Nuclear Escalation

  • ☢Jaguar A — countermeasures have been added.

  • New nuclear weaponry carrying aircraft are now available in battles: ☢Su-17M4 (USSR), ☢Su-17M4 (China). They have replaced the ☢Su-7 in both Battle Rating brackets. In the near future we plan to add the ☢Jaguar A without countermeasures to the lower Battle Rating bracket, and then the ☢Su-7 for the USSR and China will be returned to this bracket.

  • Bugs that sometimes caused long-range SAMs to launch a salvo of missiles to the same target and to switch to targets with less priority has been fixed.


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.
