What’s new in version 2.53.0.58
Aircraft
- A bug where laser homing seekers that did not have the ability to uncage would send incorrect target coordinates and speed data to the autopilot after locking on, causing the munition to miss its target has been fixed. (Report, Report).
- GBU-10/12/16/48/49/50 Paveway II, Paveway IV, GBU-54B LJDAM, GBU-62 LJDAM-ER, KAB-500L, KAB-1500L, BGL-400, BGL-1000, Mk.13, Mk.18, GB3, GB500, BA-FG-230-Lizard-2, BA-FG-230-Lizard-3, Fire Snake 90A, GATR, CIRIT, AGM-123 Skipper, AGR-20A (APKWS II M151), AGR-20B (APKWS II M282) — a wind stabilization mechanic has been added to aerodynamically stabilized laser seekers. Now in flight, the seeker is directed along its flight direction (velocity vector) instead of along the central axis of the munition, which lowers the chance of losing the target.
- F/A-18E — a bug that caused the flaperons to remain hovering in the air when the wing was torn off has been fixed. (Report).
- Re.2005 (VDM) — the maximum weight of the secondary weapons has been increased from 655 kg to 710 kg to match the Re.2005 serie 0.
- Ayit — the appearance of the brake parachute has been adjusted. (Report).
- Kor-2 — a bug that caused the smoke screen system to be missing has been fixed. (Report).
- Do 217 E-2, Do 217 E-4, Do 217 K-1, Do 217 M-1 — a bug where the pre-installed armament set consisting of two SC1000 bombs located in the fuselage was missing has been fixed. (Report).
- Mosquito B Mk.16 — the engine power has been increased. (Report).
- KAB-500Kr — the warhead type has been corrected from high-explosive fragmentation to semi-armor-piercing. The ability to set the fuse delay has been removed.
- The material of the casing of AP bombs that are calibers of 250 kg or more has been changed from 5 mm of structural steel that is shared with usual HE bombs to 10 mm of CHA.
- A-7E (all variants) — the color of the 2 x 1000 lb LDGP Mk.83 bomb icon in the secondary weapons menu has been corrected. (Report).
Ground Vehicles
- Tor-M1 (USSR) — a bug that caused the scouting ability to be missing in battle has been fixed. (Report).
- A bug that caused the text key to display after repairing power electronics and hydraulics modules has been fixed.
Naval Vessels
- IJN Musashi, IJN Yamato — the ship’s internal structure has been corrected in the area of the forward and aft ammunition magazines. A bug where the detonation of the shell rooms would cause the detonation of all magazines, destroying the ship, has been fixed.
Graphics
- A bug that sometimes caused dark square artifacts to appear on the landscape on Xbox One consoles has been fixed.

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)

Version: 2.3.0.110
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.

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.
