Floats!

Summer, seaside and seaplanes. That can only mean one thing - Its back!

Panavia Tornado: Common Cause

Building your own warplanes was always prohibitively expensive, but it became even more difficult after WW2, with Europe being in a state of economic decline. Even though Italy, France and the UK were still capable of designing new vehicles on their own, creating a new, truly modern strike aircraft definitely required a joint effort across the continent. That’s the story of the Panavia Tornado multirole combat aircraft, developed by combined efforts of France, Germany and a number of other countries.

War Bonds: "Skilled Marksman"

Check out the War Bonds store and the bonds that you earn by completing Battle Pass challenges! As usual, we’ve prepared decals, decorations, player icons, camouflages, a new stylish pin-up that starts a new series, and six premium vehicles. The themed decal trophy will allow you to complete the new Zodiac collection, and reward you with a special decal if you manage to collect every decal!

The Hunter FGA.9 is Available on the Anniversary of its First Flight!

On July 20th 1951, the first flight of the Hawker Hunter jet fighter took place. The Hunter saw extensive use in dozens of conflicts around the world and is still in service with the Zimbabwean Air Force. A total of 1,972 Hunters were produced.

The T-2 Early is Available on the Anniversary of its First Flight!

Introducing the Esports Trophy III

Introducing the new Esports Trophy III, featuring camouflages created by authors from WT.Live! This new trophy includes 20 camouflages for various vehicles: 10 aircraft and 10 tanks. For this new trophy, we wanted to honor mid-tier vehicles with unique creations from our artists.

Battle Pass Vehicles: PBM-5A Mariner

Today we’re taking a look at the PBM-5A Mariner flying boat, which will be the main aircraft reward in the upcoming Battle Pass season!

ADATS: Surface-to-EVERYTHING missile

Can a close range SPAA fight tanks? In the 1980s, the US military was seriously considering this possibility. After all, around that time, there was a very intriguing and highly unusual project suggested by the Swiss defense company Oerlikon: a special Air Defense Anti-Tank System that used missiles and was equally effective against targets on the ground and in the air.

Following the Roadmap: Construction of Objects and Trenches for some Vehicles

Today, we’d like to discuss one of the Roadmap points, which is the construction of objects and trenches on the map.
