War Thunder Update 2.57.1.135 delivers two focused fixes, correcting automatic gun lead calculations in Arcade Naval Battles and preventing Ray Tracing settings from resetting when players apply changes. Gaijin Entertainment detailed the changes in its Steam announcement.

The naval fix follows the broader rules pass from the earlier Naval Enduring Confrontation update, but this patch keeps its attention on aiming accuracy in Arcade Battles. The graphics correction should also make custom Ray Tracing adjustments stick instead of being overwritten by the active graphics preset.

War Thunder Update 2.57.1.135 Patch Notes

The published notes cover one Naval Battles fix and one graphics fix. Together, they address a combat aiming problem and an annoying settings reset that could undo manual Ray Tracing changes.

Naval Vessels

War Thunder is a free-to-play vehicular combat MMO featuring aircraft, ground vehicles, and naval craft spanning from the early 20th century to the modern era. Players progress through technology trees across multiple nations, unlocking increasingly advanced military vehicles. The game offers three realism tiers for each vehicle type: arcade, realistic, and simulator modes. Originally developed as a flight simulator under the name "World of Planes," the game expanded to include tanks in 2014 and naval forces later, becoming a combined-arms experience. A mobile version was released in 2023.
