War Thunder Update 2.59.0.49: Aircraft and Bug Fixes
War Thunder Update 2.59.0.49 adds separate bomb release for two Tempest aircraft, changes carrier movement on air-combat maps, and fixes several vehicle, naval, location, and interface bugs.
Gaijin published the War Thunder Update 2.59.0.49 notes on October 6, 2026. The listed changes cover a new bomb-release option for two Tempest aircraft, aircraft-carrier movement on air-combat maps, and fixes for ground vehicles, ships, a location, and the interface.
Aircraft and ground vehicles
The Tempest Mk II and Tempest Mk V can now drop bombs separately. The notes cite the A.P. 2458B Pilot's Notes for Tempest II - Centaurus V Engine as the source for this change. For wheeled ground vehicles, a bug that caused shaking after all wheels on one side were lost has been fixed.
Naval fixes
Two ship-related bugs are listed as fixed. After entering aim-down-sight mode while holding the mouse-look key, the camera could fail to align with the direction of view. Ships could also begin rolling toward the side with the catapult after launching a scout plane.
Maps and interface
On all air-combat maps where aircraft carriers are present, they now move from the edge of the map toward its center. On Southeastern City, a fix addresses some building models disappearing as players moved away from them. Bombing target markers no longer shift when viewed from the cockpit or a targeting pod, according to the notes.
Gaijin notes that its patch notes cover key changes and may not include every improvement. FindMates can help you look for players to join for a War Thunder session.
