T26E4 Super Pershing Imagine a vehicle with a gun so big that it's necessary to counter its weight with a block of steel at the back of the turret. Now, add some scavenged Panther armour and you'll get the beast that is the Super Pershing! More...

H8K2 With 38 meters of wingspan, the H8K2 is not only among the largest aircraft in War Thunder, but in the entirety of World War II. Featuring five machine guns and five cannons, this Flying Boat is going to sting. More...

Volokolamsk Autumn, 1941. The German Wehrmacht is less than 150 kilometers away from Moscow, and the infamous and arctic Russian Winter is about to turn hot, as tanks and aircraft clash around the Volokolamsk region. More...

Do-335 "Pfeil" The twin-engined Do-335 comes with a propeller at both the front and back and will join German hangars in multiple versions with the next Update. Heavily armed, the "Pfeil" is surely going to be a player favourite. More...

T-44-100 This precursor of the famous Soviet T-54 medium tank combines the proven chassis of the T-44 with the fire-power of the Soviet Union's most powerful cannon designed for medium tanks, the 100 mm D-10T. More...

Falcon AA As the new top-ranked Self Propelled AA for Britain, the Falcon with two lightning-fast 30 mm auto-cannons sets the new standard for the coming generation of SPAAG in War Thunder. More...

P-61 "Black Widow" Eagerly awaited for a long time by fans of American aviation is the P-61 Black Widow, a technological marvel of it's time. Heavy fighter, assaulter, interceptor - name a task, and it will get done well double quick time. More...

KV-1S This modification of the mighty, but somewhat unwieldy KV-1 tank sacrifices armour for additional speed and maneuverability, offering new tactical possibilities to all fans of Soviet heavy armour. More...

Ki-83 The Ki-83 is the spiritual successor of Japan's Ki-45 and the master of turn fighting among heavy fighters. In the right hands, this unique combination of fire-power and maneuverability may very well be a game changer. More...

FV4004 Conway With the intention of countering the potential threat of the Soviet IS-3, the British FV4004 Conway was a modern SPG with a devastating 120 mm cannon. Read why this vehicle holds true potential to become an "IS Killer"! More...

S.25 Sunderland The British 'flying Hotel' is a thoroughly amazing aircraft; bombs, guns, space, reliability and a truly majestic appearance. An aircraft so good at whatever task it was set - it remained in service for 20 years More...
