A nice little early New Year present for all War Thunder aficionados has just landed today with update 2.13.0.53. The patch is by no means a major update but it does go some way to fixing some recent annoying bugs and finally removing them from the game.
The full list below will take you through everything but there is a key change to ground vehicles in arcade mode where the distances for the ballistic calculator have been tweaked.
Besides that there are a lot of small bugs squashed, no longer will a target remain in your x-ray view after launch and gunners won’t take potshots at destroyers with weapons that are helplessly underpowered.
As ever you can get the patch via the War Thunder launcher.
