Aircraft
A bug that caused air-to-air missile explosions in fuel tanks to not lead to the wings tearing off has been fixed.
F/A-18 (all variants) — a bug that caused the CCRP indication (azimuth steering line to the current POI) to sometimes not display on the HUD in the cockpit has been fixed. (Report).
Ground Vehicles
The reload times of T-64, T-72, T-80, T-90, 2S25, ZTZ96, ZTZ99 and VT4 series tanks have been reduced. The full list of changes, as well as more details can be found in this topic.
IRIS-T SLM — the activation range for the missile's onboard seeker has been reverted from 4 km back to 10 km. This is intended to increase the missile's probability of hitting if the ground radar loses its track on the target.
BMPT, BMPT-72 — the erroneously missing aluminum protective cover around the ammo of the 30 mm cannon has been added.
Interface
A bug that caused the hit marker above the ground vehicle in Ground Realistic Battles to display on close shell flybys and not only on direct hits has been fixed.
Customization and Achievements
Su-30MKK (China), J-10C — a bug that caused the names of some camouflages to display as text keys has been fixed.
Other
The calculation rules for the Spawn Point cost of aircraft Secondary Armament presets that contain guided bombs have been adjusted. Now the cost of these weapons depends not only on the mass of the used bombs, but on their guidance type as well. Bombs with the combined GNSS + Laser guidance, as well as the bombs with the TV guidance have an additional multiplier of 1.1. Bombs with the IR seekers have an additional multiplier of 1.3. For example, the MiG-27K has a base cost of the aircraft of 540 SP. Equipped with 4x KAB-500Kr with a total mass of 2080 kg it will now require 540 * 1.4 (multiplier for more than 2000kg of bombs) * 1.1 (multiplier for the TV seeker of the guided bombs) = 832 SP to spawn in. Typhoon (AESA) has a base cost of the aircraft of 540 SP. Equipped with 8x SPICE 250 with a total mass of 1040 kg it will now require 540 * 1.272 (multiplier for the 1040 kg of guided bombs) * 1.3 (multiplier for the IR seeker of the guided bombs) = 893 SP. If the aircraft has guided bombs with different seeker types equipped, the highest of the guidance type multipliers will be used for the total mass of the guided bombs. A restart of the game client may be required for the correct Spawn Point price of the aircraft to be displayed.
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.
