80 years ago, from June until October of 1940, probably the most famous aerial battles in history took place known as the Battle of Britain. The Royal Air Force claimed victory in the skies, holding back the German Luftwaffe and preventing a naval invasion by denying air superiority over the Luftwaffe. Months of huge aerial engagements, intense dogfighting and fierce clashes forever sealed the event as a significant chapter in the second world war.

Brave contributions from all over the world, including most famously Polish and Czech pilots joined the fight to take on an overwhelming force that had swept through most of Europe and surrounded Great Britain.

Flight model changes:

• Ta-152H-1 — wing profile has been recalculated to a “thinner” value , allowing delay in shock-stalling at high altitudes and speeds. Landing with flaps has become easier with minimum fuel. A bug causing motor overspeed at high altitudes has been fixed.
  
• I-225 — shock-stalling momentum has been delayed for thinner profiles (i.e. the rudder is more effective at high altitude and speeds).
  
• F4E, EJ — according to the operation's manual, the speed has been specified (increased) at altitudes below 9,000 meters.
  
• F4U-1c/d — an engine bug causing insufficient thrust has been fixed.
  
• FW-190 (all series) - a bug has been fixed where the aircraft is unable to achieve overload over 6G at high speed with minimum fuel load.

Hello!

In addition to new vehicles, a new location and numerous fixes and improvements, in the War Thunder: Raining Fire update we are introducing “volumetric” shells - a very important feature for all game modes. Previously, shells in our game did not have their own volume. In fact, each projectile fired was a material point that reacted with the ballistics of its real life prototype, and upon contact with the enemy, a... Read more

The Peac*ck-class, was a class of five corvettes built for the Royal Navy in the mid 1980’s, specifically with the purpose of serving in the Hong Kong region. Soon, British captains in War Thunder will have the opportunity to stand behind the helm of this unique warship arriving with the “Raining Fire!” major update!

In War Thunder, the Peac*ck corvette will be a new vessel awaiting all captains at rank II of the British naval tree in the upcoming update. Staying true to the British “slow and steady” approach, the Peac*ck corvette offers its aspiring captains a much different experience than most other vessels found at the second rank of the British naval tree.

Beginning with the Peac*ck’s firepower; unlike most other vessels at the lower ranks which captains may have already become familiar with, P... Read more
