War Thunder Update v2.47.0.72 Refines Radar and Audio Cues
War Thunder update v2.47.0.72 improves radar performance for top-tier jets, adds ground-tracking modes, and introduces unique audio cues for naval ammunition explosions.
Update v2.47.0.72 hits War Thunder with targeted adjustments to modern aircraft radar behavior, third-party camera positioning, and specific audio effects across naval units and self-propelled artillery.
Avionics and Radar Overhauls
Jets like the EF-2000, Typhoon FGR.4, and F-2000A get revised TWS scan zone dimensions for smoother handling. TWS modes now pair tracks more accurately with valid radar reflections, cutting down on false positives. Electronic scan zone stabilization drops roll speed caps on these radars while adding TWS GMTI mode for tracking ground targets. IRST rigs also gain wider, faster sweeps along with roll stabilization.
Camera and Environment Adjustments
Third-person perspectives pull slightly backward on an array of jets—including the F-15, F-16, F/A-18, MiG-29, Su-27, J-11, Su-30SM, Su-33, and Su-34—to help pilots keep their bearings during dogfights. Over on the Malta map, missing patches of turf return and incorrect foliage colors get corrected.
Naval and Audio Updates
Rank VII naval vessels properly award research bonuses once more. Sound design sees specific additions, giving naval ammunition blasts their own dedicated audio while outfitting every variant of the M109, alongside the XM975, with unique engine sounds.
Why this patch matters
Update v2.47.0.72 brings quality-of-life fixes to top-tier air battles, sorting out persistent radar tracking errors and fixing broken naval progression.
