War Thunder Update 2.55.1.72 Fixes Radar Displays and Flight Models

War Thunder's latest hotfix resolves a persistent roll issue on the MiG-25PD, corrects RWR indicator bugs on minimal clients, and addresses muddy wheel textures.

Update 2.55.1.72 for War Thunder rolls out a targeted series of bug fixes, tackling specific aircraft flight models, radar displays, and interface glitches.

Aircraft and Flight Model Corrections

The MiG-25PD no longer suffers from a bug that caused constant right-side rolling. Z.1007 bis serie 3 and Z.1007 bis serie 5 bombers received a fix for how torn-off wings impact their flight models. Additionally, cockpit view switching on aircraft featuring a 3rd-person gunner view now correctly transitions straight to the cockpit instead of the gunner perspective first.

Radar and Interface Updates

Players using the minimal client will now correctly see threat names on RWR indicators for radars that identify targets. Phantom variants including the F-4J, F-4S, FGR.2, and FG.1 have had their AN/APG-59/60/61 radars corrected to properly display ground clutter in SRC PDV mode. Overlapping threats on RWR indicators now flash correctly.

Graphics, Sound, and Input Tweaks

Distant water rendering errors that created thin stripes have been cleared up, and ground vehicle wheels now properly accumulate mud. In the kill camera, engine audio for destroying vehicles outside normal hearing range now plays correctly. For controls, simultaneously pressing maximum and min input buttons on the same axis now cancels out inputs entirely instead of favoring one direction.

Why this patch matters

This update is a clean-up patch that directly addresses community bug reports, smoothing out specific vehicle behaviors and UI indicators without altering core meta balance.
