Found this statement from War Thunder CEO Anton Yudintsev on reddit.

Posted 7 hours ago:
"Only few major Oculus bugs left in tracker. Hope to iron Oculus support this week."

This is great news. The one I've been waiting for since May 2015 ( I missed the update at the end of the year that got it working again lol).

Last statement I've seen from Anton was 4 days ago.

"We are late mainly due to cohesion of VR changes and other significant refactor of UI code..."

Not updates on the update yet though.

Meanwhile here's a pretty cool vid to make the wait even more frustrating 🙂

just had a look on the forums and its done

(now, by selecting Oculus mode and using "Work in Developpement", it works!)
 
The first impressions are excellent, even in the low res of my DK2 I was able to make middle to very good performance during combat, both in tank and planes. 
 
Menus:
- menus are perfectly readable
 
Tank:
- ingame, added map at right of tank, damages at left is good idea, the options at low center are more problematic (could they be down the tank damage picture?) 
- labels on players are OP
- the gestion of view / mouse for canon / 2d when aiming are both realistics and usable. Binoculars view could be displayed in 3d.
- the position of view (sim mode) could be lower of 10-20cm
 
Plane:
- same excellent feeling like anterior rift implementation
- no more positionnal tracking!! (for the moment...)
- problem of reflector gunsight (Revi system), actually doesn't work as it should
 
Performance:
Buttersmooth on my config (mid to high settings + DK2 + msi Laptop with 980M / i7)
 
All in all, it's a true pleasure to return to War Thunder in VR, thanks Gaijin!!

Wait, what? No positional tracking? Then it's not done yet.
