War Thunder Update 2.59.0.49 Adds Separate Bomb Drops for the Tempest Mk II and Tempest Mk V
The patch also fixes wheel-loss shaking, naval camera and ship-roll problems, bombing-marker drift, and disappearing buildings.
War Thunder Update 2.59.0.49 adds separate bomb drops for the Tempest Mk II and Tempest Mk V. Gaijin’s Update 2.59.0.49 patch notes on Steam also cover vehicle physics, naval behavior, carrier movement on air maps, and bombing markers.
Wheeled vehicles will no longer shake after losing all wheels on one side. Naval fixes address camera alignment when entering ADS and ships rolling toward the catapult side after a scout plane launches. Aircraft carriers now travel from the map edge toward the center on air-combat maps where they appear, while bombing target markers no longer shift in cockpit or targeting-pod views. A separate fix keeps some Southeastern City buildings from disappearing at a distance.
