On the 5th of March, 1943, the Battle of Ruhr was begun; a campaign of strategic bombing that took place during the Second World War. It was in this campaign that the famous ‘Dambusters raid’, a.k.a. “Operation Chastise” was carried out on May 17th.

War Thunder and Igromania present a series of “Video Tutorials” created for War Thunder. The seventh video will review different types of ground vehicles and their proper tactical application in battle!

We have updated our official wiki page with information about creation of flight models in our game. We hope that this information will help all our players get a better understanding of the game mechanics and enhance their experience.

The history of aviation in New Zealand can be dated as far back as 1913. It was then that New Zealand received two Bleriot XI monoplanes supplied by Great Britain.

Top of the US bomber tree, the B-57B is one of the most effective ground attack aircraft in game. Able to carry a wide variety of ordnance at high speed, this often overlooked aircraft can be a dangerous threat to leave in open skies.

We continue the tutorial series with a new video about the War Thunder CDK, in which our lead artist Kirill Stupin demonstrates to you how to work with the location editor.

One cannot but put any piston engine into an aircraft. It has to be specifically designed for the demanding environment of flight. Engines for aircraft were being built years before the Wright brothers’ historic flight and have a development path quite different to that of land based engines.

We have updated our official wiki page with information on how destroyed units and assists count in our game. We hope that this information will help all our players get a better understanding of the game mechanics and enhance their experience.

The M26 Medium Tank, which was also designated as a Heavy Tank for a short period, was an accumulated design that started from Major General Gladeon Marcus Barnes and Colonel Joseph Colby.

Since we are constantly working on increasing the accuracy and realism inside the game - an important aspect of the game mechanics as the calculation of armour penetration could not be ignored. Today we want to talk about the improvements and enhancements introduced in the calculation of the armour-piercing effect of projectiles.
