Update 1.75 'La Résistance' released! (Survey added!)
WAR THUNDER PRESENTS
Update 1.75 «La Résistance!»
French Ground forces
French ground vehicles have been added in this update and we begin the closed test of these unusual machines. You can get access to the test by completing several easy in-game tasks or by purchasing early access packs and be the first to test French armour!
Aircraft
This time War Thunder has also introduced more than a dozen new aircraft such as the Soviet Yak-2, the Yak-4 or the French MS.406C1, as well as the post war F3D1 Skyknight naval fighter or the top-rank Japanese F-86F-40 jet.
New Locations
A new location for combined battles known as "Maginot Line" has also been added in this update - A famous French defense line full of bunkers and fortifications.
The other map "Middle East" will be familiar to our players - it was already introduced during the april’s fool event this year, it has been reworked and optimized and now our players will have an opportunity to battle among the city ruins and an oil factory situated in the hot sands of the Middle East.
Other improvements
Interface
Automatic camo choice option has been added. The camo will be chosen depending on the location (urban, desert, winter etc.) If the vehicle dosen't have suitable camo then standard camouflage will be chosen.
Game mechanics
New opportunities for light vehicles
- "Active scouting". In order to scout the environment in Arcade mode just select a target and push the “Scout” button (may be bound in the settings). After that an enemy marker will become visible for all your teammates for 30 seconds. In Realistic mode you will have to use binoculars or sight (sniper) view. Once in this view put your crosshairs on an enemy vehicle and press the “Scout” button. After that a marker will appear over the enemy vehicle and will be updated for 30 seconds.
- If you are playing a heavy tank for example - select the “Repairing!” short message - any allies who are driving light vehicles may assist you even if they are not members of your squad.
Additional modifications for light vehicles II-VI rank:
- Airstrike - in Arcade this will permit the scout to join any air battle started by your teammates. This will not be limited to a fighter - you will be able to use an attacker or a bomber even though your team has already begun the battle. Your opponent will have an opportunity to add an additional fighter though. In Realistic mode this modification will additionally reduce SP requirements to use aircraft in combined battles
- Improved optical sights will increase the spotting distance by 30% in all modes.
Of course, there is much more - download the update and check it out!

All answers (1)CleverNameGotBan, :| Bruce said that we could read it on the homepage. Please just give a day or time of WHEN because it's just gonna be easy to datamine the game's update this time. Then again, it's probably a code based event that uses a code like "WINTER2017 / WINTER17" or "OLYMPICS2017 / OLYMPICS17"
Is this where I lodge my complaint about things that have nothing to do with this update?
Hear hear, he knows the drill! ;)
Automatic camo choice! Yay that was a surprise to be sure, but a welcome one!!!!!
Enjoy :)
OrsonES, Best thing, among tanks and maps GJ!!!
Like that! Too nice job.
very good work guys! , in the 4 years that I have playing this game, I am impressed by the work done by the developers team, thanks for always updating the game, P.D: for the next patch, Italians want love! ;)
Thanks for being with us! Hope you will enjoy the Update :)
Stona_WT, I agree, great stuff this update. If we could have more Italian vehicles for the next update, it would be greatly appreciated
Seriously...Not even a single plane for Italy? Yet France basically has a more fleshed out airforce and groundforces tree already?
Italy has some boats in the Knights of the Sea CBT, so its only fair to share the love around
But some love for Japan, right?

Enjoy! And thanks for being with us since 1.27 :)
