War Thunder Update 2.45.1.105 Tweaks Missile Track Rates and Fixes Aircraft Bugs

War Thunder update v2.45.1.105 refines missile guidance, adjusts explosive mass on specific munitions, and fixes targeting and bomb loadout bugs for aircraft, ground vehicles, and naval vessels.

Gaijin Entertainment has released update v2.45.1.105 for War Thunder, delivering community-requested fixes and balancing tweaks across air, ground, and naval units.

Aircraft Adjustments

Countermeasure deployment on the Q-5A and Q-5L no longer wastes two identical countermeasures per launch. Seeker track rates for AGM-65E, AGM-65E2, and AGM-65L missiles increase from 8 to 12 degrees per second, while field-of-view values for the AGM-65D, AGM-65F, AGM-65G, AGM-130A-12, and GBU-15(V)2/B drop significantly. Loadout changes include adding 500 lbs bomb options to underwing hardpoints on the Chesapeake Mk I while removing the 1000 lbs bomb option.

Ground Vehicle Tweaks

Starstreak missile dart offset from the line of sight after splitting is reduced. The Rapier gains its missing scouting ability. However, explosive mass in the RB 70, RB 70 Mk.2, and BOLIDE missiles carried by the ASRAD-R and Lvrbv 701 drops from 1.1 kg to 522 g.

Naval Vessel Fixes

Onboard 13.2 mm Hotchkiss machine guns on the Leopard now fire properly. The HMS Gay Archer receives a torpedo mode modification while dropping its redundant Auxiliary Armament Targeting modification. The USS Flagstaff hull now correctly breaks when hit by large-caliber shells. The Alano loses its improved rangefinder modification, with spent Research Points and Golden Eagles compensated.

Awards and General Fixes

A set of French ship achievements is now live. A bug that incorrectly granted Air Battle AI destruction awards like "Thunderer" and "Tsunami" during Ground and Naval Battles has been resolved.

Why this patch matters

Patch v2.45.1.105 addresses targeted community bug reports, tuning missile behaviors and correcting loadout discrepancies across multiple vehicle classes.
