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.

Aircraft
A bug on some aircraft that caused hits to some parts of the fuselage to never lead to the wings tearing off has been fixed.
[/*]For rank VIIVIII aircraft without the detailed avionics damage model (no new electronics modules), on direct hits the following changes were made:
[/*]Avionics and fire-control equipment can no longer be disabled by fragmentation or kinetic damage.
[/*]Avionics and fire-control equipment can no longer be disabled by relatively small HE damage (i.e., less than from a hit by a smallwarhead AAM such as Stinger, or equivalent munitions of other types).
[/*]It is no longer possible to disable all weapons at once.
[/*]HE damage to the fuselage from a hit by a largewarhead AAM (e.g., AIM9 or larger) or equivalent munitions of other types now always disables the use of guided weapons, as well as the radar electronics and the RWR.
[/*]Blast damage from a hit by a smallwarhead AAM or equivalent munitions of other types has a chance greater than 50% to disable the use of guided weapons, and a separate chance greater than 50% to disable the radar electronics and RWR.
[/*]The chance to disable other systems from blast damage caused by hits from any AAM or equivalent munitions of other types has been reduced (down to 30%).
[/*]F/A-18E a bug that caused the 500 lb LDGP Mk 82 bombs and 1000 lb LDGP Mk 83 bombs to incorrectly display on some hardpoints has been fixed. (Report ).
[/*]JAS39E the height of the extended landing gear struts have been corrected to make overall height correct and to fix the bug with the part of the frontal strut piston clipping into the walls of the other half. (Report ).
[/*]
Ground Vehicles
In the test drive mission for high-rank Chinese vehicles the M1A1 HC tank and Leopard 2A5 tank have been switched places, so that the electro-optical APS of the M1A1 HC would not interfere with the ATGM guidance when shooting at other targets.
[/*]
Locations and Missions
Pradesh the altitude of clouds has been increased.
[/*]Ash River a bug with the ground textures appearance has been fixed. All temporarily disabled missions on this location have been brought back to the rotation.
[/*]
Game mechanics
A bug that caused the intecepted (shot down) munition to not deal damage to the player and their allies has been fixed (Report ).
[/*]The mechanics of crediting the destruction by the intercepted munitions has been corrected. If the intercepting player and the player who has launched the munition are in the different teams, then only the destruction of their enemies are credited to each one. If they are in the same team, the player who has launched the munition gets credit for the enemies, and the player who has intercepted it gets credit for the destruction of their teammates.
[/*]A bug that caused the destruction of the munition by the explosion of intercepted munition to be also counted as an interception has been fixed. This fix only affects the chain-destroyed munitions, so if one of the munitions destroyed by the explosion of the intercepted munition (or an explosion of any munition in the chain) will destroy an enemy, the destruction will be credited to the player that has intercepted the first munition in the chain.
