Check more details on our website!

What you and everyone else should do is exactly the same as we said yesterday. Wait for official news.

Right now everyone is just speculating and we cannot give the full official info yet before the news article is published.

As I have already said though, there will Indeed still be elements for free without the need to purchase anything. However those that want more can get more if they want to purchase.

Right now, the best thing to do is wait. Everyone else can only offer you speculation and most of it wrong.

We have not made any offical announcements yet, so discussions of this kind without all the facts are going to lead to a lot of assumptions and guesses.

Please wait for offical news and if you want to discuss it for now, please do so in the rumour topic:

It wasn't pushed back for a month at all. A "trend" is people looking backwards at release dates and comparing them to this update. This update is unlike any other and represents the move to a new game version entirely (2.X.XX.X). Because a bunch of previous years had one "trend" does not mean its set in stone and always will be that way.

You are watching The Shooting Range – a weekly show for all tankers, airmen and Captains in War Thunder.

In this episode:

Pages of history: the Elusive Aircraft Carrier


Tips & tricks... in Air Assault


... and Metal Beasts: Patton 2 with an Italian Flavour

The War Thunder team

Backups are not going anywhere. But if you want to grab some now and have a fresh start in the new system. Feel free.

Feedback is taken into account just the same here. This patch was built around a lot of things people had been requesting for quite some time and there have actually been quite a few changes since the dev server based around that feedback that was presented during them as well as the bug reported within them also being fixed.

It has no impact on progression at all outside of what the Warbonds store currently offers anyone anyway.

Again, it has no impact or relevance to the regular seasonal events. Its entirely separate.

No need to unless you really want something. Warbonds will still be relevant.

Premium account offers other bonuses beyond just RP boosts. On top of this, we also have boosters which are already given out as rewards for daily logins and events, that dont require a premium account at all and can be used by anyone. The two are separate and distinct things.

You are comparing battle passes that reward short term XP boosts to a premium account subscription in War Thunder.

There is no Battle pass that includes a premium account subscription.

We have not made an announcement yet and have not introduced anything at all.

Battle passes offering short term / one time use XP boosts and fast track items is not the same as premium account subscriptions.

Its not coming today. Its the weekend.

Code has to be added as the patch is build up and so our internal testers can test on all circuits.

Of course people will find things, the difference being, most people are more than aware that its best to wait for offical announcements before jumping to conclusions.

The games your referring to in that case are also paid games like Call of Duty that have up front payments or other monetary charges. Some games have just battle passes, others premium accounts. There is no game that has both in one subscription and if there is, it would be considerably more more expensive than ours is.

No free to play game includes a paid battle pass with its premium account subscription (unless im mistaken).

If you pay for premium time, nothing is subtracted from the benefits and bonuses that offers you and will continue to offer you. Whats being introduced is entirely new, separate and nothing to do with premium time at all. So the connection you are trying to make does not exist.

Nothing has been introduced at all on the live server and nothing has even been announced yet.

Right now people are jumping to conclusions based on lines of code alone. So no, we are not reworking anything at all for the time being.

Wait for an official announcement.

You dont have to subscribe to anything at all here.

As I said before, this is taking away nothing at all from the game, gameplay, existing events, existing features or anything from a free aspect.

What people often dont understand is, F2P games cannot just add some premiums + prem time and then call it done and add nothing new from a premium content perspective. More has to be added over time as any free-to-play game does. Thats precisely what funds major and minor updates as well as all the vehicles, content and everything else.

There will be free elements and there will also be elements in the paid battle pass.

After all we are a free-to-play game with over 1500+ vehicles accessible for free.

The bottom line is, there has to be paid content, but there will always be an overwhelming majority of free content in this game. Other wise it stops being a free-to-play game and doesn't exist at all.
