What's New

  • Pre-orders are now open for two new premium jet aircraft added to War Thunder. The Rank VIII American F/A-18D Hornet features extreme maneuverability alongside an expansive arsenal that includes up to six AIM-120B ARH missiles and precision-guided air-to-ground ordnance. Meanwhile, the Rank VI Chinese Q-5D is a supersonic strike jet optimized for low-tier ground attacks, trading air-to-air missiles for an increased payload capacity of up to eight bombs and enhanced countermeasures. 
  • Battle Ratings have been applied, and a matchmaking bug has been fixed so the bomber-per-team limitation works again in Air Realistic Battles.
