Thunder Show: I believe i can tank

Hi! Welcome to Thunder Show and the freshest moments of the past week. This episode is about the battle between the skies and the ground. Who will win? Tankers or pilots? Let’s see!

New authentic decals (available until October 20th)

Here’s a new set of rare decals! Japanese cobra, French knight, British unicorn, Italian griffin, South African cat, and two dragons: Swedish and Chinese! Make your aircraft, ships and tanks prettier with these new pictures!

Project “Overpowered”

Good military vehicles aren’t only about their characteristics: they also need to be cheap to produce, easy to repair and open to serious upgrading. A perfect example of such a machine is the legendary Po-2 light bomber. This all-round great aircraft earned the love and respect of pilots 95 years ago, and now it has become famous among War Thunder players for its phenomenal capabilities when controlled by an experienced pilot. What a surprising coincidence it is, then, that Po-2 was chosen by the Organization as a platform for upgrades in Project “Overpowered”.

Thunder Show: One versus All

Welcome to Thunder Show and the most impressive moments of the past week. Today we’d like to talk about... luck. Sometimes you just feel it’s not your day. Sometimes chance actually saves the day.

Ferocious Warthog

Even the looks of the A-10 are nothing short of iconic. Just look at it! It’s hard to believe that in 2022 this fearsome winged predator celebrates its 50th anniversary… and has no plans to retire any time soon, even though there were numerous attempts to replace it. Actually, the first of those were made almost immediately after the first A-10 Thunderbolt II rolled off the factory floor.

“Project █████o█████”: battleship Ostfriesland

The German Helgoland-class dreadnought wielding heavy armor and 305mm guns comes to the game as one of the prizes in the upcoming autumn crafting event. A true old school battleship!

Special

Battle of Britain Day

On September 15th, 1940, the Luftwaffe performed its largest air attack on Great Britain, wanting to destroy the Royal Air Force. The Germans sent 620 fighters and 500 bombers to London, hoping to draw out and defeat the RAF. And yet RAF pilots held off and in the end downed twice as many enemy aircraft as the Luftwaffe did. Having failed in the sky, Germany scrapped its plans of invading the UK.
