And of course follow our news to learn all the details about the coming update.
At Gamescom 2017 we will introduce the new major update 1.71 “New E.R.A”. The name was coined for several reasons - first, we are adding a 6th rank for tanks and invite you to test the vehicles of the Cold War and Vietnam war period. Ground vehicles in War Thunder will receive new armour types - composite and Explosive Reactive Armour. This new era in tank construction marked the switch to brand new technologies in protection against powerful HEAT rounds and missiles that could easily destroy any WW2 armour. New infantry support machines will join combat - we are ready to tell you about some of them in the next few days. Stay tuned!
And don’t forget about prizes! Do you know much about your favourite game? Give at least 7 correct answers for 10 questions in our War Thunder Mastermind Quiz dedicated to update 1.71 “New E.R.A.” and receive a unique title “War Thunder Mastermind” and a RP booster! The link to the quiz will be published at 14:00 GMT!
A New Era is coming - welcome to War Thunder update 1.71!

We will post more information as we go along chaps. Watch the news. 1.71 will have our usual addition to the existing game, ground vehicles, planes and maps, but primarily, it will introduce Level 6 Ground vehicles using the new mechanics, this will be the focus on this occasion. There will be no rank 6 aircraft in this update.
Please add P 51H into this update?
Exciting stuff! Looking forward to it o7
Don´t you dare delay the Heinkel 177 due to this!!
WE WANT THE GREIF!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! GIVE US THE GGGGGRRRRREEEEEEIIIIIIIFFFFFF
Reichsfackel :P
Japanese tank tree is broken and bugged and severly underperforming. Their tanks are half finished and now you're adding tier 6? Stop getting ahead of yourselves. The tanks we have in game themselves should stretch to 10.0. Yet we still don't have 10.0BR.
BaconNatorTheAce, No, He's right, except that every tech tree in the game still does need a lot of fixes. Gaijin is now making a fool out of itself. I am very disappointed with their decision to throw the power creep into overdrive.
Priest5000, 'cos fixing the game is over-rated! ))))
Choo choo! No brakes on the hype train!
As always.... Hype garners more support than add-on control, server performance, or customer service in general.
Boy I hope your train derails...
I really hope it doesn't cost 500.000RP to unlock a Tier 6 Vehicle
The progress for rank 6 will be similar to that of rank 5, not harder. Later when we have enough vehicles on rank 6 we plan to reduce RP and SL requirements for rank 5 or even earlier vehicles
Senio, God bless you
NO. STOP. WE DONT NEED THIS. WE DONT NEED THIS. AT ALL. FIX YOUR GAME.
War thunder is going to be fixed and its always being fixed why do they have micro patches? And name 1 online game that does not have issues...Exactly nothing is perfect so deal with it.
HunterKiller_04, Google "fallacy". Might be useful for you next time you post comments.
Will some of the current high tier vehicles be moved to tier 6 or will they stay where they are? What will the new maximum BR be and can we expect a BR decompression? Will there be tier 5 premiums now that tier 5 is no longer the highest tier?
most likely some of rank 5 armoured vehicles e.g. ATGM tanks will receive new BRs and probably some of the existing tanks will move to rank 6. It will not happen on the first day of 1.71 update release but after some time, enough to gather statistical data.
Why need BR decompression kemerede? Everything is working as intended ))))))))))
If it doesnt involve separating WW II and post war tanks in matches, this game remains in the trash can for me.
When a tank is made doesn't matter in War Thunder. Tanks receive their BR based on how well they do, which is how it should be.
AppleJooc, *cough* KV-220 *cough*
Your APDS slope modifiers are pathetic, APCR pen is all wrong and AP, APC, APBC, APCBC all have wrong slope modifiers. You're adding composite armour and we still don't have early war FHA armour implemented
All non he-filler rounds suck atm.
All solid rounds are useless in this game.
OMG !!!!!!!!!!! ERA AND RANK 6 !!! Nice !!!
