Aircraft

  • Mk.M2 540 lb — bomb mass has been corrected from 213 kg to 255 kg; visual model replaced with a more accurate one. Source: AP101B-3101 & 2-15C Jaguar GR.1A & T.2A Aircrew Manual - Navigation / Attack and Armament Systems.

  • H.E. M.C. 540 lb — explosive mass has been adjusted from 97 kg to 94 kg. Source: AP101B-3101 & 2-15C Jaguar GR.1A & T.2A Aircrew Manual - Navigation / Attack and Armament Systems.

  • F-86E(M) (Israel) — the missing AIM-9B modification for the corresponding missiles has been added. A bug that caused the 1000 lb bombs and AIM-9B missiles to require the wrong modifications for their use has been fixed.

  • P-47D-27 (USSR), P-47D (Germany) — an issue where the armored glass was missing has been fixed. (Report).

Ground Vehicles

  • Object 416 — the mistakenly present artillery support modification has been removed. (Report). Silver Lions and Golden Eagles spent on purchasing the removed modifications will be compensated.

Nuclear Escalation

  • An issue where convoy vehicles would not resume movement after carrying out running gear repairs has been fixed.

  • An issue where a vehicle with a knocked out driver would not continue moving after the crew was swapped has been fixed.

  • An issue where oncoming convoys would block each other on roads has been fixed.

  • Supply columns now transport 50% more cargo, and their factories produce supplies 25% faster. Depots in tactical assembly areas now hold 50% more cargo, ensuring that armored vehicle depots better sustain the pace of forming tank and self-propelled gun columns, even when supply columns are lost.

  • An issue where tanks stationed in a stronghold’s garrison were counted as active convoys, blocking the dispatch of new convoys from armored vehicle depots has been fixed.

Sound

  • PGZ88 — the excessively high volume of the cannons has been reduced.

Other

  • An issue where a player was awarded mission points for death when destroyed by an AI-controlled aircraft has been fixed. Those points are only intended to be awarded to a player when they are destroyed by another player or a named bot (a player substitute).


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.
