Hey everyone,
I really love playing War Thunder, but as a Mac player, it’s getting pretty frustrating seeing how poorly optimized the game still is on macOS compared to Windows. Even on newer M-series Macs, we constantly have to deal with sudden frame drops, micro-stutters during heavy battles, and occasional visual bugs that ruin the experience.
It would be awesome if the team could dedicate some time in an upcoming update to give macOS a proper performance pass. Implementing Apple’s MetalFX upscaling would be a massive help for smoother frame rates, and updating the launcher to run natively on Apple Silicon instead of relying on Rosetta would also make things much cleaner. Just fixing the frame time inconsistencies and random Mac-specific crashes would make a world of difference for us.
The Mac community is definitely here and wants to enjoy the game, so we’d really appreciate it if you could take a look at optimizing the macOS build. Thanks for all the hard work!

Hey!! I totally agree with you on the way War Thunder is being treated on MacOS… I just downloaded after years of not playing and was baffeled when noone even moved the logo “WarThunder” in hangar to not be covered by the dynamic island :DDD obviously there are updates that optimize game mechanics but no-one ever touched the main code on which it runs since it was delivered… However I experience only two stutters in first match when map loads and then I’m having 77fps steadily on movie graphics preset. (pro, base M5, with 24gb ram)
