New location for naval battles - Andaman Sea

Dear players, we are happy to introduce to you a new location for naval battles - “Andaman Sea bay”. The location was inspired by the area surrounding the Phang Nga Bay in Thailand.

Type 60 ATM: Death on a Wire

The Type 60 ATM  is to become a Japanese carrier of guided anti-tank missiles. This APC, armed with some of the slowest ammunition in the game, is to appear in update 1.67. If you’ve always wanted to “unleash“ a predatory anti-tank missile, this tank is just the ticket!

Sturmpanzer II: Tiny Annihilator

Low-tier German SPG Sturmpanzer II uses the mightiest HE charges in War Thunder so far.

Exhaust Flames

Flames from the exhausts of aircraft engines – a small change that makes a big impression in War Thunder!

Very soon Simulator Battles will be a more transparent and simple mode, where apart from the usual choice of battle server the player will be able to independently choose an interesting battle.
