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!

While early guided missiles and afterburner aircraft can work (Mig-21, Vought Crusader, etc), there is a much larger issue with adding in more modern tanks. The T-64A itself is game-changing, and will be functionally invulnerable tier V US, Japanese, German and British MBTs from the front at all but point-blank range. The only vehicles that will be able to counter the T-64A safely are the Jaguar II (HOT), Swingfire, and the Type 60 MAT.
followup: The M60A3 is by no means a reliable counter; it's ERA adds only first shot protection at limited locations, and the only ammo that it will have that can defeat the T-64A reliably at range will be its DU M735 and M735A1, capable of penetrating up to 350mm of armor at 2km. This means that on larger maps such as kursk, the T-64A will be invulnerable when hull down unless it is below 1km.
We will see maps based on european cities from cold war era?
Anything is possible.
FryingTigerWT, can i get a dragon from game of thrones to fight planes and a mammoth to fight tanks pleeeaseee????
As an aircraft main I'm curious talking about new technologies for tanks in the form of ERA but I am wondering about new aircraft additions to rank VI thinking the only place to go is Supersonic my curiosities and concerns are fairly large. But I will wait to see before I make a judgement. Anxiously and excitied.
We introduce rank 6 for armoured vehicles only at the moment
Senio, Thanks for the response. Still can't wait and see!
Does this mean a change in the RP costs? The grind is going to be unreal for non premium players like me!
Sorry ... but there are some few major things which should be completed first. I really want that but also WW1-WW2 mid-era. There was some lists of planes/tanks you original wanted to implement. First complete that ok? Thanks
I agree. I also want to see ships before this.
Does that mean our tier 4 premiums that were earlier sold for full price become useless or will they be able to research tier 6 vehicles without loosing rp??
What Rank 4 premiums got to do with this?
Stona_WT, he is probably trying to ask: can you research rank 6 vehicles efficiently with rank 4 premium vehicles? Or are you guys maybe introducing Rank 5 premiums?
We need P.1000
No.
New infantry support vehicles,then whwre is infantry that is in need to be supported?
gaijin needs to ditch the 12+ rating, half the playerbase is old coots anyway
So this game went from being a WW2 and Korean war era vehicle-based game, to having post-Korean war era vehicles, to having Vietnam era vehicles, and now the power creep is just gonna be thrown into overdrive??? I thought today was going to be a really good day, but nope, only disappointment.
They left the WW2 and early Korea cutoff in the dust a long time ago dude. Be glad this is a new tier of vehicles in their own BR and they didn't just add them at 8.0, if you don't want to see these vehicles and play against them stay in lower BRs. I'm glad they're adding these vehicles though because ATGMs have had zero counters until this update comes through with ERA.
The good news is that you can keep playing against your ww2 and korean war era vehicles only if you wish! So nothing has changed for your ww2 era tanks =) I think you should try out the new tier too of course, but that is up to you.
This game was born as a ww2 based game and it was so good... now what will it be?...missiles era? A dcs wanna be? I'd rather like a more realistic ww2 experience (historical mode) that was the best warthunder i've ever seen.
"This game was born as a ww2 based game " - No it was not.
Stona_WT, You had a limit - 1952 two years ago - but now is gone. What about when you end adding all Cold War stuff? Will you change the limit and become a kind of Armoured Warfare game? "War Thunder is the most comprehensive free-to-play, cross-platform, MMO military game for Windows, Linux, Mac and PlayStation®4 dedicated to aviation, armoured vehicles, and naval craft from World War II and the Cold War." - https://warthunder.com/en/game/about/
