Meet the new War Thunder soundtracks for modern vehicles!
Music from your favorite game can be enjoyed from outside it — and we're happy to give you an opportunity to do so. Following the classic War Thunder soundtrack that was dedicated to the vehicles of WWII, we released two new albums. They consist of 20 tracks that were added to the game in the Apex Predators update and are played during the battles of the Cold War era and more modern ground and air vehicles. We hope to please commanders of the navy with new music in the foreseeable future!

Zimbabwe Independence Day

There are so many things said and written about the Focke-Wulf Fw 190, a legendary German fighter aircraft, that it’s fair to assume that it’ll take you at least a lifetime to even scratch the surface of the subject.

Refinement of the aircraft damage models on the example of Su-25 and А-10А
We received feedback from players about possible problems with damage models of the top attackers Su-25 and A-10A. Now we will tell you about what problems we found and how we solved them.
“Repair Factory”
In the “Mobile Infantry” event you got a good look at exo-suits in intense urban battles. The battles will continue and the battlefield is littered with spent exo-suits - battered, damaged, inoperable. It’s a good time to get behind the scenes and help them get back to action.
