War Thunder 2.59.0.28 Patches ARH Radar Display, Rocket Detonation, and Carrier Bug

War Thunder's 2.59.0.28 update, published 23 September 2026, is a targeted patch rather than a content drop — its entries drawn directly from community bug reports and forum feedback.

What changed

Aircraft

• Five Mosquito variants (FB Mk VI in UK and Swedish trees, FB Mk VI ASH, FB.Mk.26, TR.Mk.33) had a missing 20 mm cannon corrected in the X-ray view.
• A significant behavioural change accompanies the Sky Odyssey major update: remote detonation has been disabled for a large list of unguided rockets — including the FFAR, Hydra 70, S-8, S-24, S-25, Nasser 240, Pampero, PRN-122, R4M, Wfr.Gr.21, RZ.65, S-1of, CRV7, Type 3, Type 5, and Yasser — on the basis that these weapons did not possess that capability historically.

Interface

• The ARH missile radar display now correctly shows the target-illumination circle from launch, rather than withholding it until seeker lock-on.

Locations and Missions

• A bug that blocked the surrender mechanic when landing on an enemy aircraft carrier has been resolved.
• Grass rendering gaps on the Ardennes map have been corrected.

The rocket detonation change is the most consequential for active players: any tactics built around remote-detonating unguided rockets against air targets will need to be reconsidered across a wide range of aircraft loadouts.
