War Thunder just got a fresh patch, 2.47.0.106, squashing some annoying bugs that were messing with gameplay. If you’ve been scratching your head over why specific battles weren’t counting right or crashing mid-flight, this update might clear that up.
Ground Vehicles
- Lineups 1_1 to 6_1 in Ground Simulator Battles now require a suitable tank in crew slots to play. This fix addresses a weird bug where the mode wasn’t recognized as a tank battle, so aircraft Battle Ratings were taken from Air Simulator instead of Ground Simulator Battles. That felt off, right? (Report)
Locations and Missions
- Fixed a bug where wind turbines on some maps could be destroyed. Yikes, those turbines weren’t meant to be breakable, so now they stand firm.
Other
- Fixed a crash that happened when switching to cockpit view in an air streak aircraft during Ground Arcade Battles. Nothing ruins a fight faster than a sudden crash, so this should smooth things out.
Patch notes cover only the key fixes, so there might be other tweaks behind the scenes. War Thunder updates often take community feedback seriously, pulling from bug reports and forums to prioritize what needs fixing first. Game-breaking bugs get the fastest attention, which is great because nobody wants to deal with those mid-battle.
