War Thunder update 2.57.1.7 fixes tank mesh issues, aircraft instruments, and map collisions
The Steam-listed hotfix also adds a Crew view to the ship hangar's X-ray filter.
War Thunder update 2.57.1.7 landed as another small cleanup pass, with fixes aimed at ground vehicles, aircraft, map collisions, and the ship hangar’s X-ray filter.
It follows the recent cleanup work in update 2.57.0.17, which also spent its time on bug fixes across air, land, and sea. This round keeps the same rhythm, just with a narrower list of corrections.
On the vehicle side, the patch addresses the AEC Mk II’s damaged-wheel behavior, the TUSK mesh on the M1A2 SEPv3 and M1A2, and a few visual quirks on the Leopard 1A5BE and Hummel. Aircraft and locations also get attention, with fixes for smoke placement, cockpit gauges, and several collision problems across the map pool.
