Thunder Show: Double Double Kill

Hi! Welcome to Thunder Show and the best moments of the past week! This episode’s fighters don’t seem to know what “sensible” means, like at all. The enemy’s out of sights? Or maybe a couple ranks above you? Or maybe even turned your vehicle into a colander already? Nah, they’re not getting away anyway!

Skink: The Bird-eating Lizard

The Skink is an experimental Canadian self-propelled anti-aircraft unit, developed on the basis of the Grizzly medium tank. Designed with the sole purpose of shielding Allied units from hostile air attack, the highly anticipated Skink is finally making its way to the game, arriving as part of the next major War Thunder update!

Aircraft engine fire extinguishers

In the upcoming major War Thunder update, we plan to introduce the engine fire extinguishing systems for planes and helicopters.

Best Shermans

The M4 Sherman was the workhorse tank of the US Army during WW2, and one of the most produced tanks in history. It performed really well in any theatres of war it was involved in, and its variants remained an effective counter to the German armour till the very end of the war. All in all, almost 50,000 Shermans rolled off the factory floor. Furthermore, in War Thunder, the Sherman is one of the most widely used vehicles, with almost every nation having at least a single variant of the iconic tank at their disposal. So today we’re talking about the Shermans.

Pre-order: VRCC Centauro

The export version of the venerable Italian wheeled tank destroyer designed for Spanish land forces, coupled with an unique decoration and Premium as a special pre-order pack!

HJ-9: The Red Arrow

The HJ-9 is a Chinese wheeled ATGM carrier which entered service with the PLA in the late 1990s as a platform for a newly developed anti-tank missile. Coming to War Thunder as part of the next major update, the HJ-9 will soon reinforce the top ranks of the Chinese ground forces tree with a highly capable new tank hunter!

Thunder Show: FWD: Incoming!

Hi! Welcome to Thunder Show and the best moments of the past week! This episode is about accepting your fate. You can’t control everything in battle. You never know when an insane SAM will bump into you around a corner or where a seemingly confident shot will actually land. Still, there’s no point in giving up too soon: victory might be closer than you think.

VK 30.02 (M): The Cub Roars

The VK 30.02 (M) is the prototype design of what would eventually become the legendary PzKpfw V ‘Panther’ tank. In the next major War Thunder update, fans of German military vehicles will have the chance to add the earliest iteration of the Panther tank to their collection and take this prototype out into actual battle!

Pbv 302 BILL: Scandinavian Frugality

The Pbv 302 is a Swedish APC, developed in the mid 1960s as a replacement to the outdated Pbv 301. Soon, tankers in War Thunder will have the chance to take command of an experimental anti-tank version of this widely produced APC as it makes its way to the game as part of the next major update!

New authentic decals (available until September 15th)

We’re pleased to present to you a new set of rare decals for your vehicles! As usual, the decals are quite varied in styles and themes: we’ve got stylish graffiti in Hebrew, a weird Canadian palm tree, and among the typical animal-themed emblems we have not only got a menacing realistic tiger, but also a seahorse and a cute Spanish parrot. There’s something for everyone, whether you prefer ships, tanks, or aircraft!

Book of Records: American Aircraft

Military aircraft designed in the US are considered to be among the best in the world – and rightly so. American strategists have long realised that having a capable air force is one of the main ways to ensure victory in battle. For many years, the military decision-makers demanded almost impossible things from American engineers, but they delivered time and time again, creating a slew of unique designs. Today we’re going to speak about the most impressive of them!
