War Thunder Update 2.45.0.10 Patch Notes

Update 2.45.0.10 adds DLSS 4 support to War Thunder, increases Rapier Mk.2 missile range and speed, and stops game crashes on top-tier aircraft.

War Thunder patch v2.45.0.10 introduces DLSS 4, missile buffs for British air defense, and stability fixes for high-tier jet combat.

Graphics and Interface Updates

Support for DLSS 4 is now active. A bug that turned UAV camera feeds white when players combined tank night vision with UAV thermals has been resolved. Stat cards for aircraft rockets and missiles now show cumulative and high-explosive armor penetration values.

Weapon and Vehicle Adjustments

The Tracked Rapier gets major missile upgrades based on BAE press data. The Rapier Mk.2 missile top speed rises to Mach 2.5, maximum overload increases to 35G, and range extends to 8.2 km. The XM246 tracking radar dome no longer shifts when aiming the turret vertically, and ground vehicles slide less on rocky terrain.

Stability and Environment Fixes

Launching radar-homing missiles on aircraft such as the F/A-18A, F/A-18C Early, AV-8B Plus variants, and F-4F KWS LV no longer crashes the game. On the Advance to the Rhine map, the detailed cathedral model now renders correctly for aircraft at high altitudes. The Kamchatka map no longer spawns allied air defense units on the runway.

Animation Polish

A landing gear animation bug on the Su-33 that caused parts to clip through the aircraft has been fixed.

Why this patch matters

Update 2.45.0.10 delivers crucial stability fixes for top-tier pilots and makes the Tracked Rapier a stronger anti-air threat.
