War Thunder Update 2.59.0.49 Fixes Ships, Wheels, and Bombing Markers
War Thunder's update 2.59.0.49, published on 6 October 2026, is a compact patch that leans heavily on bug fixes with one concrete addition for aircraft.
What changed
Aircraft
- The Tempest Mk II and Tempest Mk V both gain separate bomb drop capability, sourced from A.P. 2458B Pilot's Notes for Tempest II - Centaurus V Engine.
Ground vehicles
- A bug causing wheeled vehicles to shake after losing all wheels on one side has been fixed.
Naval
- A camera alignment bug — triggered by entering ADS while holding the mouse-look key — has been resolved.
- Ships no longer roll toward the catapult side after deploying a scout plane.
Locations and missions
- Aircraft carriers now move from the map edge toward the center on all air combat maps where they appear.
- A level-of-detail bug in Southeastern City that caused building models to vanish at distance has been corrected.
Interface
- Bombing target markers no longer shift position when viewed from the cockpit or a targeting pod.
The Tempest addition gives pilots of those two aircraft a meaningful tactical option, while the carrier movement change affects map positioning across every air combat map that features them — a quiet but broadly felt adjustment.
