In the War Thunder “New Power” update you will meet new hangars for all vehicle types.
Let us take a closer look at them!

Ground vehicle hangar
War Thunder ground vehicles have moved from a tight repair workshop to a spacious military base located in a mountain valley. There is a lot of life here - mechanics have just finished work on preparing the vehicle for the battle, army trucks rush around elsewhere, free crews participate in training honing their shooting skills, overhead aircraft fly over.
