War Thunder Update 3.61 Patch Notes

Update 3.61 has arrived for War Thunder, and here’s the full list of changes and fixes added with this patch.

This new update does a lot of bug fixes and it should be available on all platforms as of April 21st, 2021. The update is patch 1.61, but on PS5 it’s noted as version number 01.000.027. Both patches though should have the same function on all platforms.

Officially the patch is known as update 2.5.1.89 by Gaijin Entertainment. It does not appear as if this update gives the game any new content. That should happen in a future update.

Anyway, you can read the full patch notes posted down below.
