War Thunder Update 2.47.0.43 Adjusts Visual Effects and Map Collisions
Gaijin Entertainment has released War Thunder update 2.47.0.43, scaling down small shell self-destruction effects while enlarging rocket explosions. The patch also addresses windmill collisions and blocks an unintended hill spot on 38th Parallel.
Gaijin Entertainment has deployed update 2.47.0.43 for War Thunder. The latest patch alters specific visual effects for weaponry and resolves map collision issues.
Visual Effect Changes
The self-destruction visual effect size for shells up to 40 mm has been reduced. Conversely, the visual effect size for rocket explosions hitting ground vehicles, naval vessels, and various landscape types has been increased.
Map and Collision Fixes
A collision bug that allowed vehicles and shells to pass straight through windmills has been fixed. Additionally, on the 38th Parallel map, an unintended accessible position located on the hill in grid square B4 is now blocked off.
Why this patch matters
Update 2.47.0.43 brings minor visual clarity changes to ordinance explosions and closes an exploitable map geometry gap.
