The rotation is joined by two new maps, “Breslau” and “Spaceport”, the latter previously appearing in the April Fools’ Warfare 2077 event in War Thunder. This will offer “more open battlefields” around the city center. As for Breslau, it is inspired by the Siege of Breslau (Wrocław) focused on melee fights.

We are proud to announce the official release of our game. As we met all the goals we set for ourselves in the early stages of development, the War Thunder Open Beta ends with Update 1.65 “The Way of the Samurai”, an update that also includes Japanese ground forces, cockpits for all aircraft, and tons of improvements and bug fixes.
The road to the release of War Thunder has been a fantastic journey, full of development, from the very beginning we have been actively working on the development and content in the regular updates of the game. Our commitment to the game has provided players with millions of hours of passionate gameplay and we have gained many, many players as well as veterans who have been with us from the very beginning. We would like to thank all our fans, we are very grateful for your continued support for our project and we look forward to your continued support in this release.
We will continue to develop the game we all know and love, but you won’t see the same major changes in the direction we were all in testing, the gameplay and basic mechanics may now calm down and we can finally focus on giving the game some shine and content, on she deserves. The additions will continue, there are still many military vehicles to add, our map makers will continue to create stunning views and beautiful landscapes to wage warfare, of course there are still exciting features to add – such as World War Mode, new nations, new tournaments and not only.
We are pleased to share with you, our players, an already completed battle simulator, and we look forward to even happier moments together as we continue on the path of the warrior.
Their experiences and opinions would likely differ from what we saw in earlier stages of the testing. Would their expectations match ours? We couldn’t be completely sure.
The idea of mixed battles, realistic damage and a physical vehicle model along with simple and easy controls – the main distinguishing features of War Thunder – quickly found support in the community. The number of players grew and new details were constantly added to the development plan based on feedback and requests from our players. We experimented with the game modes, adapted our servers to higher loads, and at the same time developed new types of vehicles.
Ground vehicles have always been designed and used with due regard to this possibility. Major land or sea battles almost always required air support. This means that ground battles, and especially naval battles, are not complete without airplanes, while airplanes alone are often enough.
UPDATE: The “Direct Hit” update is now available! Follow the link to download War Thunder and experience the latest expansion for FREE!
War Thunder Launches as Free to Play Title on Xbox One with Combat Helicopters
We started paid access to War Thunder on Xbox One in June, and these first three months were extremely helpful in getting the game ready for free-to-play. Now War Thunder is available for free on the Microsoft Store, and for this occasion we’ve prepared a huge content update.
The update is codenamed The Valkyries and introduces combat helicopters to the game. These terrifying war machines first proved their combat effectiveness during the Vietnam War, and today no military conflict is complete without their involvement. The first countries to field helicopters in the Battle of War Thunder are the United States and the USSR, with such iconic rotorcraft as the UH-1 Huey and Mi-24 Hind (you can buy the premium versions of both as DLC in the Microsoft Store). Other nations will get their share of future updates.
As helicopters are the most modern type of military equipment found in War Thunder, you must own at least one Age 5 vehicle to start researching them as the newly added M1IP Abrams and T-80B. To really spoil that “Red Dawn” itch you didn’t realize, we’ve also introduced a new Combined Battle Map called The American Desert. Its appearance is reminiscent of the real little towns of Arizona or Nevada from the 1960s, and one of its coolest features is a working railroad – watch out for an oncoming freight train while driving in your tank!
As for air combat, in addition to the new Vietnam map, we are going to test helicopters against airplanes in regular air battles as well as in a dedicated game mode helicopters versus helicopters. Here, player feedback will be invaluable. Another good news for Xbox One pilots is the addition of T.Flight Hotas One joystick support – now you can truly immerse yourself in the game by playing from the cockpit view.
Xbox One players also have unlimited access to the Naval Closed Beta, which is currently available in the Events menu, and loads of exclusive premium vehicles in the Microsoft Store. The newest addition is the Beginner’s Kit, which includes the M3A1 light tank and a decal from the United States Marine Corps. We welcome all new players and good luck on the battlefield!

What’s New In The War Thunder Direct Hit Update
It looks like Direct Hit will be quite a major update for War Thunder. While there are many balance adjustments and added details to existing vehicles, Direct Hit also adds a lot of new vehicles.
First of all, the BV 138 C-1, which offers a German WWII flying boat. Second, we have the USS Pittsburgh, an American heavy cruiser. There is also the MiG-27M, an aircraft that can reach Mach 1.8 and introduces guided bomber planes. The 2S25 Sprut-SD is a light tank available in the USSR / Russia armored vehicle development tree, but you also have the long-range Avro Shackleton.
Also presented is an updated test drive that moves from Kursk to a new location. Gaijin advises that this will involve different types of terrain and a more dynamic elevation, which will allow players to “get a much better understanding” of the vehicle’s performance.
The rotation is joined by two new maps, “Breslau” and “Spaceport”, the latter previously appearing in the April Fools’ Warfare 2077 event in War Thunder. This will offer “more open battlefields” around the city center. As for Breslau, it is inspired by the Siege of Breslau (Wrocław) focused on melee fights.

Also new to War Thunder is the “little truck that could” – Ystervark. Developed in the mid-1980s, this light South African mobile anti-aircraft unit is equipped with a 20mm GAI C01 autocannon mounted on a fully rotating open turret at the rear of the vehicle’s cargo area.
New battleship – The HMS Marlborough
Sailors rejoice as the new Iron Duke-class superdreadnought arrives in War Thunder. Built just before the outbreak of World War I, HMS Marlborough is a British rank 5 battleship boasting 13.5 inch main caliber guns and better armor than previous British ships. The new battleship sits at the top of the British Bluewater tree, so get ready to climb up to get to this formidable war machine.
HMS Marlborough boasts a raised main battery consisting of five twin 13.5 ”turrets, a new caliber of weapons that will be extremely useful in the fight against other nations’ naval forces. It also includes a tasty secondary weapon, including 12 six-inch cannons to deal with smaller units at close range. It also includes submersible torpedo tubes on both sides of the ship’s hull that can fire at enemies at close range. However, be careful when attacking enemy forces, as this ship is especially vulnerable from the air.
In addition to all these amazing extras, fans can also enjoy the new MiGs and the American T26E5 heavy tank. We can’t list all the changes here, so please head over to the official War Thunder website to see the full changelog including all new content included in the update.

M1128 Stryker MGS, light tank, USA, VII rank
American AFV from 2000, developed to support infantry operations thanks to a combination of high mobility and lethal firepower. The M1128 Stryker MGS is armed mainly with the 105mm M68A1E8 gun – a further modification of the M68 gun, already familiar to most veterans of the American tankers in the game.
