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.

Awesomeness!
Also when do we get French forces?
All answers (1)Kasukaru, French forces are pretty small you know. I dont think that you can fill a tech tree with it
Good job guys, this is sure to be fun once I get home.
1.65 release today and you are not in home? Emperor is not pleased. You disappointed him, young Samurai :(
You guys have really outdone yourselves with this patch.
And it's not our last word! :)
When is AAA going to be fixed so that it isn't more efficient than a player that plays for a pro team?
Mk 22 doesn't have its 150oct fuel yet
Gaijin is honourable!!
Arigato!
Thanks Gaijin!
thanks gaijin
