War Thunder Server Update Fixes NCTR Radar Recognition and RWR Types

The October 1, 2025 War Thunder server update fixes radar target recognition for several fighter jets and adjusts the RWR type on Soviet strike aircraft. It also resolves a helicopter control hint bug.

A new server update for War Thunder brings targeted fixes for aircraft radar systems, radar warning receiver equipment, and helicopter interface prompts.

Radar and RWR Adjustments

Several aircraft now register correctly with Non-Cooperative Target Recognition systems. The affected jets include the F-5TH TCU, F-16I Sufa, F-16A OCU for Belgium, the Australian F/A-18A and AF/A-18A Late, and the Canadian CF-188. Meanwhile, all variants of the Su-22UM3K, Su-17M4, and Su-22M4 now utilize the SPO-15LM RWR type, based on operational documentation.

Interface Corrections

Helicopter pilots will no longer see fixed-wing aircraft control prompts when using the secondary weapon switch action in the action bar.
