What’s new in version 2.51.0.50

Note: The downloadable file is an installer that will install the product when opened.

Interface
  • A bug where it was not possible to find a vehicle by name in the Statistics section of the Player Profile window if the vehicle name contained a space has been fixed.
  • A bug where, if a player's War Bond balance exceeded the maximum limit, completing daily tasks would trigger an erroneous warning window stating that a certain amount of the currency would be lost has been fixed.
  • A "Select all" button has been added to various filter windows to make it easier to select most filter options at once.
  • A bug where, when respawning using a backup, the daily backup was always selected even if all daily backups had been spent has been fixed. Now, the first available backup is selected by default.
Ground Vehicles
  • R400 — gun elevation angles have been corrected from -9/20 to -7/18 degrees.
  • R400 — wheel thickness has been changed from 20 to 10 mm.

  • R400 — the gun has been changed from the 105 mm L7A3 gun to the 105 mm Rh 105-30 gun.
  • TAM 2IP — an error in the description of the armor of the internal partition between the engine and the fighting compartment has been fixed.
  • FSAF SAMP/T — a bug that showed a text key instead of the engine name has been fixed.
  • EBRC Jaguar — an extra detail on the hull that should have only appeared with the additional armor modification installed has been removed.
  • SPYDER — the crew replenishment icon has been changed from German crew to Israeli crew.
Anti-Cheat
  • To participate in Arcade Battles with a Battle Rating of 4.7 or higher, anti-cheat is now required.

Nice one. Probably, one of the best online games ever. For those, who can't run War Thunder on Mac: the problem more in macOS, nor hardware part (but your Mac must be a good one; otherwise it might be buggy; or you will be able to play it on low settings) The solution will be to install Windows 10 as the second OS through Boot Camp (quite easy) and that's it! Work amazing, performance much better than on native macOS. And you can switch between (but beware newest M1 Mac: Boot Camp won't work here)

The requirements marked in MU are incorrect: according to the original website, it needs at least 10.15 and recommends 10.16. Perhaps the people for whom it does not work, the problem comes from the fact that the application can be installed on systems where it does not work. This requirement is not always indicated correctly in the application package, and in many cases that happens: MU does not warn and updates it without actually being able to function correctly. <https://warthunder.com/en/game/about/#requirements>

Don't waste your time with this app. I've had multiple issues trying to make it work on my high spec iMac. Security issues, sign in issues, password wrong issues..etc... I spent a good hour on trying too make it open and run on my iMac with zero success.
