Update 1.65 "Way Of The Samurai"
Dear players! We are releasing the long anticipated 1.65 major update with which our game has also released and so are happy to introduce “Way of the Samurai”! While your launcher is downloading files and our most impatient players have not yet opened the full list of changes, we would like to show you the most interesting features of the update.
New Locations
Pilots and tankers will get new experiences as they play on the new locations “38th Parallel” and “Abandoned factory” whilst driving or flying new and updated vehicles!

“38th Parallel” | “Abandoned factory” |
Aircraft
A big change for aviation - we have created 3D cockpits for all aircraft in the game - including attackers and bombers.
New game mechanics: Hydropneumatic suspension
Behind a complex definition, hides a very useful combat ability to change the angle of the tank’s hull in all directions or the ability to ‘hunker down’ the vehicle, seriously reducing its height. Of course, only on vehicles that use this type of suspension.
Japanese ground forces
And of course the main heroes of this update - the Japanese tanks! Armoured vehicles of the Land of the rising sun have arrived! If you want to be the first to try them - check the news about the beginning of testing and how to join the testers team.

as usual the addition of new units (nations) just shows how great the negative impact on balance is, which this ridiculous unfair design of modules and crew skills creates ... its just painful to play against halfway trained crews and units maxed out on modules in everything newly added/ungrinded, same as it is boring and idiotic to jump back into maxed out units and then just having senseless seal clubbing. fair and balanced battles ... not in War Thunder, only either boring or frustrating
YES! I've been waiting Japanese tanks for so long! also the level of detail you guys put into this game is quite impressive.
The changes to bombers is game breaking for me...I spent years trying to get good at bombing and now it changes again.:( I just bought some GEs too.
Can you add Ho-ri tank destroyer in Japan Tech tree even its only appear in blueprint?, because the imperial japanese need more ground force, and i want to say THANK YOU FOR ANYTHING IN THIS UPDATE
