What’s new in version 2.53.0.72
Battle Ratings
- The Planned Battle Rating changes have come into effect.
Aircraft
- A bug where the missile launch zone indication was not displayed on the radar indicator unless the target was also locked on by the targeting pod when it was being used has been fixed. (Report).
- A bug where airborne respawn points were displayed incorrectly on the horizontal situation display MFD page of modern aircraft has been fixed.
- A bug that could cause the lock-on to “drift” away from the target in some cases when infrared air-to-air missiles locked onto targets that weren’t using countermeasures has been fixed.
- A bug that could cause the artificial horizon in the cockpits of some aircraft to abruptly move around when performing a barrel roll to the left has been fixed.
Ground Vehicles
- A bug where the choice of ammunition on a random vehicle in battle was applied to the game vehicle owned by the player has been fixed. The ammunition settings are now saved separately both for random vehicles and for vehicles owned by the player. (Report).
- A bug where random SAM systems in Ground Battles had access to researchable missiles has been fixed.
- T-55AM-1 — a bug where the turret model in the damage indicator was displayed incorrectly has been fixed. (Report).
- H.35 — a bug where some armor parts did not rotate with the turret has been fixed.
Interface
- A bug where the vehicle research bonus bar would display incorrectly if there was no visible premium, squadron or special vehicles in the tree has been fixed. For example, this issue occurred in the Japanese helicopter research tree. (Report).
- A bug that caused the flags of nations to extend beyond the border of the “Vehicles Collector” profile showcase has been fixed.
- A bug that prevented detailed missile characteristics from being displayed in the menu and in combat for Multi-Vehicle SAM Systems before switching to the launcher has been fixed.
- A bug where the “AUTO” label was not displayed in the interface for aircraft mounted guns when the ballistic computer for air targets was enabled has been fixed.
- A bug where the amount of ammunition in the launchers of Multi-Vehicle SAM Systems was not displayed in the action panel in replays when observing the TADS vehicle has been fixed.
Graphics
- A bug where ammunition racks would disappear in the hangar and the detail of the ammunition itself would be reduced when NVIDIA Ansel was enabled has been fixed. (Report).
Customization
- KW I C 756 (r) (Germany) — location conditions for the standard camouflage have been adjusted from forest to desert.
- MiG-29N (Japan) — a description of the anniversary camouflage of the Royal Malaysian Air Force has been corrected. (Report).
- A bug that prevented the “Fireworks mortar” decoration from working when using it on Multi-Vehicle SAM Systems has been fixed. (Report).

No silicon not even a Universal? Is this 2022 or 2006?

Nice one. Probably, one of the best online games ever.
For those, who can't run War Thunder on Mac: the problem more in macOS, nor hardware part (but your Mac must be a good one; otherwise it might be buggy; or you will be able to play it on low settings)
The solution will be to install Windows 10 as the second OS through Boot Camp (quite easy) and that's it! Work amazing, performance much better than on native macOS. And you can switch between (but beware newest M1 Mac: Boot Camp won't work here)

Version: 2.3.0.110
The requirements marked in MU are incorrect: according to the original website, it needs at least 10.15 and recommends 10.16. Perhaps the people for whom it does not work, the problem comes from the fact that the application can be installed on systems where it does not work. This requirement is not always indicated correctly in the application package, and in many cases that happens: MU does not warn and updates it without actually being able to function correctly.

Don't waste your time with this app. I've had multiple issues trying to make it work on my high spec iMac. Security issues, sign in issues, password wrong issues..etc... I spent a good hour on trying too make it open and run on my iMac with zero success.
