The Seek & Destroy major update brought many features, but also a handful of unfortunate bugs. In this It’s Fixed article we’ll be talking about some bugs that we fixed that arose due to the release of the major update.

If you’ve found a bug that you’d like to report, you can do so on our community bug reporting platform.

Loading Ammunition Fixes


Loading ammunition into ground vehicles was in reverse order. The loading of shells into each of the ammunition racks of the first and second stages occurred in reverse order, and if the vehicle had several second-stage ammunition racks, the lowest priority one was filled first. We’ve fixed this now.

For example, on the M1 Abrams tanks, after the first stage stowage was filled,... Read more

Last week, we released Seek & Destroy, War Thunder’s second major update of 2024. This update came with a plethora of additions that we had planned on our Roadmap, and today we wanted to highlight them to you.

Separate Flares and Chaff Since it was only possible to select pre-made countermeasure loadouts consisting of four different options, we wanted to provide players with as much customizable options as possible. You’re now able to manually adjust the exact ratio of flares to chaff that you want for an aircraft, which you can do from the hangar when going for a test flight, or straight in the battle respawn screen. Go ahead and customize each aircraft to however you desire!

Not familiar with the differences between flares and chaff? Check out our helpful ... Read more

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.

Ground vehicles

• A bug that caused an armor element not to be taken into account after shells had richochetted off this very armor element has been fixed. This bug affected tanks with large complex-shaped armor elements such as the SU-100Y and SMK.
  
• R3 T106 FA, Type 60 SPRG (C), Raketenautomat and others — a bug where only part of the selected ammunition was issued on vehicles ...
