History
Immediately after the end of World War II, Czechoslovakia began to form its own air force. Due to a shortage of aircraft in their possession at the time, Czechoslovakia decided to utilize the spare parts that remained after the war to initiate production on a series of Bf 109 G-10 fighters. The main production issue was caused by the power plant - the original German production run of the DB 605 engine was long over, and...

Today we would like to tell you about the new effects of the influence of wind in the game environment of War Thunder - smoke, fire, sparks and dust.
The wind has already blown in locations of War Thunder, but before the release of the Winged Lions update, it could only be seen on the grass and on the waves. Now everything will be different! All particle effects, such as fires and smoke, dust from ground vehicles and aircraft engines, gun shots, explosions and sparks - all these effects will now be affected by the wind.
The wind in the game depends on the weather settings. The influence of wind effects is most noticeable during storms, but such weather is rare in War Thunder, and we are looking for a middle ground between a comfortable weather for playing and the beauty of the effects.
We are currently tweaking the weather settings to make the new wi...

Scout aircraft in naval battles. The ability to launch a scout aircraft from the ship’s catapult (if it has one) has been added to naval battles. It is necessary to open and install the appropriate modification beforehand. After the start of the battle, the launch of the aircraft becomes available after a specific time. To launch, activate the catapult (default "U"), point it outboard and launch the aircraft (default "U"). During flight, you can switch between the aircraft and the ship. As long as the player controls the aircraft the ship will remain on the course it was on at the time of launch. The ship will fire in accordance with the set shooter AI mode. If the ship is destroyed while controlling the aircraft the flight will end after a while. In addition to aerial fighting, scouting aircraft can:
Capture points
Drop bombs
Deploy a smoke screen at altitudes of up to 50m
Perform long-range scouting

Together with the legendary German battlecruiser, we introduce player-controlled reconnaissance aircraft in War Thunder naval battles!
Scharnhorst, Germany. Rank V
History
The battleship (or, according to another classification, the battlecruiser) Scharnhorst was the lead ship of the Kriegsmarine battleship series, built at the Wilhelmshaven shipyard and commissioned on January 7th, 1939. Almost immediately after entering service and until the very last day of her combat career, Scharnhorst took an active part in the Kriegmarine combat operations. The battleship was baptized by fire during a sabotage operation near Iceland, where the British Navy's auxiliary ship HMS Rawalpindi, adapted for military operations from an ocean liner, was sunk by her fire.

War Thunder is MMO. Not a tabeltop game for friends.
Here, majority of players wants to play best and strongest side. They are not interested that they would be able to spawn in T-34 (1942) two or three times, when they can switch side and play as Tiger.
We tried different approaches for years, and as said in Q&A, even when statistically we manage to achieve fair and balanced environment for both sides, one was always upset and feel "cheated". Because that T-34 needs to die few times, person who played it, felt like he have no chances.
Sadly something, that can be explained to friends before few hours session, is hard to explain to someone, who simply want to sit down and play for few minutes.
TL;DR something that fits for complicated and longer sessions, do not fits to dynamic, online game.
Battle Rating changes have been implemented (open the full table).
We raise the BR bar to 11.3 for the extremely effective MiG-23MLD and F-4EJ Kai aircraft to avoid or reduce the possibility of encountering aircraft of the lower BRs.
We also are considering a BR rise to 11.3 for certain combat helicopters, such as the Ka-52, Mi-28NM, and EC-665 Tiger UHT to exclude them from BR 10.0 battles.
