Tor-M1 and new options for SAM based SPAAGs


The Russian-built Tor-M1 surface-to-air missile system comes to the game as a new top-tier SPAAG in the Chinese tech tree. The vehicle brings new mechanics in launching missiles and tracking targets - check em out!

Tor-M1, SAM SPAAG, China, rank VII


Features:
  • Two guidance modes
  • Capable of tracking and firing at two targets
  • Good mobility
  • Limited ammo
  • Exposed profile

In War Thunder, the Tor-M1 missile system becomes the top SPAAG of the Chinese armored vehicle tech tree. This is the first SAM SPAAG with vertical launch in the game, as well as the first system capable of firing two missiles at one target or indeed different targets. With the introduction of the Tor-M1 with vertical launch, a new target engagement mode has been added to the game - the half-lead mode. This mode targets the missile at a lead point along the course of the aircraft, and requires the distance data to the target. The half-lead mode allows a reduction in the available overload when firing targets with high course angles. Commanders of the Tor-M1 have a choice between the classic three-point guidance mode and the half-lead mode, or it can just put the automatic choice of the guiding mode. You can toggle the targeting methods by assigning a button to the Switching missile targeting lead method option in the controls menu.

Tor-M1 is capable of engaging two missiles at one or two different targets. To do this, both targets must be in the 15x15 degree sector, and the second target has to be selected with the Select Radar/IRST target to lock on button. Missiles in the Tor-M1 have a mortar-like launch, and do a zoom-climb while being fired at the low targets to avoid collisions with objects on the ground.

Tor-M1 is a purely anti-aircraft vehicle, it almost does not have the ability to hit armored vehicles (the deadzone range is about a kilometer), there are not even machine guns to mark a target for allies. With its huge radar, the Tor-M1 has a very high profile, so commanders need to use proper cover against enemy tanks. In addition, you should also remember about the limited Tor-M1 ammunition capacity, which is only 8 missiles. But all these are not as relevant as Tors combat abilities. In fact, only Tor-M1 is able to cover the entire team against enemy aircraft. The missiles engage any air target at any altitude or speed, while the extended control flight time allows you to hit targets at distances up to 12 km!
Tor-M1 is already available for research in the Chinese armored vehicles tech tree. This is one of the most technologically advanced combat vehicles in the game - be sure to try it in the game!

  • Available DLCs

  • War Thunder is a free-to-play, cross-platform MMO combat game for Windows, Linux, Mac and PlayStation®4 dedicated to military vehicles used in and around World War II and the Korean War. In War Thunder, you can take part in major battles on land, in the air, and at sea, fighting with real players from all over the world in a continuously developing environment.

    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.

    War Thunder has something for everyone. Play cooperative games with your friends on Windows PC, Linux, Mac or PlayStation 4 against AI, or squad up for a PvP battle in a difficulty setting matching your play style, ranging from Arcade to Simulator using Mouse and Keyboard, Gamepad or Joystick.
