We are happy to inform you that in one of the future War Thunder updates a new playable nation will appear - Israel! Despite its youth, the Israeli armed forces are rightfully considered one of the most combat-ready armies in the world, and Israel's military forces are an interesting alloy of foreign vehicles with advanced domestic machines.

In the upcoming War Thunder update "Ground Breaking", two premium aircraft from the early access packs will be added to the Israeli aviation lineup. The owners of the packs will be the first to get access to the closed beta testing of the aviation tech tree of the new playable nation, that will begin in the next major update after the upcoming “Ground Breaking” update. Prior to Israeli aviation CBT, early access pack owners will be able to participate in aircraft random battles and prepare their crews!

The upcoming ‘Ground Breaking’ update brings three new locations for all types of War Thunder vehicles!

Aral Sea

The rapidly drying sea is both amazing and sad. The life of this small town on the shores of the Aral Sea was once linked with the sea, but now the desert sands have arrived. People left their homes. The seaport with cargo terminals, fish processing plants, bulk carriers and fishing vessels were abandoned and will never see a sea wave again. Here, on the sandy bottom of a dry sea and amongst the sand-covered ruins of a seaside city, War Thunder mixed battles will begin.

The new location “Aral Sea” will be waiting for players with the release of the upcoming update “Ground Breaking”!

Sadly, for this moment PSN users cannot obtain such decals. Such decals are connected to purchase via store.gaijin.net which is not available for PSN players, sorry

Yup, it was translation error. Already fixed, thanks!

Recently we shared our plans about changing the rules of storing certain items in the inventory with you, where all newly received universal back-ups, orders and wagers would have activation deadlines, as well as (for wagers) a limited validity period after activation. This included the intention of limiting the period during which early received items might be used.

In announcing these changes we didn’t want to deprive you of the accumulated items and thus ruin your experience in the game, on the contrary, we wanted such items to be used often in battles and to bring you more benefits. However we took your feedback and suggestions into account and will not apply the new mechanics to items where applicable, that you already have in your inventory. You will be able to use them whenever you want to.

The limitation of the activation time for newly obtained items will be implemented with the first battle pass season in ...

History

In the midst of the war, the American Navy was in dire need of fast and agile torpedo boats. The Elco shipyards, the main supplier of the US mosquito fleet, very quickly ceased to cope with the growing volume of orders, so the company management was obliged to transfer the documentation for the production of boats to two more shipyards - the Huckins Yacht Corporation from Jacksonville, Florida, and Higgins Industries from New Orleans. The 78 ft. boats at the Higgins Industries shipyards were built entirely of wood, which somewhat re...

What can we do now?

Interaction with the terrain and changing its shape is one of the main features of the upcoming "Ground Breaking" update. This is an additional element of interactivity that diversifies the gameplay in War Thunder tank battles. Soil, sand and snow are now not only authentically crushed under the tracks of tanks - you can dig out shelters, and bombs leave huge craters! Ramparts and craters will now create cover for vehicles and can seriously change the usual routes in War Thunder locations - both for you and the enemy team.

Ground vehicles and dozer blades

Many armies of the world make use of dozer blades on tanks. For example, in the Soviet army, from the T-72 onwards, equipment for self-entrenching was installed on all main battle tanks and some armored vehicles, and a corresponding standard appeared in the training of tank crews. ...

History

Work on a new Bundeswehr air-landing armored vehicle to replace the KraKa began in the early 1970’s. The vehicle was created bare bones with the initial possible weapon options, an automatic 20mm gun or HOT anti-tank missile launcher. A little later, the version with a TOW ATGM appeared, and in total it was supposed to develop ab...
