The Swedish Home Guard was founded on May 29th, 1940, as World War II was heating up. Sweden managed to remain neutral, so the Home Guard never participated in battles. Today 20 000 people are still ready to join the ranks by the Command’s decree — and sometimes help out with rescue missions and police work.

From May 26th (12:00 GMT) until May 30th (12:00 GMT), play 3 battles using Swedish vehicles (rank III or higher, with an activity of not less than 70%) to receive the ““Emblem of the National Home Guard Combat School”” decal.

The next major update for War Thunder — 'La Royale'!

We invite youtubers and streamers to cooperate and offer support depending on the quantity and popularity of your content. More information: https://warthunder.com/en/media/partnership

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. As experienced pilots know, you may already set the fuse delay on conventional bombs, which allows pilots to get out of the danger zone of fragmentation spray and the blast wave while dive bombing or performing tree-top bomb att...
