In clashes between three of the major military powers of the 21st century, players will battle against each other in combat in the some of the world’s most powerful nuclear submarines. The three dimensional depths of the ocean, realistic physics and modern strategic weaponry will become available this weekend! All players will be able to take part in the initial first test.
The test session will be held from 12:00 GMT on March 31st until 12:00 GMT on April 3rd
In the test version of the game, players will be able to try modern nuclear submarines from the three major military powers, the United States, Great Britain and Russia, where each vessel is armed with a unique selection of guided torpedoes and missiles.
The test will be held in a location inspired by the Spitzbergen ocean area, players will battle to capture one of the strategic zones, and once it’s captured cruise or ballistic missiles will be launched.
Among the powerful armament of the Russian Yasen-class, for example, are the destructive 3M-14K ‘Kalibr’ anti-ship and land-attack cruise missiles, famous from their presence in recent conflicts. The only British nuclear missile platform Vanguard-class, excels in its guided anti-submarine torpedo armament, and at a weight of 2 tons each boasts unparallelled anti-submarine power. The American Virginia-class may have less potent torpedoes on offer, but more than makes up for it with nuclear warheads, each with a yield of up to 200 kilotons, fitted on dozens of the famous Tomahawk missiles.
Silent Thunder aims for a completely new vehicular combat experience. Deep down below in the darkest depths of the world’s oceans, players will have to navigate and detect enemies using sonar and other detection devices, while trying to stay hidden from the ever watchful eyes of their enemies. The slightest sound can reveal their location - so players need to be careful when activating their active sonar, firing a torpedo, even scraping their outer hull against a rock or iceberg can give the game away. This is a game for true naval tacticians!
Break the chilling silence in the Arctic Ocean this weekend!

Well - really nice - steer the own torpedo ??! - well ok. first battle 2 kills, second 1, third battle - one guy in the other team killed ALL of my team??!! so 100% WT ;P
It's not working for Mac. It crashes as soon as I join the battle. Thanks again gaijin =)
how does one play? keep getting the war thunder client
Great event ! Like each year ! Nice work, Gaijin !
I enjoyed the subs and I want to add my 2 cents. Its pretty hard to balance the boat out, it does show you the speeds of going back and forth and you can select certain gears, but not for up and down. I wish there was a way to choose gears for that aswell. It was pitch black during my second match. I understand that ice sheets are blocking the sun light and its pretty deep underwater, however, for the sake of game enjoyment, I think the maps should be more lit.
Where is the Avro Shackleton?
Smells like april fools event; BUT IT IS STILL MARCH! (Although March 31th)
Oh my .... New addiction to gameplay added. :) I am great fan of Silent Hunter series and this is first serious addon to the genre in ages. Gonna park my tanks and dip in the water for the weekend. Thx Gaijin for nice surprise.
*DAS BOOT SOUNDTRACK INTENSIFIES*
just like we have planes and tanks, add in the subs and it can be included in simulator battles and a "kill streak" in air arcade and such
