The first US destroyer of the Cold War era featuring auto-loading 127mm guns!

In War Thunder, USS Mitscher will be a new destroyer arriving in the mid ranks of the American naval forces with the release of the upcoming major update. Expanding the American destroyer lineup into the Cold War era, USS Mitscher brings with it several distinct new features not necessarily found on older designs and in today’s devblog, you’ll find out all about it. Let’s get started!

USS Mitscher’s primary armament consists of two single 5’’ (127 mm) cannons. Being a staple primary gun caliber found on most WWII era U.S. destroyers, some captains may initially become concerned at the number of guns fitted to the ship. However, looks can be deceiving and that’s certainly the case with this warship. Despite only possessi... Read more

The LVT-4/40 is a later development of the well-known American WWII amphibious tank in service with the French army. After WWII, French engineers modified the vehicle and outfitted some units with the Bofors 40mm anti-air cannon in an effort to increase its effectiveness against ground targets. This unique vehicle awaits tankers as one of the main prizes of the upcoming new season of War Thunder Battle Pass!

The LVT and its variants can be found in several research trees in the game, making it a familiar vehicle to many War Thunder tankers. This unique French modification of the renowned American amphibious tank combines the vehicle’s existing excellent combat capabilities with the deadly 40mm Bofors L/60 gun, feared by both aviators and tankers alike for its high rate of fire and ballistic properties.

Greetings! On behalf of the development team I would like to explain in detail the reasons for the planned changes of the inventory items, such as the activation periods for wagers, orders, and universal backups.

The changes were planned to achieve three main goals: firstly, to increase their value to players and to motivate them to use the items more widely; secondly, to clear the user interface and player inventory from unnecessary and unused items; and thirdly, to decrease the load on the servers that deal with user profiles, since the excessive collecting of unused items leads to a constant increase in required capacity without any benefit or sense.

At the same time, we did have a discussion within W...

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 pr... Read more

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 homesю 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.

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.

PT-658, one of only two currently fully operational PT series boats, comes to War Thunder as a new season Battle Pass vehicle!

The Higgins-built 78ft. boats of the 200 series are already familiar to War Thunder coastal fleet enthusiasts. These are fairly fast and well-armed boats with a wooden hull and a small crew. Boats are unable to provide any protection to the crew and internal modules even from machine gun fire, so they find their use in quickly capturing points and ambushes among islands and rocks.

The PT-658 boat in our game will be one of the prizes for the participants of the new Battle Pass season, which will soon start in War Thunder. The premium PT-658 fully inherits the advantages and disadvantages of the series. The boat is well-armed: a 40mm Bofors at the stern, a 37mm autocannon at ... Read more

In the upcoming “Ground Breaking” update we will present three vehicles from the long anticipated Wiesel series. What they lack in size, they make up for in guns!

In the new major update "Ground Breaking" we will present three versions of armored vehicles based on the Wiesel chassis. All three are destined to be popular: they are small, fast and dangerous. Any hit taken is almost certain death, every battle introduces a bucket of adrenaline into your veins! Get ready for the invasion of the mean German "c*ckroaches"!

The basic version of the vehicle with a 20mm Rheinmetall 202/20 cannon. The gun is mounted on a remote mount, it has a very good traverse speed and excellent targeting angles.
