Aircraft

  • R2Y2 Kai (all variants) — these aircraft have been removed from research today as announced and planned. Players who owned them or who put at least 1 RP into them keep them in their research tree. For more information, please visit the news post from February here.
  • A bug that caused the AN/ALR-46(V)3 and AN/APR(V)1 RWRs to not recognize the S-75 SAM radar has been fixed.
  • F-15E — a bug that caused the AGM-65D camera to lack the IR channel has been fixed.

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.

We are aware of the interface bug. You will see R2Y2 in tech tree in few (if you have met the requirements mentioned in text), sorry for the problem.

What a sad, sad day this is today. Perhaps, this is the saddest day of all the saddest of days. Infact, this is undeniably the saddest day in history. Everyone must cry

I wish the R2Y2’s didn’t get removed

Kinda feels pointless to remove them because they never existed when not only have they been in the game for so long now but also there isn’t anything to take their place in the tech tree atm

Also the Ho-Ri Production still exists ingame despite the fact that its also fake and has other vehicles that can take its place in the tech tree atm

Are we allowing Fake vehicles or not?

Yet Ho Ri and ostwind 2 are still in the game and have premium editions and there’s fake ordinance like KH38MT.

There is a replacement in the japan tree for HO-Ri in the type 99 SPG

KH38MT had one dummy mockup and there hasn’t been a sighting of the thing since so is likely fake

Ostwind 2 has rumour of a prototype made but there is zero solid evidence of it, and if it was it would more than likely have had the guns above and below each other instead of side to side
