War Thunder 2.55.1.157 Patch Notes (9th June 2026)
A small but practical update lands today, smoothing out ground vehicle handling and fixing a voice-over mix-up.
Update 2.55.1.157 is live as of today, and while it's a modest patch, it tackles a couple of issues that'll improve the feel of ground combat. The big one here is a fix for unnatural tank shaking when driving across sandy surfaces, if you've been grinding desert maps and felt your tank bouncing around like it's on a pogo stick, that's getting smoothed out.
On the audio side, the developers fixed a voice-over swap where Elsa and Maria's lines were getting mixed up in the voice packs. It's a small thing, but audio bugs like that stand out fast when you're hearing the wrong character speak.
As always, Gaijin notes that these patch notes cover only the key changes, smaller tweaks and improvements may not make the list. The studio prioritizes fixes based on community reports and severity, so game-breaking issues get handled first. Check the full notes below for any other adjustments.

Changes reflected in patch notes are formed by taking reactions and requests of the community from the bug reporting service, forums and other official platforms into account. Bug fixes and changes are implemented in order of importance, for example a game-breaking bug will be worked on and implemented sooner.
