Aircraft

  • F-16I Sufa — a bug that prevented the GBU-15 seeker from locking on to a target and didn’t allow the player to switch to an optical seeker view has been fixed. (Report).
  • AV-8B Plus, AV-8B (NA) — separate firing for APKWS has been added. Launching APKWS while hovering in Realistic Battles will no longer cause them to detonate instantly (Report, Report).
  • A bug that sometimes caused one or multiple detected targets to be randomly lost inside the radar’s scan area when tracking a group of targets in TWS modes has been fixed.
  • AGM-179 JAGM-MR — the power of the fragmentation field has been increased and made comparable to that of large-caliber ATGMs.

Naval Vessels

  • HMS Rodney — a bug where armor plates were missing from the ship’s armor model on the starboard side, beneath two of the main battery turrets has been fixed. (Report).
  • MTB Vosper, MTB-1(1) — the aiming sectors for the 7.7mm Lewis machine guns have been corrected, so the barrels no longer aim up and down to avoid elements of the boat that do not physically obstruct the guns but interfere with the line of fire.

Interface

  • In the achievements window, the appearance of the pop-up that displays the list of rewards obtainable from a trophy has been updated.
  • A saving of target filters in the radar control window for ground vehicles has been added. Now players don’t need to have to set filters again atfter each spawn.
  • A bug in Tank Arcade Battles where clicking the air event button with the mouse cursor would ignore the remaining cooldown, making it possible to spawn in an aircraft or helicopter earlier than by using the hotkey has been fixed. (Report).
  • A bug that caused the aircraft visual weapons selector to not display external guns has been fixed.
  • A bug where in the spawn window the selected vehicle could reset when opening the game menu has been fixed.
  • A bug where the missile guidance disruption hint due to IRCM interference would disappear too quickly has been fixed.
  • A bug where it was not possible to respawn in singleplayer missions when playing them in co-op has been fixed.
  • A bug where the player list overlapped with the aircraft parameters in Custom Battles in Referee mode has been fixed.
  • A bug where the torpedo speed and depth did not change in the test sail window in the tooltip when changing the game mode and depth settings has been fixed.
  • A bug where the close button in the chat window in the hangar would change its position when there was a large number of chat tabs has been fixed.
  • A bug that caused all players to have their nicknames shown twice in brackets in replays has been fixed.

Anti-Cheat

  • In Air Arcade and Realistic Battles, as well as in Ground Arcade Battles, the minimum Battle Rating of vehicle lineups that require the anti-cheat to be enabled has been reduced from 11.0 to 8.0.

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.

It has previously only been active for realistic and sim (all BR’s), that changed a while back so now it’s also in arcade and they are planning to gradually lower the BR’s where it’s mandatory:

I don’t get it… does it mean that people can cheat at 11.0+ BR???

No, it means that the Kernel level Anti-cheat that War Thunder uses is not active if you are playing anything below 8.0

13

That shit should have been done since the start wtf
