The War Thunder Team

The “Red Skies” update is almost here! While the development team is finishing work on the update, we are describing another useful game mechanic coming to War Thunder tank battles in the upcoming “Red Skies” release.

Now light tanks and squadmates can help extinguish fires. The new mechanic works in a similar way as repair assistance: you need to drive up to a burning vehicle, wait for the indicator of assistance for firefighting, and after holding the help button, the ally will stop burning. In this case, one kit of fire-fighting equipment on the helper tank will be d

With the release of the upcoming War Thunder update Red Skies, we are introducing a new top rank VII for aviation to group up the more advanced aircraft in the game, both new and already existing in the game. We are also expanding the battle ratings to 11.0 for this branch. These changes will make top ranking battles more balanced, and will allow us to add new aircraft with superior fight and combat characteristics.

In order to make ground battles in the game more authentic and atmospheric, we plan to transfer some of the functions that are now implemented in ground vehicle binocul
