The Tu-14T (T for “torpedonosyets”, EN: torpedo carrier) is a Soviet jet-powered torpedo bomber. The story of this vehicle’s creation is complex. It was a direct competitor to the famous IL-28 and will also be the first jet-powered torpedo bomber in our game. It will soon join the ranks of War Thunder’s naval aircraft.

The Type 3 Ho-Ni III is a Japanese self-propelled anti-tank gun inspired by the German ‘tank destroyers’ The Ho-Ni III embodied all the best characteristics of the vehicles of its series. This Japanese equivalent of the German Marder has almost reached the battlefields of War Thunder!

The Type 2 Ho-I  is a fire-support tank created with the aim of providing proficient reinforcement to armored divisions. This zippy and maneuverable medium tank is equipped with a 75 mm gun with semi-armor-piercing shells chock full of explosives. How did it turn out in the end?

The Lockheed B-34 Ventura can be seen as larger, heavier and faster version of Lockheed Hudson, based on a civilian plane and designed for daylight bombing.

In an upcoming War Thunder update, we plan to present a further development of the Soviet PT-76 amphibious tank – the experimental Object 906 tank with its outstanding 85mm cannon.

The Type 1 Chi-He medium tank is an improved version of one of the most mass-produced Japanese tanks – the Type 97 Chi-Ha. Though a highly advanced vehicle for its time, it never had the opportunity to participate in World War II. Are you ready to be the first to try it out?

Continuing our Japanese tank line is the Type 89 I-Go Ko, a modification of the Japanese Empire’s first series-produced tank.

After Japan's unconditional surrender at the end of World War 2, the shattered empire had been deprived of the opportunity of developing their own armoured vehicles. Here today we will show you the prototype Japanese ST-A1 medium tank!

The Type 3 Chi-Nu medium tank is rightly considered the best series-produced Japanese tank of World War II. It was created as the last line of defense in the case of an enemy invasion in Japan.

When talking about Japanese tanks, it’s impossible to forget the second most mass-produced tank in Japan in World War II. Meet the Type 97 Chi-Ha!

Time to continue the tale of the Japanese armored vehicle tech tree in War Thunder! Our special guest today is the Type 2 Ka-Mi tank, a mass-produced but a very unusual vehicle!

Naval part will be with us shortly - and there will be many unique vessels, some of which we have already presented to you via our Development blogs. In order that you don't get lost in what's planned, we have prepared an announced vehicle summary for you.

The Soviet D-3 torpedo boats were produced at the same time as the G-5 boats, but were capable of completing a far greater range of tasks than their competitors. Meet a new boat in the USSR tech tree!

The small T-14 Class torpedo boat used by the Japanese commanders will be one of the first vessels in War Thunder naval battles.

Our focus today is the American 77 ft Elco PT-20 Class starter torpedo boat, which is capable of performing very well even outside the ‘sandbox’.

With the Closed Beta Test of Naval forces coming soon, it is only logical to introduce another of the upcoming Royal Navy beauties. We would like to present to you the Fairmile C motor gun boat - the older brother of Fairmile D, already presented to you in a past devblog.

We present the most widely produced Soviet boat of the 1941 to 1945 WWII period – the G-5 motor torpedo boat.
