War Thunder background
Update 2.41.0.55

Aircraft

  • A bug that caused aircraft to jump and crash when landing on new airfields without landing gear has been fixed. (Report).
  • Tornado GR.4 — display of AIM-9 indication in the HUD has been fixed. (Report).
  • F-15E, F-15I Ra’am:
    • The restriction on using AIM-7 missiles in conjunction with drop tanks has been removed. (Report).
    • The failure of target acquisition by the targeting pod when descending at steep angles has been fixed.
    • The inability to use AIM-7/AIM-120 on conformal fuel tanks with installed targeting pod has been fixed. (Report).
    • The display of AIM-7 missiles in the secondary weapons menu has been fixed. (Report).
    • The ability to use the GBU-38 on the center fuselage pylon has been added. Preset weapons with the GBU-38 have been changed.
  • Su-34 — the launch sequence of the Kh-38 missiles has been fixed.
  • F-104G (China) — the PS-03 radar has been replaced by NASSAR. (Report).
  • A bug in “Assault. Air Arcade” mode that caused AI aircraft to spawn inside each other, causing their collision and destruction has been fixed. (Report).

Interface

  • A bug where a Squadron’s main page did not display all of the selected squadron vehicle rewards has been fixed.
  • A bug where players who left a squadron could still have a squadron tag has been fixed.
  • A bug that caused prompts about leaving the vehicle and about the start of an air event to not show in VR mode has been fixed.
  • A bug where there was no hint about leaving the battle zone in Simulator Battles has been fixed. (Report).
  • A bug where changing the nickname display setting (“Display real nick in battle and menu”) in the hangar did not immediately update the player’s nickname in the playercard has been fixed.
  • A bug where Air Simulator Battle rooms had the letters “res” in their names has been fixed.
  • A bug where in the player profile window, opening the “Service Record” tab without opening the “Statistics” tab resets the selected mode has been fixed.
  • Indentations in the names of sub-chapters in the Achievements tab of a player profile have been made bigger, so it is easier to distinguish them from the names of the chapters.
  • A bug where the “Favorite Mode” stat blocks were different widths in the Player Card window has been fixed.
  • Order separators have been added to the Player Card window for the “Favorite Mode” stats.
  • The number of complaints filed by one player in a single battle against the same player is now limited. This is done to limit spamming of complaints from one player to another. During a single battle a player can still file complaints on multiple players and multiple players can still file complaints on the same player.

Sound

  • ADEN/DEFA and T160 aircraft cannons have received sounds more typical of this cannon caliber.
  • Enemy/ally gun sounds are now better heard through a closed aircraft canopy at low frequencies if the gunfire is close to the listener’s aircraft.
