😄Thunder Show: NUCLEAR CRUISE

Welcome to Thunder Show and the most wonderful moments of the past week!

▶️AML-90: Don’t Slouch!

Some combat vehicles get a special kind of attention from War Thunder players, and sometimes even earn their own nicknames, although not always flattering ones. The French AML-90 wheeled light tank and its South African cousin, the Eland 90, are perfect examples. Today, we’re taking both of them for a spin to see why players have grown so fond of these little machines.

▶️Tanks in the Battle of Kursk

The summer of 1943 was hot in more ways than one. Near Kursk, one of the largest battles of the Second World War was about to begin. Hundreds of thousands of soldiers, along with thousands of armored vehicles and aircraft, were concentrated on both sides of the front. The Wehrmacht was preparing Operation Citadel, hoping to regain the strategic initiative after its defeat at Stalingrad. The fields of the Belgorod and Oryol regions became a vast staging ground, where thousands of fighting vehicles started their engines in the early morning haze.

▶️How Aircraft Stay Connected to Their Weapons

War Thunder features guided weapons with all kinds of different guidance systems. Today, instead of focusing on any one type of missile or bomb, we’re going to look at how aircraft communicate with their weapons after they’ve already been launched or released.

🌌🌌🌌Meet the “Sky Odyssey” Major Update!

Welcome to Sky Odyssey! This major update introduces a diverse selection of new vehicles, including aircraft and tanks from Greece, the CA-27, the Indian Arjun Mk 1, and the Indonesian Harimau. Additionally, Darwin Hill, set within the landscapes of the Falkland Islands, has been added as a new map for Ground Battles. Beyond new vehicles and maps, enhancements include updated reward mechanics for instances when enemy players abandon a tank or vessel and improved overall survivability for bomber aircraft. There’s also multiple user interface refinements in the hangar, notably to the preset functionality and submodes appearing under the “To Battle!” button, including Nuclear Escalation, Naval Confrontation and Bullet Hell, which are now permanent modes.

‼️Be sure to check out the changelog to see all the improvements, vehicles and other features that we’ve included in this major update.

▶️Lightly Armored Sharpshooters: Modern Light Tanks

In the second half of the 20th century, the traditional weight-based classification of tanks became a thing of the past. Today, the focus is more often on highly-versatile main battle tanks, or MBTs, and combat support vehicles. Different countries interpret the latter category in different ways. Sometimes it includes tracked vehicles with powerful guns — that are a bit like spiritual successors to classic light tanks. Today, we’ll look at the most interesting vehicles in this category in War Thunder, from Rank 6 onward.
