World War scenario: Battle for the Fulda Gap
Commanders, we are preparing for the new season of World War mode, dedicated to the Cold War period and Arab-Israeli conflicts. This intelligence data on one of the new scenarios will help you to make your squadron and its vehicles ready for the upcoming battles. The operation begins in July!
World War mode in War Thunder is represented by Seasons that include various scenarios, years of operations, available vehicles and theatres of war. The squadrons and players that take part in battles and Operations will receive (besides the usual battle rewards) special prizes for participation, and the best squadrons and players will receive special valuable prizes after the results of the day and the Season - they are unique for each Season. Learn more on WT Wiki.
Alternate history: “Battle for the Fulda Gap”
One of the possible directions of the Soviet invasion into Western Europe was considered a wide lowland area between the mountains of the federal state of Hesse, Germany. This area was designated by NATO military ‘The Fulda Gap”. The lowland was well suited for the operation of a large scale armored group, the main gambit of the Soviet military doctrine in a possible war.
The strategists were right. July 25th, 1985, the USSR initiates a large-scale border breakthrough in the Fulda Gap region, heading towards Frankfurt am Main to capture the financial centre of Germany and establish a foothold for the invasion into Western Europe.
Tasks for the sides in the conflict
These conditions are important for squadrons that enter the operation according to the described scenario.
USSR

L0L is this world war event going to be rigged 100% in favor of huge squads like the last???? I'm still PLATINUM MAD over how unfair it was to obtain rewards like the ba-11 last event. that was the only thing I cared for but I was not going to participate in an event that was so blatantly biased towards maxed out squads getting things 2 times as fast as players who didn't have the ability to call upon maxed squads. VERY ANGRY GAIJIN!!!
Why dont you join a squadron then?
Last time i check WWM there weren't any battles on going...and it's been like every time i checked. this one is post war tanks and jets which i don't have.
Notice how the Soviet forces are Greenfor, and NATO forces are Redfor!! LUL xD
I would love to see return of the events , in wich we could play RB in SB maps
Here is my concern. i command the last WW mode and in order to win the game i am not able to leave the sand box and join the battle since the i need to control the units in case the enenmy commander made movements. So im thinking if the rewards for the battle commanders is too little or none at all.
Let German use MIG21MF!!!!Soviet have SMT why can't German use MF!!!!
it was East Germany plane ffs! They should add both SMT and MF attacking you lol
Arab-Israeli conflict with no Israel even though in terms of number of indigenously produced vehicles they are on par if not exceed China :(
Will be there any kind of rewards?
Please, check the article again :)
I miss the WW2 chronicles event. Will we see them anytime soon?
That was awful. Sorry, gonna have to disagree. Historical Lineups do NOT work in this game. It's one of the reasons WWM is so unpopular.
If there will be reward vehicles this time. I do hope you guys don't F things up and make it so only a small numbers of players can get the reward vehicle's. Like in WW Season 1.
They already made them mor accessible in season 2. Like the marathon events
