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

it was very fun, i hope that rank 9 will be added to warthunder best april fools yet. i look forward to see what you do next year.
i have tears now... in the very first of many games.. a game with the absolute whole collection of post war and Cold war era vehicles will rise.. Imagine all the tanks and flying beasts... if this happens.. i can die in peace.. and be rested for eternity ... Thank you gaijin.. love u all.
Please, please, please fix the WWII vs PostWWII, modern tanks have better ammo, are usually faster, more nimble and if they have armour it usually defeats the WWII rounds with just a few exceptions. WWII AFV's lack the hp and hence speed and mobility if they are to carry any decent armour, and even then modern rounds go through like a hot knife through butter. Modern v modern and WWII v WWII please.
Hey Gaijin, you make should make war thunder modern era type game, 1950s-present day combat vehicles that would be nice.
Warthunder isn't the best ,but i belive watthunder will become the best.THANK YOU GAIJIN
war* im sorry
Most of modern MBT information is still secret right? (armour penetration, etc) how you guys found the information
There is plenty of information out there in the public domain in the form of publications, manufacturer articles, etc. that cover long rod penetrators, armor types, etc. There is also plenty of information on the armor layout and thickness of almost all of the modern tanks out there. In some cases the layout of the armor is also visible. Recently the armor layout and internal structure of the composite blocks of the orginal M1 Abrams has been published in a declassifid CIA report.
yaaaaay good job there!! I saw the future of the game and I divided to buy premium tanks for British nation cause I absolutely love challenger tanks! will you guys add new awesome tanks for British players yea?
I really liked the map, and it seemed modern middle east.had a little warehouse,urban where you could actually hide,not like some of the urban maps we have now where every place is a straight shot across the map. and had some desert.the copters were cool but harder to fly tan a tanker want to learn.W forward,S back,A left,D right,shift climb press once not hold,ctrl down.So which Is the commuity fav Leo 2 or the M-90? and Why does the M-90 have the slow "panther" type reverse? is that real?
T90s are modernized T72 which had on 1 gear backwards :P
*puts on shades* YEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
will there be a greater award than god mode?
