War Thunder already offers a highly detailed experience in military aviation and ground forces combat, giving players access to a Guinness World Record breaking number of aircraft, as well as an abundance of tanks and other combat vehicles - and the number is constantly rising.
You can feel the unmatched intensity of aerial dogfights in a fighter, the decisive power of commanding a heavy strategic bomber or the heat of battle in a ground attacker, delivering precision strikes against your enemies. Alternatively, you can join the spearhead of armoured vehicles, fighting for dominance over the battlefield on the ground: Man a heavy tank with impressive armour and firepower, use the maneuverability of a medium or light tank to your advantage, or support your team by screening the skies with your anti aircraft vehicle - the choice is yours!
In the future, the game will also allow players to ‘set sail’ by commanding a variety of warships in the fight over the control of the world’s oceans, giving the game a truly epic scale.
Master your vehicles through both upgrades and personal experience in an environment that is constantly expanding and rewarding the personal skill of the player. Organise your efforts in one of the countless player squadrons and become an ace pilot or tanker - or both! Our thriving and welcoming community of millions of players is also actively participating in the game’s ongoing development, offering custom content through War Thunder Live, such as skins, missions and even vehicles.

open testing for rank IX vehicles[/h1]
After serious preparation, we’ve begun to expand War Thunder’s research trees up to rank IX. Additionally, we’re introducing a brand new vehicle type - combat helicopters!
Almost from the very beginning of War Thunder’s development, we received tons of requests and thoughtful suggestions from fans for the introduction of modern military vehicles. We ran exhaustive in-game tests and, before the game’s release, implemented specific mechanics that would allow us to considerably expand the game’s time frame to accommodate combat vehicles from various eras.
Based on War Thunder’s expanded research trees, we’ll begin to introduce air combat and armoured vehicles up to rank IX. The top vehicles at this rank will include well-known machines of mass destruction, like the M1A2 Abrams, Т-14 “Armata”, F-22 Raptor, Т-50 PАК FА and many more. From the cockpit of these modern combat vehicles, players will experience reactive armour, unleash smokescreens, and deliver death from the skies with precision weaponry. Full research trees for all nations will be published at a later date, so stay tuned for that news.
So, without further ado, we’d like to invite players to participate in the first open mass testing of some of these rank IX vehicles. Players will be able to drive the Leopard 2A5 and the Т-90А , as well as pilot some of the the very first helicopters in the game, the Russian MI-35 transport and attack helicopter and the American GM-64 of the German air force. The test will be held in a special event, which can be accessed and joined directly from your hangar.
We hope you’ll enjoy testing these new vehicles as much as we’ve enjoyed implementing them. Thanks to your invaluable participation in this test, we’ll be able to build on what War Thunder does best and offer an even better experience for our fans.
See you on the battlefield!
