In the upcoming major update, we’re going to be introducing a new rank for Bluewater ships: rank VI!

We’ve got some exciting news for you: rank VI Bluewater ships will come to the game in the next major update! The addition of this new rank will open the door to more powerful ships that you have been asking for. The addition of rank VI means that rank V can be decompressed — which will help you speed up the research towards rank VI!

For this momentous occasion, we’re also announcing the pre-order of rank V premium battleships, which will help you to significantly speed up the research progress of any ship in Bluewater research trees that have them. These almighty ships will become available with the release of the next major update, and pre-order packs will also come with special bonuses for their owners!

We’re excited to bring you the first screenshots of two new locations that will be arriving to War Thunder in the next major update: “Rocky Pillars” for aviation, and “Test Site — 2271” for mixed battles!

“Rocky Pillars”


We created the Rocky Pillars map based on the mainland mountain landscapes of Southeast Asia. The weathering on the sandstone and limestone makes rock formations on this map certainly look rather interesting. Soon, pilots will be flying over the stone pillars and lush green cliffs where engines will roar, machine guns will go rat-tat-tat and pew pew, and the fiery wrecks of destroyed aircraft will burn!
