Imminent Breakthrough
Imminent Breakthrough is a co-op PvE-mission, where you are tasked to fight off the enemy breakthrough using various weapons, including some unique ones! The Sturmtiger self-propelled assault gun, the Goliath tracked mine, PaK 40 anti-tank cannon, Flak 36 stationary AA-gun, as well as legendary piston-engined fighters Fw 190 and Bf 109 everything is an asset to victory!
The Sturmtiger self-propelled assault gun was designed to destroy buildings and fortifications, but its deadly 380mm rockets with 135 kg TNT warheads add nothing to the chances of any vehicle on the battlefield. Victory loves preparation: due to an extremely long reload time the Sturmtiger must take care of every shot. But in the Imminent Breakthrough mission you wont have to wait for each round, as at any time you may switch to another vehicle, either stationary or not. How do you like one of the first combat drones ever created?
Meet the Goliath - a tracked, remotely controlled anti-tank charge! Its armor wont stop any tank shots, but its small size allows the Goliath to deliver deadly explosives unnoticed. Switch to the controls of the tracked mine by pressing a dedicated button - it is displayed on your action bar. You may remotely control your Goliath mine, switch back to the Sturmtiger controls, or detonate the mine - pretty much the same as unmanned aerial vehicles, recently added to War Thunder. Although the mine drones speed is not high so you'll probably want to deliver a hit faster? Then meet the artillery!
The most common German anti-tank cannon of WWII. Its shells were capable of hitting almost all Allied tanks. However powerful shots forced it to dig into the ground. Switching to the cannon is available at any time if there is at least one battle ready and unoccupied cannon uncontrolled by other players. Controls are no different from the ground vehicles you used in the past with only one exception that the cannon can not be moved - it is a stationary firing point. Since it can not be rotated it can only control the area that is in its field of view. Because of that it is especially important to choose the right moment to switch to the PaK 40. If the cannon is destroyed - no problem, you will return to the Sturmtiger control and after some time the cannon will recover and will be available again and with full ammunition..
Allied aircraft dominate the air and you must defend your ground vehicles with all your might! The familiar Sd.Kfz. 6/2 FlaK 36 autocannon will help you with that - this time in a stationary version. Switching to the anti-aircraft cannon and using it is completely identical to controlling an anti-tank cannon.
Two legendary aircraft of the Luftwaffe - the familiar Gustav and Foks are available to fight air and ground targets. The usual mechanics of aircraft events from ground AB battles await you, only the requirements for the flight out are slightly different. You get the right to fly the Fw 190 F-8 with a bomb load for every 8 destroyed enemies and for the Fw 190 A / Bf 109 G without bomb load you need to destroy 3 enemies.

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.
