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

And this is the real joke of 1st of april...
Awesome 1er april, the modern war is just a excellent for the futur on war thunder! the name is "WAR THUNDER NEXT GEN" thanks
i would really like to see full modern planes and such like to 2017 and what continues , but i feel like a game that is full modern should be a separate game , not part of THIS war thunder
It was such a fantastic event! However, one of the best parts of it for me was the spawn system. I truly hope Gaijin considers adopting that same or a similar spawn system like the one used in the event. Currently it is beyond frustrating to spawn and die from across the map immediately.
Well chaps, you have done it again: you have amazed us all with your incredible game which only gets better and better. Keep up the marvellous work!
More like April HYPE day!
looks like we will have way more vehicles to grind soon :)
Please for the love of god do not stop development.....I've invested over £700 over the years and if you going to go to a Modern Era, I can see myself investing more. Well done Gaijin on the event!!!!
Only $700?
Dear Gaijin I had an absolute blast, it was so much fun with the modern tanks and helicopter it would be awesome for releasing them in the game and yes helicopters pose some problems but an easy fix for that either make sure tanks get their counter measures for them and or introduce SAMS or just reduce the range for the ATGMs but plz do release modern vehicles and plz increase the credits and RP earning in RB its so frustrating climbing and then get shot down and lose credits plz fix this too.
"War Thunder was ready for modern vehicles"? what is this, need to clear it up, does it mean modern vehicles is confirmed? Or, the event was possible because War Thunder engine was ready, but are you guys going to consider adding modern vehicles? "New mechanics will be tested for main game modes in War Thunder"? does it mean only mechanics will be added, not modern vehicles? I'm so confused, please clear it up, no one want to hype up for nothing.
