We would like to introduce a brand-new German SPG that will reach us with Update 1.59 "Flaming Arrows" : the Raketenjagdpanzer-2!

The ASU, or aviadesantnaya samokhodnaya ustanovka (air-landing self-propelled gun), armed with an 85mm cannon, was developed in the post-war Soviet Union as a vehicle for Soviet airborne landing troops. It will complete the USSR light tree and become a top tank at rank IV.

American tank design at the end of the war stood out for its numerous intriguing projects, many of which were given material form but never reached the front. One of these will be coming to War Thunder soon™ in the American tech tree as a premium vehicle – the T29 heavy tank.

We would like to introduce you to our brand new cockpits for the American heavy fighter, the P-61 Black Widow and the German Bf 109B-1 fighter.

Today we will take a closer look to one of the first types of German tank: the PzKpfw III - PzKpfw III Ausf. B which will be added to War Thunder in the upcoming 1.59 "Flaming Arrows" update.

ASU-57 was the first series-produced SPG in the USSR that was developed specially to be delivered by air for airborne landing troops. The ASU-57 – aviadesantnaya samokhodnaya ustanovka, or air-landing self-propelled gun – will be a new addition to the Soviet light tank line and will be situated before the PT-76 on the tree.

For many players, personal success is no less important than their team’s success. We understand these feelings, and so, we would like to introduce an update for personal statistics.

One of the major focuses since the very beginning of War Thunder has been player immersion. Detailed aircraft, cockpits with instrumentation as well as stunning visuals. All of this now comes even more to live, thanks to recent developments in Virtual Reality technology.

Vehicles collision in the game environment is a common topic among players, Anton (Gaijin CEO and War Thunder Lead Developer) took some time out to try and explain exactly how our game interprets real world physics virtually.

In the previous devblog, we talked about battle ratings. We now have an announcement - a new mode, which is eagerly awaited by many of our players.

An introduction to some exciting news in our development, today we would like to summarise the existing mechanics in War Thunder.

We're continuing to improve the functionality of in-game communities – War Thunder's squadrons. This new batch of updates will make it easier to choose a squadron based on parameters and provides squadron members with new tools for implementing squadron policy.
