New Year with War Thunder!

Christmas frost outside - it is time to decorate the Christmas tree and happily wait for the New Year. These winter days are the time of Christmas miracles, fun and gifts. Miracles we will leave to Santa but the fun and gifts will be provided by us!

Char 2bis: the Beast of Champagne

Char 2C is a superheavy French interwar tank, equipped with 155-mm howitzer. The apex predator of the low ranks!

VTOL Aircraft

The advent of the jet era presented a new set of problems to the designers and manufacturers of naval aircraft. As jets needed longer runways, engineers were forced to outfit carriers with complicated and expensive systems for assisted take-off and landing. Even in the late 1950s, contemporary aircraft catapults still left much to be desired – and that’s why major powers of the world started developing VTOL tech – or aircraft with vertical take-off and landing capabilities.

Winter event vehicles: Laté 298

A French Premium Hydroplane with a deadly torpedo is one of the prize in the upcoming winter special event in War Thunder.

Squadron vehicles: Sea Harrier FRS.1

The Sea Harrier is a later modification of the British V/STOL Harrier jet fighter that entered service with the Royal Navy in the late 1960s. Soon, the Sea Harrier FRS.1 will come to War Thunder as a new squadron vehicle, available with the release of the “Apex Predators” major update.

Welcome to Thunder Show and the brightest moments of the past week. It’s getting pretty cold outside, at least for many of you, while this episode is going to be hot. Just as hot as inside an anti-air gun that had a close encounter with the British Crocodile’s flamethrowers. Let’s get started!
