War Thunder Update v2.47.0.46 Refines TWS Radar and Aircraft Spawns

War Thunder update v2.47.0.46 introduces stricter radar gating for select aircraft, pin-able visual weapon selectors, and higher-tier air spawns. The patch also addresses performance impacts from Path Traced Global Illumination.

Gaijin Entertainment has released update v2.47.0.46 for War Thunder, tightening radar target acquisition for specific aircraft and bringing quality-of-life interface options to weapon selection.

Aircraft Radar and Flight Adjustments

Gating restrictions for speed and range on the F-2A, F-2A ADTW, and Su-34 are more stringent when switching from TWS mode to track modes, lowering the chance of locking incorrect targets. Additionally, engine sounds for the T54E1 and T54E2 use the M4A3 engine sound.

Interface and Control Updates

Players can pin the visual weapon selector to the screen using a new action interface. The pinned selector remains operational without locking aircraft controls, and interaction uses the cursor activated via the Show mouse cursor command. Radar control screens gain a team filter for targets, and a bug linking sight stabilization to night vision activation on gamepads is resolved.

Missions and Graphics

New air spawn points are added to Afghanistan, Kamchatka, Smolensk, Golan Heights, and Denmark for Battle Rating sessions of 10.7 and above. Invisible collision bugs in Finland are fixed, returning those missions to rotation. Path Traced Global Illumination no longer renders unused ambient occlusion.

Why this patch matters

Update v2.47.0.46 delivers targeted adjustments to high-tier air combat mechanics and resolves persistent collision bugs on classic maps.
