Dear players!
The event, which we started for the 1st of April has come to an end, but our work on War Thunder continues.
We thank you for your feedback, it was very nice to read them!
This testing was successful in the first place because many of the mechanics in War Thunder have already been implemented before: X-Ray view, ATGMs, different types of shells, their distribution in the vehicle etc. War Thunder was ready for modern vehicles. New mechanics, which were implemented specially for the event will be tested for main game modes in War Thunder.
Implementation of such a mission was only possible with support, which you give us every day. Thanks to all the hundreds and thousands of people that helped us to test IXth rank. It was an absolute record among all of our 1st of April events by the number of players alone.
See you on the battlefield!
The War Thunder Team

What does everyone want, war thunder 2 or tier IX war thunder?
they should make 2 different tech trees, one for wwII one for modern era, just like how there are reserve tier WW2 tanks there should be reserve tier modern tanks so people who don't really like the grind to tier 5 will have a choice to play modern tanks, but this might bring a new problem, people might skip out on ww2 and jump straight into modern tanks, so im waiting to see how you compensate for this. probably you can give a player reserve tier modern tanks when they reach a certain tier?
Can we still use these vehicles in some sort of gamemode?
Really hope you guys capitalize on this. AW just basically killed itself and there's a lot of players looking for a better alternative, and I guarantee you guys could supplant it and gain even more loyal players. I just hope modern jet aircraft are included with this!
You guys need more credit where it's due, you have one of the most friendly community's among games, best April fools jokes, and some of the best ideas for your game, you guys really have devoted your time into this and if I knew how to set up a fundraising account for you and this game you put so much effort in, I would. We, the community owe you a huge thanks for listening, meming, and finally bringing what seemed impossible to life, so I give my personal thanks -Ryan M
Hey gaijin. I just wanted to let you guys know that im super exited for rank 9. The only problem is that I really love your game, but I don't have the time to grind for hours to get to rank 9 because of school and I can't pay for premium, also, because of school :(. So what i want to propose is that perhaps you make it a separate tech tree and/or put it behind a relatively small pay wall, maybe 20 or 30 dollars so that those of us without a lot of money and time can play our favorite game.
when are ships coming out
I was concerned about modern vehicles at first. However having thought it over I think modern TANKS and choppers would work. I think the best way to implement them would be to make a fourth vehicle tree; so have aviation, army, navy, and then modern vehicles in is own arcade, realistic, and simulator game modes. The modern tree consisting of mbts, afvs, wheeled tds, choppers, and maybe spaa.
So does a new player get access to the mbt's straight away seeing that its a new category or do they have too climb there way through tier 1, 2, 4 and 5 of the army to access it?
iDeViL320, I'm just a player so I have no say in what gaijin does, but since there are many differences between the modern vehicles and the tanks we have now in gameplay terms, I would just have the new category being from 1.0-9.0 (since they'd never see the tanks we already have) so new players would be able to start them right from the get go, this would also make grinding the tech trees easier.

Was extremely refreshing to play this event, bravo to all of the War Thunder team who made it happen
