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[coub.com]. 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 depleted.

The new mechanic works for burning tanks that are not able to extinguish the fire on ... Read more

The T-80BVM will become the new top tier MBT in the heavy tanks branch of the Soviet tech tree with the release of the upcoming ‘Red Skies” update. The T-80BVM is in many ways similar to the T-80U - the cannon and machine guns, a similar hull upper plate structure, so it's much more interesting to talk about the differences - and there are many of them!



The main and most noticeable difference is the new explosive "Relikt" reactive armor. ERA blocks cover the turret, frontal and side projections of the hull. This is a further development of the already good "Kontakt V", which gives increased protection against shaped charge ammunition (including those with a tandem warhead), and also... Read more

A new naval location designed for dynamic firefights with the coastal fleet!
The ocean flooded cargo terminal, vehicle overpasses and the downtown of an Asian seaside metropolis. It is here, with the roar of engines and the clang of machine-gun belts, boats and patrol ships from the War Thunder coastal fleets will clash in battle! We present a new location for naval battles “Drowned City”, that will appear in the game with the release of the upcoming major update “Red Skies”!

We originally created this location specifically for the mosquito fleet of War Thunder - there are many shelters made from containers scattered by flooding, ship skeletons, heaps of garbage, road junctions and trees shrouded in sea mud. Aviation will maneuver between tall skyscrapers, looking for an obvious boat whilst hiding from anti-aircraft guns.

In the upcoming Red Skies update we are presenting a new location for War Thunder mixed battles that we are calling "Red Desert".



This is a sandstone plateau surrounded by the dunes of a great desert. A small river sources here to quickly dry up under the hot African sun. The life-giving moisture, however, is sufficient for several palm groves and majestic acacias. A small village is located In the centre of the oasis- a couple of dozen houses and a mosque.



This location was inspired from the views of North and Central Africa, a... Read more

8th of May 1945, Allied forces who fought during World War 2 celebrated “VE Day” or “Victory in Europe Day”. Major cities in Allied nations, as well as those cities in Western Europe that had formerly been occupied, rejoiced in the defeat of the Nazi war machine with the raising of flags and banners.

German forces lay down their arms and held their fire: In Prague, Germans surrendered to their Soviet counterparts, after the latter had lost more than 8,000 soldiers, and the Germans many more; in Copenhagen and Oslo; at Karlshorst, near Berlin; in northern Latvia; on the Channel Island of Sark — their surrender was complete with a final cease-fire, followed by more surrender documents that were signed in Berlin and East Germany.

From May 7th to 10th (02:00 GMT), fight in War Thunder and receive the “Weapon of Victory” decoratio... Read more

  • By popular request, War Thunder on Steam will now update via the Steam Client, rather than through the Gaijin launcher. Steam players will no longer be required to open the War Thunder launcher for the game to update.
Sound
  • Allied/enemy tank engines now have the same sound volume.
  • Sounds of shells and bullets passing by have been changed so that firing at the player’s vehicle is now more obvious.
  • The radius of registration of bullet/shell flight has been changed from 18 to 30 meters.
  • The volume of the sound informing the player that he has been detected by enemy radar has been increased.
  • A bug that caused sounds of allied/enemy aircraft firing might not be played has been fixed.
