We’re excited to bring you the first screenshots of two new locations that will be arriving to War Thunder in the next major update: “Rocky Pillars” for aviation, and “Test Site — 2271” for mixed battles!

“Rocky Pillars”


We created the Rocky Pillars map based on the mainland mountain landscapes of Southeast Asia. The weathering on the sandstone and limestone makes rock formations on this map certainly look rather interesting.
