Welcome to a new location for naval battles - "Aleutian Islands", that we plan to add to the game with the release of the War Thunder: Raining Fire

The volcanic Aleutian Islands archipelago, located between Alaska and Kamchatka, became the target of Japan's diversionary operation to capture Midway during World War II. It is here, with the release of the Raining Fire update, battles between naval vessels and aircraft of War Thunder will begin. The harsh northern climate has made this archipelago almost lifeless with only the sea, rocks and rare vegetation. Amongst this grim beauty you will find a small naval base with a maintenance dock, a lighthouse and a few rare buildings.

The CM25 is a tank hunter modification of the CM21 - a Taiwanese APC based on the widespread American M113. Coming as part of the upcoming update, the CM25 will soon await all seasoned tank commanders as the new top tank destroyer of the Chinese ground forces tree!

In War Thunder, the CM25 will be the new top tank destroyer arriving to the Chinese ground forces tree with the next major update.

120mm naval guns on the chassis of Japanese Chi-Ha tanks were supposed to hit the landing American troops with direct fire. The mobile coastal artillery was to be the last-chance weapon to save Japan from the Allied invasion.

The Chi-Ha Long Gun will appear in our game with the release of the War Thunder: “Raining Fire” update, the self-propelled gun will join the ranks of rank I vehicles in the Japanese ground forces research tree. Vehicles of this class are widely represented in the game and have their fans. The advantages of such vehicles are huge firepower and acceptable mobility, the disadvantages are low protection and rather high visibility.

The Chi-Ha Long Gun is a classic of the "glass cannon". The absence of a turret and the high seating position of the gun operators makes the cre... Read more

The upcoming War Thunder update will see three new modifications of the legendary Russian tank being added to the game – the 1989 T-72B build, the 2011 T-72B3 and the latest 2016 T-72B3 build!

War Thunder tank commanders should by now be well familiar with the Soviet T-72, which was the most-produced tank in the second half of the 20th century. The present modifications; the T-72A and the T-72B perform rather well in rank VI battles but struggle quite a bit against the top-tier Western tanks. This can be explained for a number of reasons: their average mobility, lack of modern ERA and fire control systems, and insufficient destructive power of the shells. Fans of the Soviet/Russian armoured vehicle tech tree had much to think about, mainly because of an incredibly wide range of available T-72 modifications, both developed ... Read more
