War Thunder Update 2.45.1.71 Fixes Radar Modes and Game Freezes

War Thunder update 2.45.1.71 resolves a radar cycling bug on the MiG-23, restores collision to buildings on Mozdok and Flanders, and addresses gamepad navigation issues.

Gaijin Entertainment has released update 2.45.1.71 for War Thunder, addressing specific community bug reports concerning aircraft radar, map collision, and interface navigation.

Aircraft Radar Fix

All variants of the MiG-23 no longer experience an issue where the radar constantly cycles modes when pointed horizontally during horizontal flight with gyro stabilization turned off.

Map Collisions and Interface

Buildings on the Mozdok and Flanders maps now have proper collision properties, allowing random battles on those locations to resume. Gamepad users can now scroll the Secondary Weapons menu properly when using the d-pad to control the cursor.

Stability and Crashes

A bug that caused the game to freeze when switching to a vehicle equipped with a Marketplace camouflage has been resolved.

Why this patch matters

Update 2.45.1.71 delivers targeted fixes for specific aircraft radars, map geometries, and menu stability.
