Patch notes for War Thunder version 2.59.0.28 appeared in the Steam announcements of the game on Sep 23, 2026. They said that, with the release of the Sky Odyssey major update, remote detonation was disabled for unguided aircraft rockets that did not have the feature in real life. The notes also listed fixes for the radar display failing, during launches of missiles with active radar homing seekers, to show the circle that indicates the need for target illumination until the seeker achieved lock-on, and for a bug that stopped the surrender mechanic from working after a landing on an enemy aircraft carrier.
