War Thunder Update 2.59.0.11 Patches Aircraft, Armor, and Model Bugs

War Thunder's Update 2.59.0.11, published 17 September 2026, is a bug-fix release touching a wide spread of vehicles without introducing new content.

What changed

Aircraft

• F-102A: missing air intake textures restored.
• JAS39E: fuselage hardpoint loadout restrictions adjusted to prevent weapon model clipping.
• Do 217 J-2: erroneously added bomb modifications removed; Silver Lions and Golden Eagles spent on them will be compensated.
• B-26B (Indonesia): corrected a bug causing the aircraft to roll to one side in flight.
• PBM-3: brought up to the updated bomber damage model shared by the rest of its family.
• All air-to-surface HE ATGMs: warheads no longer display incorrectly as SAP type.
• Mirage 2000C-S4 and C-S5: radar now appears correctly in X-ray view.
• MiG-35 and MiG-29KR (9-41R): improved high-altitude, high-speed maneuvering behavior on instructor control schemes.
• ASM-3: air intake now opens correctly after launch.

Ground vehicles

• M18 family (multiple nation variants): incorrect barrel texture fixed; muzzle brake and mudflaps now display on the model.
• Leopard 2HEL: mass corrected from 59.9 to 63 tons, citing an archived Hellenic Army General Staff source.
• ASU-57: gun traverse restored after a bug left it non-functional.
• M1 KVT: side skirts no longer disappear when the Vismod modification is active; composite armor equivalent protection values corrected.
• M1A2 SEP: side skirts no longer disappear when the TUSK ERA kit is installed.
• Breda 501: gun depression angle adjustment noted (source text incomplete).

For players, the Do 217 J-2 compensation and the Leopard 2HEL mass correction are the changes most likely to affect progression and balance respectively.
