Gaijin Entertainment has officially released update 2.59.0.75 for War Thunder, a technical patch aimed at refining vehicle performance and addressing platform-specific visual bugs. The update is now live across all supported platforms, including PC, PlayStation 5, PlayStation 5 Pro, and Xbox. This release focuses on targeted adjustments to ground vehicle defensive parameters and corrects specific graphical anomalies that have impacted players on newer console hardware.
Armor and Weaponry Adjustments
The primary focus of this update involves the BT-7 and BT-7M ground vehicles. Developers have increased the armor thickness for both the radiator and the air duct components to 10 mm. These changes are intended to provide a slight boost to the survivability of these light tanks during standard combat engagements. Additionally, the update addresses a technical issue regarding the rocket sight alignment for the Bf 109 G-6 aircraft. Pilots who rely on these specific weapon systems should find that the targeting reticle now aligns correctly, allowing for more consistent accuracy during aerial maneuvers.
| Component | Adjustment |
|---|---|
| BT-7 Radiator Armor | Increased to 10 mm |
| BT-7M Radiator Armor | Increased to 10 mm |
| BT-7 Air Duct Armor | Increased to 10 mm |
| BT-7M Air Duct Armor | Increased to 10 mm |
| Bf 109 G-6 Rocket Sight | Alignment Fixed |
Technical Fixes and Platform Stability
Beyond the vehicle-specific changes, the development team has implemented a fix for a persistent visual issue affecting users on the PlayStation 5 Pro. Players on this platform had reported instances of shadow flickering, which could be distracting during intense gameplay sessions. This patch resolves that specific rendering error, ensuring a more stable visual output. The update also includes general maintenance fixes for camera and user interface elements related to aircraft and naval vessels, which should contribute to a smoother overall experience.
- Armor Upgrades: Radiator and air duct armor on the BT-7 and BT-7M have been standardized to 10 mm.
- Visual Correction: Shadow flickering on the PlayStation 5 Pro has been addressed.
- Targeting Accuracy: Rocket sight alignment for the Bf 109 G-6 has been corrected.
- General Maintenance: Various camera and UI bugs for aircraft and naval units have been resolved.
Players should ensure their game client is updated to version 2.59.0.75 to access these improvements. While this patch does not introduce new vehicles or major gameplay overhauls, the technical corrections provide necessary stability for both ground and air combat. Gaijin Entertainment continues to monitor player feedback to identify further areas for technical refinement across all platforms.
