In order to adjust and improve balance in battles, we have made a planned change of Battle Ratings for fleet and aviation - and in ground vehicles, we focused on a specific BR range from 7.0 to 9.7 - vehicles that are from the time when a qualitative transition has been made from one means and types of defense to other, more advanced ones. For example, ground vehicles abandoned homogeneous armor in favour of the active use of dynamic protection and with that, combined multi-defense armor. Regular kinetic ammunition has been replaced by HEAT-FS, fin-stabilized , and guided weaponry. Finally, laser rangefinders, stabilizers and thermal imagers have appeared.

Thanks to these changes, early era vehicles based on the principles of simple armor and simple sights will become even less common with vehicles more relevant to dynamic protection and advanced fire control s... Read more

We’d like to address an issue that has become increasingly prevalent in our community: the issue of bots that some of you encounter during battles, primarily due to their unnatural behavior.

Firstly, we want to express our sincere gratitude to all of you who have reported this problem and continue to do so. Your proactive participation is what makes our community strong and resilient. The recent surge in the number of bots operating in our game has been a concern for all of us and we’re working hard to tackle the problem.

Over the past few months, we have been conducting a comprehensive study to understand how these bots operate, what motivates their creators, a... Read more

Work to preserve fair play in War Thunder is carried out in several directions, amongst which is the fight against the automatization of gameplay. Such combatants stand out for their passive behavior and simply low efficiency. They let the whole team down.
