In this update, 3 formidable aircraft join the top ranks, including the F-111A which breaks records regarding its payload! Every nation in the game has received at least one ground vehicle, some of these include the M109 “King of Battle” for multiple nations, the long-awaited Type 81 (C) for Japan, the Vickers Mk.11 for Britain and the incredibly unique Object 775 for the USSR! The MH-60L DAP and Spike-capable helicopters have also arrived, and in addition to this, premium Battleships for Britain and Japan. Several new mechanics have been implemented, as well as the very interesting Flanders map, which features an all-new era adaptive format.
All 10 nations in War Thunder get a ground vehicle in this update! We’ve added the M109, a true king of battle to the USA, Britain, Germany, Italy and Israel in the form of the M109A1, M109G and M109! In addition, the long-awaited Type 81 (C) for Japan, a large and very capable Vickers Mk.11 light tank for Britain, plus the super flat Object 775 for the USSR. Overall, there’s 15 ground vehicles in this update, so be sure to check them all out.
Welcome to the aircraft that have been added in this update: the F-111A Aardvark for the USA, JH-7A for China and the MiG-29G for Germany — 3 formidable top-tier jets. The F-111A is able to carry a huge payload of 50 x 500 lb bombs, 26 x 750 lb bombs (among several other bomb types) and a staggering 456 x Mighty Mouse rockets, which is a War Thunder record!
The infamous Black Hawk comes to the game in the US research tree as the special MH-60L DAP variant! In addition to this, Italy gets the AH-129D that can carry devastating Spike missiles, and so do France on the Tiger HAD Block 2. Overall, these helicopters will help bolster the top ground lineups of these nations.
We’ve added two Premium Battleships for Britain and Japan, which are available to purchase right from our store: HMS Iron Duke for Britain, and IJN Yamashiro for Japan! These Battleships were built in the WWI era and are certainly strong against other ships of this type. In addition to this, several ships including one for the USSR, Germany, Italy and France. The full list is below.
- HMS "Iron Duke" (Rank 5, Britain)
- 3000 Golden Eagles
- 30 days Premium Account
- IJN Yamashiro (Rank 5, Japan)
- 3000 Golden Eagles
- 30 days Premium Account
We’ve added new mechanics to APFSDS and APDS shells. Discarded sabot casings that separate from APFSDS and APDS rounds now have their own model and can travel up to 1km and even penetrate thin armor! We’ve also added three modes to some IR missiles: photocontrast, infrared and automatic — check out our informational dev blog on that here.
In addition to this, several types of bushes found on maps can be destroyed with MG fire.
Flanders has been added to the map rotation in this major update! This map is special — assets on this map change depending on the type of vehicles used. For example, if you’re using WWII vehicles, you’ll see a fallen airship and other older buildings. If you’re using more modern vehicles, you’ll instead see a fallen modern troop transport aircraft and tourist center buildings. Check it out!
There’s a lot more!
In this update, we’ve fixed several bugs, added new armor-piercing bombs to some WWII aircraft, changed several missions and maps (some removals, spawn & capture point changes, more low, medium, high and top ranked airfields). The ability to expand/collapse the action bar in battle has also been implemented. All bug fixes and changes are mentioned in the changelog below — check them out and enjoy!

Why do bases now take much longer to respawn in air RB?
Everyone takes bombs to the match, this change didn't help at all :(
Will the Playstation update be dropping soon? Been staring at the screen since 8am 🤓
Great update. Skill bonuses for rp might be one of the best things you have ever added. It indirectly reduces the relative effectiveness of bots, while rewarding people who learn the game and try to do well. It will also encourage people to not one-death-leave as the rewards will be much better if they get a few more kills
Wait they released the skill bonus? Am i blind?
My god, Im crying now. Even a losing match, If I play well I get a good reward!
Another update without A-6 Intruder in tech tree :(
Imagine the A-6F being added when AMRAAMs are introduced
THANK YOU SO MUCH GAIJIN. As a german main i really appreciate a new mid teir he slinger (you shall be reciving my moneys very soon :D)
soooo gaijin, can sweden get a 4th gen fighter ?
Prob in the Last Major in the Year
Why is the HMS Iron Duke literally a top of the line battleship on a rank too low btw? It's basically a copy-paste HMS Marlborough. Don't get me wrong, as an ex-britan-main I'm always happy to see britain get nice stuff. But this is is bad practise, repeating your previous mistakes of adding op premiums, then having to uprank them later.
also... the CIRITs on the italian premium heli fall off right before target at longer-ish ranges. Aiming above the target results in direct hit, so it's not a kinetical/momentum problem. I don't know if it always has been like this, but right now (since its re-appearance at least) Its guidance is trash, please update it.
Wow, new map what's not another city barrel swordplay cqb trash, who are you and what did you do to Gaijin??
Where is the bonus for players that start researching a new nation and have top-tier vehicles in other nations? Can we expect it before the december patch?
Outstanding update, Gaijin! Well done! ❤️🔥
