Update 2.49.0.50

Aircraft
- F/A-18C Late (Germany) — a bug that made it impossible to guide APKWS II M282 and APKWS II M151 missiles has been fixed. (Report).
- Su-27SM — the position of the MFD page with the artificial horizon in the cockpit has been fixed. (Report).
- Su-17 (all variants), Su-22 (all variants) — polyurethane foam fuel tank filler has been added to wing fuel tanks. This reduces the likelihood of a fire or explosion when hit.
- F/A-18C Early, F/A-18C (Germany), F/A-18C Late (Germany), CF-188 — icons for the GBU-12 have been changed. (Report).
Ground Vehicles
- A bug where some destructible modules, for example fuel tanks and spall liners would continue to affect secondary fragments and HE damage after being destroyed has been fixed. Said modules only include those that disappear after being destroyed. Permanent modules such as the cannon breech or engine still interact with shells and secondary fragments when destroyed as normal.
- BM Oplot-T — the thickness of the turret roof has been increased from 25 mm to 45 mm.
- BM Oplot-T — a bug that caused the specific area on the turret roof to have no armor has been fixed. (Report).
Interface
- A bug that could cause the interface in Naval Battles to stop displaying normally has been fixed.
- A bug where it was impossible to view the list of rewards for some achievements has been fixed.
- A bug where the vehicle rank requirements could be cut off in the Semper Fidelis marks of distinction on-hover popups has been fixed.
- A bug that caused the corresponding Pages of History achievement to not properly open when clicking on a vehicle’s available task marker has been fixed.
- A bug that caused the marker of the next weapon to be used in the Visual weapon selector to display incorrectly for asymmetrically mounted weapons that could not be dropped separately has been fixed.
Graphics
- A bug where countermeasures hitting the ground would leave a very large crater has been fixed. (Report).
- A bug in cockpit view that made everything appear darker when SSAA and TSR were enabled has been fixed. (Report).
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.
