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.

Its fixed! 105
There was a bug that caused the physical properties of trams and wagons to be out of this world! Instead of moving around on the ground as normal when they were collided with or towed, they began to bounce and fly up and down, almost like a ball in our Tank Football mode. It looked quite funny but this obviously has no place in regular battles. Rejoice, it has now been fixed.
Another bug caused something very strange to happen. When a helicopter was destroyed or even when an already downed helicopter was shot at and hit, the thermal imager or night vision device of the player who took the shot and got the destruction or hit would turn off. This was super annoying and strange to say the least, and has now been fixed.
There was a much more serious bug that affected naval vehicles. After launching a hydroplane, ships lost the ability to zoom in at enemies. The zoom would turn on for a split second, and then the camera would jerk to the furthest position, making it more difficult to aim than usual. Thanks to your quick report on this issue, we managed to fix it.
Its known that for optimization purposes, distant objects in games are displayed in less detail, and when approaching them, theyre replaced by full-fledged models. However, we noticed that low-detail vegetation objects begin to appear at much closer distances than they should have. Weve fixed this now.
Patch notes reflect only key changes, meaning they may not include a complete list of all improvements made. Additionally, War Thunder is constantly being updated and some changes may not require an update. Changes reflected in patch notes are formed by taking reactions and requests of the community from the bug reporting service , forums and other official platforms into account. Bug fixes and changes are implemented in order of importance, for example a game-breaking bug will be worked on and implemented sooner.
Today, weve rounded up and will be going over some of the bug fixes and improvements that weve made to the game today and over the past few weeks. If youd like to catch up on every fixed bug, then be sure to check out the changelog section on our website .
