A reminder about the new bug reporting service. We already told you about it last time but we would like to remind you about it this time too. Now, our projects have a convenient service through which you can report bugs right in the game. If you come across a report with the same problem as yours, mark it with “I have the same problem!”. This way, frequently occuring bugs won’t go unnoticed.
https://community.gaijin.net/issues/p/warthunder
For now, the forum is also still available for bug reports but soon we intend fully switching to a new service for collecting bug reports. You can get to the service directly from the game by clicking: “Community → Report an issue”.

The Wehrmacht's offensive against the USSR was interrupted by numerous Soviet counter-offensive operations. One of the most notable was a liberation of the Kerch peninsula by the landing troops from the Black Sea Fleet. The following counter-offensive was expected to set Sevastopol and the whole Crimea free from the invaders, however it was bogged down and, after a series of defeats in May 1942, Soviet forces were thrown back from the peninsula.

Complete the battle task until 11:30 GMT on the 29th of December to get the reward!

Rewards Completing the “Battle of the Kerch Peninsula” task will bring you a battle trophy with one of the following rewards:

On the 20th of December 1941, a Chinese air force unit of volunteers from the United States under the informal designation "Flying Tigers" received its first baptism of fire. The “Tigers” had to repel an attack of Japanese bombers flying from the south towards the Burma road, which was of strategic importance for supply delivery to China.
In this raid, the fighter group opened its own battle count and the Japanese were unable to deliver their bombs to their target, instead, turning and fleeing whilst losing four aircraft.
Feel like one of the legendary squadron pilots in the P-40 series fighter!

History [expand]The Su-22M3 is one of the variants of the Su-17 strike aircraft series designed for export.

It was assumed that the engine, familiar to foreign operators, would simplify the service and operation of the aircraft. Unlike the earlier simplified commercial versions, the Su-22M3 ... Read more

Check out the early access packs available for the Israeli ground forces CBT that starts in the next major update after “Winged Lions”!

M-51 The M-51 will be a premium rank IV tank and one of the first representatives of a separate tech tree of the Israeli armored vehicles. The M-51 hull was borrowed from the American Sherman tank, so at rank IV the tank lacks armor protection, but the M-51 is able to withstand the hits from automatic guns of ground vehicles, aircraft cannons and is relatively well protected from the explosions of small and medium bombs.
