What’s new in version 2.45.1.105

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

Aircraft
  • Q-5A, Q-5L — a bug that caused the deployment of countermeasures to use 2 countermeasures of the same type per launch has been fixed. (Report).
  • AGM-65E/E2/L — maximum seeker rotation speed (track rate) has been increased from 8 to 12 degrees per second. (Report).
  • AGM-65D/F/G, AGM-130A-12, GBU-15(V)2/B — minimum and maximum field of view (FoV) values for the seeker have been reduced from 15 and 30 degrees to 1.5 and 3 degrees respectively. (Report).
  • Blenheim Mk IV — a bug that caused the turret machine gun modules to be swapped has been fixed. (Report).
  • Chesapeake Mk I — the ability to carry 1000 lbs bomb has been removed. The ability to carry 500 lbs bombs on underwing hardpoints has been added. (Report). Erroneously low maximum load on each of the wings and total maximum load have been increased.
  • Tu-2 — the ability to carry BRAB-250, BRAB-500 and BRAB-1000 has beed added.
  • Z.1007 bis serie 3, Z.1007 bis serie 5 — a 500-kg bomb modification description that stated the bombs were armor-piercing has been corrected, as the unlocked bomb is not armor-piercing.
  • A32A — a bug in the Brandbomb m/58 description that caused the explosive type to be listed with a text key has been fixed. (Report).
  • P1Y1 mod. 11 (all variants) — a preset with 800-kg armour-piercing bomb has been moved from the “To hit ground targets” category to “To hit sea targets” category. (Report).
Ground Vehicles
  • Starstreak missile — dart offset from the line of sight after splitting has been reduced. (Report).
  • Rapier — the incorrectly missing scouting ability has been added. (Report).

Naval Vessels
  • Leopard — a bug where the onboard 13.2 mm Hotchkiss machine guns did not fire has been fixed. (Report).
  • HMS Gay Archer —the Auxiliary Armament Targeting modification has been removed since it is not needed. (Report). Torpedo mode modification has been added. (Report).
  • USS Flagstaff — a bug where the boat’s hull did not break when it was hit by large caliber shells has been fixed. (Report).
  • Alano — the improved rangefinder modification has been removed, since the boat only has autocannons, which do not need this modification. Research Points and Golden Eagles spent on its research will be compensated. (Report).
Other
  • A set of achievements related to the French ships and boats have been added.
  • A bug that caused the “Thunderer”, “Tsunami”, “Antimech”, and “Rogue wave” awards which imply destruction of enemy AI vehicles in Air Battles to be awarded in Ground and Naval Battles has been fixed.

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.
