Your crews have nothing to do between battles and your technicians just dawdle around and chatter in the hangar? Get them into the gym!

Soon, the crews and the hangar tech guys will be able to take care of their health, and at the same time achieve for you unique game content - click on the characters in the hangar and send any of them for training!

You have probably already heard about a top secret base built in the USSR in late 1950s and known as Facility 3826. They have found many uses - domestic and professional. But thanks to the “Atomic Heart” project, robots now have decent battle abilities and battle vehicles have a place in War Thunder, of course.



We are introducing a separate lineup of secret Soviet robots created in collaboration with Atomic Heart! Here you will find the most diverse vehicles. For example, MA-9 Belyash welding robot inspired by chimpanzees which can easily climb even on vertical surfaces and this makes it a perfect scout.

On April 1st, 1918 the Royal Air Force was founded, and on the same date in 1924 — the Fleet Air Arm of the Royal Navy. Around that time HMS Hermes, the first purpose built aircraft carrier, was commissioned.

Both the Royal Air Force and the Fleet Air Arm of the Royal Navy proved instrumental in 1940, during the Battle for Britain, when they managed to hold against the might of the entire Luftwaffe and prevent invasion by Germany.

From March 30th (13:00 GMT) until April 3rd (7:00 GMT)

Play 3 battles using British aircraft (rank III or higher, with an activity of not less than 70%) to receive the “Royal Air Force Day" decal.

The Italian Royal Army founded its air arm back in 1884, but a separate Air Force was founded on March 28th, 1923 — precisely 100 years ago. In the 1930s it participated in military operations in Ethiopia and Spain, in the 1940s it fought in WWII as a part of Axis powers (and then partially for Allies), and in 1990 it took part in the Gulf War in an international coalition.
