War Thunder Update v2.47.0.55 Fixes Radar Locking and HESH Shell Damage

War Thunder Update v2.47.0.55 resolves a bug that caused SPAA hard locks to drop instantly when tracking guided ordnance. The patch also improves HESH shell fragmentation damage against internal modules and adds filtering options to the radar control screen.

War Thunder Update v2.47.0.55 addresses community bug reports with targeted fixes for ground vehicles, naval vessels, interface usability, and map rotations. The update prioritizes combat consistency by correcting radar behaviors, damage calculations, and interface readability.

Ground Vehicles and Naval Adjustments

SPAA radar hard locks no longer drop instantly when tracking incoming bombs and missiles, resolving an issue that affected target tracking. Soft lock tracking via TWS remains unchanged. Secondary fragments from HESH shells now properly damage modules directly behind penetrated armor plates. Additionally, a test drive bug that loaded extra unselected shells has been fixed. For naval players, ships equipped with additional torpedo stowage can now switch torpedo tubes correctly after launching at least one torpedo.

Radar Interface Upgrades

The radar control screen target list features several layout corrections and new filtering tools. Players can now filter targets by type, including aircraft, helicopters, and ammunition, or by size. Glide and unguided bombs are categorized by size rather than ammunition. Targets located outside current tracking limits are highlighted in red, the active target index now has a visible frame, and tooltips display target parameters. Truncated three-digit indices and controller navigation bugs in the target list are also resolved.

Missions and Matchmaking

Air spawn points have been added to sessions with a Battle Rating of 10.7 or higher on Rocky Canyon, Pyrenees, Rocky Pillars, Southeastern City, and Battle for Vietnam. In matchmaking, all Sinai and Sands of Sinai missions across every game mode are temporarily removed from rotation to ensure resource synchronization. A bug causing automatic reconnections when leaving Air Simulator Battle sessions has also been fixed.

Why this patch matters

Update v2.47.0.55 delivers practical fixes for radar tracking, ballistic damage, and interface clarity, directly addressing player reports without introducing sweeping meta changes.
