War Thunder 2.59.0.22 Patches Aircraft Shakes, AGM-88G Speed, and More
A focused bug-fix update addresses flight model inaccuracies, cockpit display errors, and ground vehicle damage model refinements across multiple nations.
War Thunder's update 2.59.0.22, published 22 September 2026, is a targeted maintenance patch touching aircraft, helicopters, and ground vehicles across several tech trees.
What changed
Aircraft
- Hawk (all variants): Fixed a bug causing the aircraft to shake when turning in Arcade Battles.
- CA-27 Mk.32 (Great Britain & Japan): Corrected the name, description, and icon for the 1,000 lb bomb unlock modification; also fixed a non-functional gyroscopic gunsight in the cockpit.
- F-86E(M) (Israel): Flight model parameters adjusted to match the CL-13 Mk.4 / F-86E standard; engine changed to the J47-GE-13. Gyroscopic gunsight also fixed.
- B-26B (Indonesia): Now shares the updated bomber damage model used by others in its family; right engine was missing from X-ray view and has been restored.
- Mirage 4000: Fixed an empty radar tooltip in X-ray view.
- H145M: Fixed engine overheating bug.
- Ka-29: Erroneously added S-24 modification removed; Silver Lions and Golden Eagles spent on it will be compensated.
- Saraph: Battle Rating in Arcade Battles reduced to 10.7.
- AGM-88G AARGM-ER: Flight model adjusted — the missile can now reach Mach 4.0 when launched at Mach 1.8 from 12 km altitude, up from a previous ceiling of Mach 3.6.
- Kh-31 (all variants): Air intake fairing jettison animation now plays correctly after launch.
Ground vehicles
- A bug preventing field repair from starting has been fixed.
- T-44 (Be Prepared!): Rear-left mudguard removed from the damage model where it was incorrectly present.
- Overpressure damage models for many ground vehicles — particularly wheeled vehicles where crew is separated from the hull — have been refined following the Sky Odyssey major update.
For players flying the affected aircraft or commanding the revised ground vehicles, the patch closes a meaningful set of simulation-accuracy gaps rather than introducing new content.
