SARH Air-to-Air Missiles
In the Raining Fire update, War Thunder saw the addition of semi-active radar homing air-to-air missiles. What these are, how they work, and how a player would make use of them – we’ll tell you in this article!
Wargame “Strategist”
The paper battlefield has been rolled out and the rules are in front of you! Prepare the figures and get exclusive vehicles from the enemy: the Merkava Mk.3D main battle tank, a BI fighter interceptor, the Lübeck frigate and the Sd.Kfz.251/10 armoured vehicle.
Crafting event “Strategist”: Merkava Mk.3D
The Merkava Mk.3D is a later modification of the well-known Israeli main battle tank, developed during the 1980s. Featuring improvements in all aspects, but most notably in firepower thanks to its new 120 mm smoothbore cannon, the Merkava Mk.3D will soon become available to War Thunder tankers in the upcoming crafting event
Crafting event “Strategist”: Lübeck frigate
Lübeck is a Köln-class frigate, built in the 1960s and represents one of the first larger warships built by Germany after WWII. Highly mobile and armed to the teeth, Lübeck will be one of the prizes awaiting captains in the upcoming event, starting soon in War Thunder!

Crafting Event “Strategist”: Bereznyak-Isayev
The BI was an experimental Soviet rocket-powered aircraft, designed during WWII and envisioned to become a short-range defensive interceptor. Pilots in War Thunder will have the chance to further harness the power of rocket-propelled flight by obtaining the BI as one of the top prizes for participating in the upcoming crafting event “Strategist”!
French MBT's
During WW2, years of occupation and struggle almost put an end to the French tank industry. After the country was liberated, though, there was an immediate drive to rebuild the industry — and by the late 1940s France got their first tank of the ARL 44 production series!
