What's new in version 2.59.0.38

Aircraft
  • A bug that sometimes caused missiles to not deal damage from direct hits and explosions has been fixed.
  • EF-2000 (AESA), Typhoon (AESA), F-2000A (AESA) — the positions of SPICE 250 pylons have been adjusted.
  • F-16XL — a bug that caused the view in the AGM-65B seeker camera to be partially obscured has been fixed.
  • SB-25J (France) — an issue where some nose-mounted machine guns were missing from the X-ray view has been fixed.
  • A-20G-25 — an issue that caused unused underwing hardpoints to be displayed has been fixed.
  • J35J — the ability to switch maneuver and limits mode has been added. Flight model has been updated. Fuel consumption from drop tanks has been corrected.
  • Welkin F.Mk.I — a bug that caused the emergency fire system to not function has been fixed.
  • F4U-7 (France) — New 20 mm cannons modification has been moved from tier III of modification research to tier II. A bug that caused the tier bonus column to not fit in the modification window has been fixed.
  • Aircraft torpedoes F5W, W 170/450 — a bug that caused the drop limits of these torpedoes to change has been fixed.
Ground Vehicles
  • M24 (Italy) — a bug that caused all identification marks to disappear has been fixed.
  • M24 (all variants), IS-2 (all variants), T-44 (all variants), Panzer IV/70(V), T58 — moments of inertia have been corrected. In some cases the handling is now more responsive and precise.
  • T58 — a bug that caused the stowage in the hull and not in the turret to count as the first-stage ammo has been fixed. A bug that caused some ammo stowage modules to evoke damage effects from other ammo stowage modules (for example, fire instead of explosion and vice-versa) when hit or destroyed, or to not evoke any effects at all (just becoming black) has been fixed.
Interface
  • A bug that caused the tactical map movement cursor mode to not deactivate when releasing RB/R1 button when playing with a controller has been fixed.
  • A bug that caused the performance to noticeably drop when moving the cursor in the artillery support call window has been fixed.
Nuclear Escalation
  • In battles with a session Battle Rating of 11.3-13.0, BMP-2s in tank columns have been replaced with ZSU-23-4M4, and T-80B tanks in columns and strongpoints have been replaced with T-80U.

No silicon not even a Universal? Is this 2022 or 2006?

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.
