War Thunder Update 2.51.0.36 Fixes Radar Tracking and Aircraft Models

Gaijin has released War Thunder update 2.51.0.36, fixing ESA radar target tracking, removing unauthorized fire extinguishers on select jets, and addressing ultrawide UI issues. Naval missions on South Kvarken are temporarily offline for a rework.

The latest War Thunder patch targets persistent radar tracking bugs, incorrect aircraft modifications, and interface scaling errors on ultrawide displays.

Radar and Weapon Fixes

ESA radars will no longer lose tracked targets when those targets move outside the current scan area. On the AJ37 and AJS37, a bug obstructing the targeting pod view when using RB75 and RB75T missiles has been resolved. The F-15C Golden Eagle no longer displays an extra hardpoint on conformal fuel tanks with certain loads, and cockpit text key display errors for R-27ET1 and R-27ER1 missiles on the Su-30MK2 AMV have been fixed.

Aircraft Modifications

The Alpha Jet variants can no longer extinguish engine fires, removing an erroneous capability. Additionally, a bug allowing the Mi-8TV and German Mi-8TB to use a fire extinguisher without the EFS modification has been patched. The Tornado IDS ASSTA1 will no longer spawn directly in the air, and JH-7 and JH-7A drop tanks will no longer float in midair after wing tips are ripped off.

Interface and Locations

Silver Lions and Golden Eagles purchase windows now display correctly on ultrawide monitors. XeSS has also been removed from the anti-aliasing options list for unsupported video cards. Naval missions on the South Kvarken location are temporarily disabled for a rework.

Why this patch matters

Update 2.51.0.36 delivers crucial bug fixes for high-tier aircraft radar and weapon optics, alongside welcome UI corrections for ultrawide users.
