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!

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.
