Hello! Today we will tell you about a new type of weapon that will appear in the game in the next major War Thunder update!



With the further development of more effective air defense systems, the only safe window for delivering bombs became ultra-low altitude, where aircraft remained outside of the detection zone of anti-aircraft radars. However, tree-top bombing is risky due to the chances of hitting the carrier aircraft with fragments of its own bombs. This is how r------ded bombs first appeared - the bombs are equipped with an aerodynamic brake, or chute, to provide a low-speed fall.

r------ded bombs will appear in our game as part of the upcoming major War Thunder update... Read more

The result of the transition to the vehicle rank based economy We have noticed that there is a lack of understanding of the principles of the vehicle rank based economy, such as the differences from the previous system and the benefits achieved. First of all, we would like to note that in the vehicle rank based economy, the same prices and reward multipliers are not set for different vehicles of the same rank, as these are not target parameters, but calculated parameters. These calculated parameters still use some statistical values for calculations. The target parameters in the economy (old and new) are earnings per unit time (from which the reward multiplier will be calculated) and profit/loss per unit time (from which the repair cost will be calculated). Since both targets are given to a unit of time - it becomes clear that to calcula... Read more
