Trams and Wagon Physics Fixed
There was a bug that caused the physical properties of trams and wagons to be out of this world! Instead of moving around on the ground as normal when they were collided with or towed, they began to bounce and fly up and down, almost like a ball in our Tank Football mode. It looked quite funny but this obviously has no place in regular battles. Rejoice, it has now been fixed.
The Force... Wasn’t With You
Another bug caused something very strange to happen. When a helicopter was destroyed or even when an already downed helicopter was shot at and hit, the thermal imager or night vision device of the player who took the shot and got the destruction or hit would turn off. This was super annoying and strange to say the least, and has now been fixed.
Hydroplane Causing Sight Issues
There was a much more serious bug that affected naval vehicles. After launching a hydroplane, ships lost the ability to zoom in at enemies. The zoom would turn on for a split second, and then the camera would jerk to the furthest position, making it more difficult to aim than usual. Thanks to your quick report on this issue, we managed to fix it.
Vegetation Detailing Fixes
It’s known that for optimization purposes, distant objects in games are displayed in less detail, and when approaching them, they’re replaced by full-fledged models. However, we noticed that low-detail vegetation objects begin to appear at much closer distances than they should have. We’ve fixed this now.
That’s not all
Check out the full list of fixes and improvements in the update notes below! Here’s some snippets to pique your interest: the notification about a connected controller is no longer displayed each time you enter the game, an airship icon no longer appears on the bomber action panel, and the RI-65 voice warning system has been added to the Su-25T, Su-39, Su-25BM and the MiG-23 and MiG-27 family of aircraft.

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.
