Deployment of Update 2.59.0.92

Gaijin Entertainment has officially released update 2.59.0.92 for War Thunder, bringing the game to its latest iteration across PC, PlayStation, and Xbox platforms. This release serves as a targeted maintenance and balancing patch, focusing on the competitive integrity of vehicle matchmaking and the correction of specific mechanical errors that have persisted in aerial combat modes. Players should expect these changes to take effect immediately upon launching the game client, as the server-side parameters have been updated to reflect the new configuration.

The most significant component of this update is the activation of the latest planned Battle Rating adjustments. These modifications are designed to recalibrate the matchmaking efficiency of various vehicles, ensuring that combat encounters remain within the intended performance brackets. Because these changes influence the tiering of vehicles, players are encouraged to inspect their current lineups and vehicle presets. Adjusting your loadouts to account for these shifts will be necessary to maintain optimal performance in your preferred game modes, as the matchmaking system now utilizes these updated values to pair opponents.

Addressing Air Realistic Battles and Technical Integrity

Beyond the broader balance adjustments, the development team has addressed a specific technical issue that was impacting the flow of Air Realistic Battles. Prior to this update, the game failed to correctly enforce the intended bomber limit per team, which occasionally resulted in match compositions that deviated from the established design parameters. With the deployment of version 2.59.0.92, this bug is now resolved. The system will now strictly adhere to the defined bomber limits, ensuring that team compositions in Air Realistic Battles align with the intended gameplay experience for all participants.

The following summary outlines the primary changes included in this update:

  • Version Update: The game client has been updated to version 2.59.0.92 across all supported platforms.
  • Battle Rating Calibration: All planned adjustments to vehicle Battle Ratings are now live and active in the matchmaking system.
  • Bomber Limit Correction: A technical error preventing the correct enforcement of bomber limits in Air Realistic Battles has been fixed.
  • Documentation Scope: The official patch notes provided by the developers do not constitute a comprehensive list of every minor change or background adjustment made to the game files.

While these updates address high-priority concerns regarding matchmaking and team composition, it is standard practice for the development team to include minor background fixes that are not explicitly detailed in the primary release documentation. The team continues to monitor the impact of these Battle Rating changes to ensure that the new configurations function as intended across the entire vehicle roster. Players should remain observant of their vehicle performance in the coming days as the community adapts to these new matchmaking parameters. If you notice unexpected behavior in your matches, ensure your client is fully updated to the latest version to avoid compatibility issues with the current server-side settings.
