We would like to remind you that we are very carefully monitoring compliance not only with the rules of fair play, but also with the user agreement, which prohibits the purposeful use of exploits and bugs to the detriment of other players.

Some time ago a group of players discovered a bug the use of which was only possible deliberately and broke the battle for all participants. These players not only failed to report the bug, but purposefully caused several game sessions to crash showing, in our opinion, a gross disrespect for all War Thunder players.

Hello everyone! Today we would like to talk about changes that we plan for the premium aircraft of the Vautour series in the French tech tree, as well as the versions of this jet bomber for the Israeli air force, which will be tested in the Winged Lions update.

Vautour IIA

In the Winged Lions update, the premium Vautour IIA IDF/AF will be hidden in the French air force tech tree for players who do not already own this aircraft. All Vautour IIA IDF/AF owners will, of course, keep the aircraft in their hangars. If you were planning to purchase this particular version for the French Air Forces, we advise you to do it as soon as possible, since the update is almost ready for release.

In the Israeli Air Force lineup, a researchable version of the Vautour IIA will be added, which, ...

The Kfir C.7 was an Israeli fighter-bomber, a descendant of the well-known French Mirage fighter and equipped with the powerful J79 turbojet engine.

Kfir C.7, jet fighter, Israel, rank VII

During WW2, self-propelled guns were a force to be reckoned with, supporting the advance of allied troops and fighting enemy armour. A run in with a German Jagdpanther or an American M36 meant that you were in deep, deep trouble, even if you were using a very well-protected vehicle.

Today we’re going to talk about the best SPGs of that period. No ATGMs, recoilless rifles or computerized fire control systems. Just some tough armour and powerful guns… the true classics of War Thunder. Let’s go!

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/

The hallmark of late Soviet self-propelled artillery, the 2S3M Akatsiya SPG, arrives in the game with the upcoming Winged Lions update!

2S3M, self-propelled gun, USSR, rank IV.

Features:

Powerful 152 mm howitzer cannon

History

After the end of World War II, the Soviet OKB-9 design bureau began work on creating a new weapon to replace the ML-20 towed howitzers and self-propelled guns adapted to use them. The new gun itself was ready by the mid-50s under the D-20 index, but the development of a new SPG began only after a government decree of 1967. The Transmash design bureau proposed a chassis based on its experimental sel...

Type 10, main battle tank, Japan. Rank VII

Features:

Automatic loader

History

The major goals in creating a new Japanese MBT were to increase all the primary tactical and technical characteristics, compared to the previous Type 90 design, while reducing the cost of production and the weight of the tank. The first prototype was ready by 2006, and in 2010 Mitsubishi Heavy Industries began serial production of the new Type 10 main battle tank. The engineers managed to create a vehicle that fully met the modern requirements ...

The history of the Israeli Air Force begins literally in the first days of the state's independence. The aviation of the young state of Israel was extremely diverse, and at the very beginning of its history, the Israeli Air Force was based not so much on the technical superiority of aircraft as on rich military experience and high morale of its pilots and mechanics - both Israelis and foreign volunteers. Czechoslovakian Messerschmitts with Jumo engines and domestically assembled Spitfires were the first planes to rise to defend Israel's skies from neighbors' aggression. After the end of the War of Independence, the structure and equipment of the Israeli Air Force continued to strengthen. In the early 1950s, the first jet aircraft appeared - the Meteor fighters received from the UK. A little later, the French Mirage III fighters we...

We are always trying to implement vehicles and weapons in the game as faithfully as possible and we also constantly refine and clarify the behavior of objects in the game, whether it is an aircraft or a shell. This time we have finalized the control mechanics of the SACLOS/MCLOS missiles to meet the higher requirements for reliability with the physical model of missile flight.

For missiles of this type we clarified the available load of the missile depending on the flight speed and air density, in addition the missile will lose speed more accurately during maneuvers. These changes will allow us to realize more accurately the damage zone of this type of missile in accordance with those of their real prototypes.

As a consequence to all this there will be a noticeable reduction in the capability of SACLOS SAMs to engage high speed targets with altitude or heading paramete...
