War Thunder Update v2.47.0.104 Adjusts Bearcat Ordnance and Adds Naval Camos
War Thunder Update v2.47.0.104 removes asymmetric bomb and rocket drops for F8F Bearcats based on historical manuals. It also introduces new tricolor camouflage options for specific naval vessels.
War Thunder Update v2.47.0.104 brings historical accuracy adjustments to American and French naval fighters alongside cosmetic additions for select boats. These changes refine aircraft loadouts and expand visual options.
F8F Bearcat Ordnance Restrictions
The F8F-1, F8F-1B, and the French F8F-1B can no longer launch bombs and Tiny Tim rockets from underwing pylons separately. This change complies with historical data from the AN 01-85FD-1 Pilot's Handbook for Navy Models F8F-1, which dictates that the maximum load difference between wings must not exceed 250 lbs.
New Naval Camouflage Options
Naval captains have new visual options available in port. The Dark Aggressor TD and MTB-422 receive a new tricolor wavy camouflage pattern, while the LCM(6) Zippo gains a tricolor spotted camouflage style.
Why this patch matters
Update v2.47.0.104 makes a historical correction to high-tier propeller aircraft loadouts while rolling out paint schemes for select naval vessels.
