- A bug where the sunrise or sunset time would cause the sun to appear below the horizon, visually turning the time of day into night has been fixed. Please note that some cloudy weather may also appear as night, but the sun will be above the horizon. This update does not fix this specific issue.

- A new ground vehicle training mission that allows you to familiarize yourself with weapons and equipment has been added. This mission can be started through the Battles > Tutorial menu from the hangar:
- SAM with multi-channel optical homing head
Naval Vessels
- A bunch of new gameplay and control tips suggested by players have been added to the loading screen.
- Pr. 206, Pr. 206 (Germany), Pr. 206-M — a bug that blocked torpedo firing when the bridge was destroyed has been fixed.
- A bug where there were no waves and the water surface was mirror-like and looked like it was calm in any weather has been fixed.
Sound
- CV9030FIN, CV9035DK, CV9035NL — the engine sounds have been adjusted and reworked in accordance with feedback. Previously, the sound was considered unrealistic, too harsh and lacking the diesel engine howl.
- For all helicopters when viewed from the cockpit with the doors open, the sound of the external rotors is now independent of their engine volume settings. Their volume is set to an acceptable average level and is designed to mask external sounds. This is done in order to eliminate open cockpit doors as a way of orientation by hearing.
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.
