War Thunder’s second major update of 2024 is here! With the release of this update, you’ll be able to enjoy several implemented Roadmap features including the ability to drag n’ drop vehicles from the research tree, separate flares & chaff, new crew models, and much more. We’ve also introduced brand-new FOX-3 missiles for each nation, plus the F-15C, F-15J(M), Baz Meshupar, F-4F KWS LV, J-11A and Su-27SM that can carry this new type of missile. Numerous BeNeLux aircraft join France as a new line; two stand-out aircraft include the domestic Dutch Fokker G.IA and F-16AM with MAWs! For ground fans, we’ve introduced the XM800T that will speed around the battlefield, the Desert Warrior and VEXTRA 105 for Britain and France to support lineups, plus many more. The Strela-2M capable Bernau has joined Germany’s Coastal fleet tree, and the Mysterious Valley and Bering Sea are two new locations set for Air and Naval battles.

F-16 (all variants), F-15 (all variants), JA37 (all variants), JAS39 (all variants), Sea Harrier FA 2, AV-8B Plus (all variants) — radar on these aircraft will no longer capture chaff above the horizon in ACM and HMS modes.

Numerous bug fixes

Numerous bug fixes

Some players using third-party overlays such as Overwolf are experiencing issues with their keyboard and mouse functionality in War Thunder. We’re currently working on a solution for this issue, but for now we recommend that if your game has stopped responding to keyboard and mouse commands, disable overlays that use key and mouse inputs. According to the data we have, Steam and Nvidia overlays don’t cause any problem and can be left enabled.

Changes in ground vehicle simulator battles brackets.

A server-client synchronization bug that could have caused some trees to become invisible for the player in the session has been fixed. This could have lead to the vanishing of shells if they were shot through trees.

Rookie trophies with vehicles available in the in-game Item Shop for Golden Eagles are now updated twice as often: every 15 days. There are now 7 trophies instead of 12 at any given time.

A bug that caused blowout panels to not work has been fixed.
