War Thunder Update 2.59.0.28 Adjusts Rocket Detonation and Fixes Mosquito X-Rays

War Thunder Update 2.59.0.28 disables remote detonation for unguided rockets that lacked the feature historically. The patch also fixes missing X-ray cannons on Mosquito variants and resolves ARH missile radar display bugs.

Gaijin Entertainment released War Thunder Update 2.59.0.28, introducing historical accuracy fixes for unguided rockets and resolving interface and map bugs.

Rocket and Aircraft Fixes

Remote detonation capability is now disabled for unguided aircraft rockets that did not possess the feature in real life, affecting families such as FFAR, Hydra 70, S-8, S-25, and CRV7. Additionally, an X-ray view bug affecting the Mosquito FB Mk VI across British and Swedish trees, along with the FB Mk VI ASH, FB.Mk.26, and TR.Mk.33 variants, has been fixed to properly display all four 20mm cannons.

Interface and Radar Corrections

Active radar homing missile launches no longer suffer from missing target illumination circles on radar displays. The indicator now appears correctly before the missile seeker achieves lock-on.

Locations and Surrender Mechanics

A bug preventing automatic aircraft surrender and leaving mechanics after landing on enemy aircraft carriers is now resolved. The Ardennes map also receives a fix for missing grass terrain in specific areas.

Why this patch matters

Update 2.59.0.28 brings targeted realism adjustments to unguided ordnance while clearing up persistent interface bugs for radar missiles and carrier landings.
