A vast amount of vehicles, fixes and anticipated Roadmap additions have now been implemented! Flagship jets: F-16C Block 50, Barak II and MiG-29SMT, plus jets for other nations. Italy has gained the Hungarian branch, which includes 11 ground vehicles starting from the Csaba and ending at the KF41, as well as 3 helicopters. The first South Korean vehicle, the VIDAR — which arrives as an export variant used by Norway — also comes to the Swedish tree! The visual effects of wind, smoke and ammo detonations plus more have also been improved, as well as a rank VI Bluewater and 3 premium Battleships have arrived. Two new maps, including the return of “Test Site — 2271”, are also here.
Better yet, there’s a ton of content waiting for you. Read below to find out more.

We’ve been working hard on improving the graphic effects in War Thunder! In this update, you’ll be able to see the following improvements while in battle: new trees and wind effects, shots and explosions, destroyable ammo, aircraft voice warning systems (say hello to Bitchin’ Betty!), updated RWR and a realistic HUD for helicopters. All of these changes will help to enhance the visuals and overall feeling of the game in all areas of battle.
We worked on an aircraft map that was to be located in Southeast Asia. Rocky Pillars comes to the game, and we can’t wait to see how aircraft combat will play amongst the large, well, rocky pillars. For ground battles, we’ve made some improvements to Test Site — 2271, which now returns to the map rotation after its initial release in the Atomic Heart event. This map has been improved based on your feedback — thank you and enjoy!
Alongside the usual additions of vehicles, mechanics and bug fixes, we’ve got some other misc features. Vehicle photographs on stat cards now shine in a clear and uniform manner, allowing you to better see what a vehicle looks like. Useful information has been added to each vehicle’s modification window — this includes information about tier bonuses, and a useful bar to see the progress of how much modification RP is needed as a number and a percentage. Oh yeah, we’ve also adjusted a ton of vehicle sounds.

Comments will be premoderatedWhy does the PSO still have generation 1 thermals? The electronics upgrade package was one of its main selling points.
I would like to be in favor of the USSR replacing the T-54 1947 with the T-54 1949, because I researched the T-54 1949 here and I can't buy it, and I'm also angry that I have to research essentially the same tank again, but only from a different year I would like it to be changed or at least for the fact that I can buy it, thanks for the answer
Love the new update so far. Cant wait to try it out. But.... i dont like the new background of vehicles. I think those old ones were better. I like how they were by years photographed. It added that realistic feelling to it. Great update :)
hello admistrator.. how to join partnership gaijin?
https://warthunder.com/en/media/partnership/
I think South Korea should be its own nation, with a lot of "borrowed" vehicles, sort of like china
Warthunder the Great War next plz !!! . Add romanian tanks also plz !
Great update! Hopefully they finally fixed VC (voice chat) between PS4 and PC. Losing VC connection after 4-8 mins and having to reboot after each battle to get it working again has been very frustrating for so many years now. My son and I are praying we can finally play WT without giving up from frustration after an hour. Otherwise, we won't get to really enjoy any of the new features :( Can't wait to test it and find out!
WHY the Hungarians under the Italians??? makes 0 sense... shame. I won't grind Italians to have Hungarians. joke
they said minor axis nation goes to italy
Hope a Korean tree gets added, i feel it would act a lot like china.
Low BR AB ground attack games seem to end a lot quicker. 3 to 4 mins, just enough time for one bomb drop if you are flying some slow bomber. Where as the AB air domination games are 10-15 mins.
