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. In closed hangars vehicles from your collection wait their turn. On the flatbed of a military transporter an armoured vehicle that has just arrived at the location waits for you to click on it to learn more about the novelty.

HMS Dreadnought was a British battleship from the early 1900’s that revolutionized warship design with its many innovations, setting a standard for a whole generation of warships to come. Soon, this naval legend will be joining the ranks of the British naval tree as one of the first battleships to come to War Thunder as part of the “New Power” major update!

HMS Dreadnought will not just be one of the first battleships to join the ranks of the Royal Navy, but also among the first vessels of this type to arrive in War Thunder. With its powerful guns, heavy armour and steadfast mobility, HMS Dreadnought represents everything battleships are known and respected for and, just like its real-world counterpart, signals the start of a new era for War Thunder’s naval forces!

In the War Thunder “New Power” update, we are dividing warships from all playable nations into two separate tech trees with traditional vertical research - blue-water(larger ships) and coastal fleets(smaller vessels).
Torpedo boats, gunboats, and frigates will be upgraded in their own tree, while enthusiasts of larger ship classes will be able to start research immediately from reserve destroyers to heavier ship classes. In this case, ships of all classes will still meet together in battles, the ships you have already researched will not need to be researched again, and the crews will be able to master any types of ships without restrictions.



The division in the fleet tech trees requires changes in the cost of researching, buying and repairing ships from different classes. For details on these changes, see ... Read more
