that the drop-tanks and air-to-air missiles can be used together.
• A bug that made it possible to destroy the nuclear bomb and therefore make it explode before it hit the ground has been fixed.

• D4Y1 a bug that caused the bomb bay doors to not disappear when 500 kg Navy Type Number 50 Model 2 bomb was installed has been fixed. (Report).
• AJS37, AJ37 a radar page on the MFD has been added. (Report).
• Kfir Canard a bug where the RWR was not displayed in the cockpit has been fixed.
• Mirage IIIS C.70 (Germany) a bug that made it impossible to jettison the drop-tanks if a booster or conformal fuel tank was installed has been fixed. (Report).
• Rafale C F3 steady-state turn rate has been reduced by ~1/s with remaining fuel weight of ~1300 kg. (Report).
• MiG-23MLD the intermediate position of the wing sweep in the automatic sweep control mode has been changed to 33 degrees at medium speeds. Source: - -23. .
• MiG-17PF (Italy), Lim-5P engine name has been corrected to VK-1F. Source: -17 -1. . 1. , 1954.
• MiG-17PF (Italy), Shenyang F-5, Lim-5P engine mass in X-ray has been increased from 892 kg to 990 kg. Source: -1. .

Ground Vehicles

• MSC the increased durability of the side screens has been reduced. A bug where the armor element near the sight did not form fragments when penetrated has been fixed.
• SPYDER AIO Python 5 rocket engine has been replaced with a reduced smoke motor. (Report).
• CS/SA5, IRIS-T SLM, SPYDER AIO, EldE 98 mistakenly present recoil from missile launches has been removed.

Locations and Missions

• In variants of the missions below where the Battle Rating of the session is 10.7+, an air spawn point has been added:
  • [Operation] Spain
  • [Operation] Vietnam
  • [Operation] Moscow
  • [Operation] Sinai
• Test Site-2271 enemy detection zones around spawn points have been increased to make it harder for enemies to remain undetected while behind a spawn point.

Interface

• In 3rd person view, the target acquisition mark for AGM seekers now differs depending on whether the seeker has acquired a point on the ground or a target. Target acquisition is still displayed as a square with a crosshair, and acquisition of a point on the ground is displayed as a square without a crosshair.
• A bug where the service record search bar did not work if the query contained capital letters has been fixed. (Report).
• When using a gamepad, the cursor will now return to the selected game mode after closing the server selection window.

Graphics

• The picture in the form of a TV missile seeker has been made more contrasting, which makes it more realistic, and the details in it more distinguishable.
• A bug where enemy aircraft contacts became more transparent and disappeared at shorter distances than before the 2.47 Leviathans update has been fixed. (Report).

[hr][/hr] Patch notes reflect only key changes, meaning they may not include a complete list of all improvements made. Additionally, War Thunder is constantly being updated and some changes may not require an update. Changes reflected in patch notes are formed by taking reactions and requests of the community from the bug reporting service, forums and other official platforms into account. Bug fixes and changes are implemented in order of importance, for example a game-breaking bug will be worked on and implemented sooner.
