The “Red Skies” update is almost here! While the development team is finishing work on the update, we are describing another useful game mechanic coming to War Thunder tank battles in the upcoming “Red Skies” release.
Now light tanks and squadmates can help extinguish fires. The new mechanic works in a similar way as repair assistance: you need to drive up to a burning vehicle, wait for the indicator of assistance for firefighting, and after holding the help button, the ally will stop burning. In this case, one kit of fire-fighting equipment on the helper tank will be depleted.
The new mechanic works for burning tanks that are not able to extinguish the fire on their own - the FPE kit has run out or has not yet been installed. The firefighting assistance function makes light tanks even more useful on the battlefield, as well as improving the survivability of allies in a squad.

FANLY what a great change
yay that's so dope !! great work, the community appreciates that future game mechanic
"one kit of fire-fighting equipment on the helper tank will be depleted" Way to go and ruin it...
Love these new changes keep it up!! So, how long before we can swap shells without having to shoot them and potentially reveal our position? Would be great to be able to swap shells, ofcourse with some unload/loading time!
It looks pretty interesting ,but why would anyone giveaway his own equipment? I don't think anyone would risk driving around with one or less fire extinguisher. As a suggestion there can be an extra equipment to use for only allies.
plz resupply extinguisher at A,B,C point! if i assist mate's fire extinguish, i just lost one of my extinguisher!
Might aswell make FPE replenishable at captured points, i dont know....
great addition, but why only light tanks? If you decide to make light tanks the ultimate support for non squadmates, then you have to up their br in order to reduce their AT efficiency (especially for m41 and ru251 that are more TDs than lights and ruins heavy tank gameplay).
ok
Almost here, I hope I can see the update coming tomorrow :( Got 25k gold eagle waiting for the T80BVM
