Dear users, we identified the Issue with the achievement for "100.000 War Thunder Festival".

The CR.42 Falco (“Falcon”) flew for the first time on May 23rd, 1938. Fiat’s chief test pilot Valentino Cus took to the skies over Turin in an aircraft that would become legendary. It was the most advanced biplane fighter around, but unfortunately for the Falco, the age of monoplanes had already dawned.

December 4th, 2013 was when our project entered a new stage of development: Closed Beta Test (CBT) started testing our ground equipment. Every pilot could perform daily tasks issued by Tank Command to have a chance to be invited in to the CBT. In addition, access could also be obtained by purchasing one of the Special Packages of premium tanks or taking part in numerous competitions organized and distributed by social networks and partner sites .

On May the 16th, over 100 000 concurrent players were playing War Thunder on PC and Mac. That’s a great indicator of the high appreciation for the game and we would like to thank our players for their loyalty and interest.
