Naval pre-beta testing schedule - Yugumo!
Attention! Outdated news format. Content may not display correctly.


We are pleased to invite pre-beta testers to another test session of the War Thunder Naval battles.

The test will be held in a new location “Fiji” and the latest addition, the “Yugumo” class destroyer will take part in the test for the first time.

Even though WW2 never came to the archipelago, the Fiji islands are perfect for testing naval battles involving destroyers and the mosquito fleet. A combination of islands that provide cover for the MTB’s, Patrol boats etc. and open spaces suitable for a destroyers’ maneuvers with longer range battles allow every type of vessel to use its best advantages. Also this location has airfields so aircraft will be able to reload. Diverse spawn points positions allow players to choose different tactics.
