A special in-game event for younger War Thunder players!
War Thunder is preparing to expand its audience and move to a new 4+ age rating. A special "TailSpin" aviation event starts in our game, with a visual style and physics adapted for the widest possible audience. Everyone knows that in April we test new game mechanics and features. This time you have a chance to try the new version of the graphics and physics model, as well as feel what the whole game will be like in the near future! Moreover, changes in the game environment will make an upcoming port of the game to mobile platforms easier.
While the new ratings are pending, we present to you a special aviation event, “TailSpin”!
About the event
From 11:00 GMT on the 1st of April till 12:00 GMT on the 5th of April
The skies over Cape Somerset bay are restless again - opposing clans from the Republic of Air Pirates decided to find out who should be the master of the region of the magical Soaring Rocks. Become one of the dashing air corsairs in the epic battle between pirate squadrons! Prove your skills to the clan and get new, even more powerful aircraft!
To win a mission, destroy enemy planes or bomb the zeppelin mothership!
Nimble.
Such an aircraft is given to every new pilot in the Air Pirates. Do you want something more serious? Load the machine gun and shoot down the enemies of the clan!
How to get it? Beginner's plane - available for everyone
Windscreech.
Hmmm, this one is better indeed! The Windscreech is noticeably faster, although it still lacks firepower.
How to get it? 10 players defeated and assisted.
Bumblebee.
The favorite fighter of the Stalinia boar pilots is now in the hands of the Air Pirates. Six machine guns, bombs and rockets are where the fun begins!
How to get it? 25 players defeated and assisted
Hornet.
You can’t have TOO many guns, any pirate would agree! This triplane carries 8 machine guns, as well as bombs and rockets for striking ground targets.
How to get it? 50 players defeated and assisted
Red Goose.
This is a real flying fortress with defensive turrets and the most powerful six-barreled Golden Dragon cannons.
How to get it? 85 players defeated and assisted
Tornado.
The Tornado fighter is a status aircraft of the Air Pirate elite. Excellent speed and new rapid-fire autocannons for the best pilots in the Republic.
How to get it? 130 players defeated and assisted
Panther.
These fighters are one-off assembled for the leaders of the clans of the Republic. It is the Panther fighter that leads the squadrons of air corsairs into battle. The best engines and weapons make this aircraft the most advanced fighter ever to take to the skies.
How to get it? 185 players defeated and assisted
Sly Duck.
Smuggling is the main source of income for the Republic, so the smugglers' workhorse must be ready to stand up against raiders. This peaceful-looking seaplane is armed with 20mm autocannons, heavy machine guns and superb turrets!
How to get it? 250 players defeated and assisted
PIRATE! Keep track of your reputation with the clan in the “Events” tab - there you will see which aircraft are waiting for you and what you need to do to get them.
Gifts for all air adventurers:
- For the first five defeated opponents or provided support, we give a commemorative "TailSpin" decal.
- For 100 defeated opponents or provided support, get the "Fox" pilot icon (after the end of the event, the Fox will turn into a human pilot - click to check)
- For 150 defeated opponents or rendered supports, get the pilot "Bear" icon (after the end of the event, the Bear will turn into a human pilot - click to check)
- For 300 defeated opponents or provided supports, the title "Air Pirate" is awarded
As well as normal random battles, containers with materials for the “Future Technologies” crafting event might also be obtained in both TailSpin and Warfare 2077 events! Every 10 minutes spent in battles grants one container.

Anyone else notice the undertone of Australia Advance in the music?
Even for an April Fool's event, I never would've guessed to see a spoof on Disney's Talespin. Looks pretty awesome, but I have to say, the "...as well as feel what the whole game will be like in the near future!" line from the above article makes me nervous.
On 1st April years ago we had flying ponies. Do you see them in game? :)
Is this and RTX on for the show tailspin, Btw I only found out about that show because when I googled what the spruce goose was I spelt moose instead, episode 3 That is a pretty good show
Haha, yes, it's TaleSpin on RTX :D
This is off the tv show tailspin right? The one about the yellow catilina like plane, the sly duck
Yup :)
im pretty sure the sly duck is bugged
Can you please make increase the airships health by a factor of 10, every damn match tonight some try hard cuck drops two stupid bombs on it and kills it, match over, no one can get kills or assists to earn the shit we want from this event
Gaijin plz, could you make it so every Aprils fools event from every year stays available on custom matches at least? every Aprils fools you make is really good, fun and detailed content that it feels like a shame to see all this hard work gone after a few days. I in particular miss the mechas as well as the space balls.
Pls dont turn them normal, this will make these PFP special, please dont turn them to human, we already have Snail PFP , so why cant we have fox/bear pfp?????
so can you keep this profile after event end or make this two version plz? some people wanna use a fox and bear form that why they doing it
Maan, ya'll really gonna turn the much more unique fox and bear dudes into humans after the event? Why though?
