Dear players,

We heard your recent feedback on the changes planned to the economy of War Thunder and, as you already know, have decided to cancel them. This has been our first step in addressing your concerns, and it will not be the last.

We regret that our actions to balance the economy are often poorly explained and not transparent to you. In the future, we will try our best to talk about the changes we plan to do earlier, in more detail and more clearly, as well as listen to the feedback that you offer more carefully.

We are going to revise the economy in a dedicated update planned for mid to late summer (this will be a huge amount of work). In order for your feedback to be taken into account, please provide it using the ... Read more

Hello! Today we will tell you about a new type of weapon that will appear in the game in the next major War Thunder update!



With the further development of more effective air defense systems, the only safe window for delivering bombs became ultra-low altitude, where aircraft remained outside of the detection zone of anti-aircraft radars. However, tree-top bombing is risky due to the chances of hitting the carrier aircraft with fragments of its own bombs. This is how r------ded bombs first appeared - the bombs are equipped with an aerodynamic brake, or chute, to provide a low-speed fall.

r------ded bombs will appear in our game as part of the upcoming major War Thunder update... Read more
