The Beaufighter Mk I (40-mm) was an experimental version of the well-known British Beaufighter heavy fighter, serving as a testbed for the newly developed 40mm aircraft cannons in the early 1940’s.

This unique vehicle awaits pilots as one of the main prizes in the upcoming new season of War Thunder Battle Pass!

The Beaufighter is a heavy fighter known and loved by British pilots most notably for its extremely heavy armament and its good looks, present even in early modifications. The Beaufighter Mk I (40-mm) is an early prototype of the heavy fighter, which instead of entering regular service, continued being used as a testbed by engineers. This specific version is fitted with a pair of 40mm autocannons, capable of dealing some truly devastating damage, even to heavily armoured ground unit... Read more

The Ystervark is a light South African mobile anti-air unit, developed during the mid 1980’s as a result of changing military doctrine.

In War Thunder, the Ystervark will be a new light SPAAG unit awaiting all tankers at rank III of the British ground forces tree in the next major update coming soon to the game. At first glance, the Ystervark boasts a rather unimpressive arsenal: just a single 20mm GAI C01 autocannon, fitted to a fully rotating open turret on the back of the vehicle’s loading area. However, being a variant of the Oerlikon KAD cannon, already present on some vehicles in the game such as the R3 T20, the Ystervark’s 20mm cannon also has a very impressive rate of fire and superb ballistic properties. As such, these qualities make the gun very pleasant to operate and provided armour-piercing ammu... Read more

A surprising return of the good old PT-76-57 with an automatic 57mm cannon and a mechanized ammo rack!

The PT-76-57 is one of the main prizes in the new Battle Pass season, launching in War Thunder in the coming days. This is a completely new role for the good old PT-76B, which, thanks to a new automatic cannon and an improved engine, turns from timid scout into arrogant raider. The new role, of course, is based on its cannon - an automatic AU-220 57mm gun, created around the S-60 gun, known to you from the ZSU-57-2 double-barreled SPAAG. The choice of shells is the same: HE shells for aviation, and capped chamber rounds with a penetration of up to 150mm for everything else. An interesting feature of the PT-76-57 is the mechanized ammo rack for 20 rounds that provides a fire rate of up to 120 rounds per minute! Nee... Read more

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...
