War Thunder News

We are pleased to present you with three new locations from the upcoming War Thunder update 1.91!





This location is designed for Ground Forces mixed battles on short and mid engagement ranges. Harsh clashes will take place here, among the port buildings and cargo cranes. Fill this labyrinth of shipping containers with the thunder of guns and melting armor!





These picturesque floating rocks topped with emerald green could be found only in Palau archipelago. The most dramatic sea battles for control over the Pacifics will take place in turquoise bays and scattered rocks of the “Palau Islands”. Full speed ahead, captains!





This naval battles location was inspired by the landscapes of Japan and the Yokohama trade port. A scenic East Asian bay will be open for naval vessels and aircraft when update 1.91 goes live! See you there soon!

Admiral Hipper is the lead ship of her class of three heavy cruisers, built for the Kriegsmarine during the mid 1930s. After having seen extensive use during WWII, Admiral Hipper is now ready to make an appearance in War Thunder too, becoming the first German heavy cruiser, soon available to all captains with update 1.91!

In War Thunder, Admiral Hipper will be the first heavy cruiser, arriving to rank IV of the German naval tree with the release of the upcoming update 1.91. Combining devastating firepower, armour protection and a large crew complement, Admiral Hipper will truly justify the “heavy” part of its heavy cruiser classification and will offer captains with an experience like no other ship of this class does!





The highly anticipated Admiral Hipper is arriving to War Thunder naval battles with the release of the upcoming update 1.91 and will formally become the first heavy cruiser available to German captains. Until then, calm seas and happy hunting!

During the mid 1990s, the Italian military started a modernization program for the SIDAM 25 SPAA, which allowed the vehicle to carry surface-to-air missiles. Coming soon as part of the upcoming update 1.91, the new SIDAM 25 Mistral will become the first SAM-equipped SPAA available to Italian tankers in War Thunder!

The SIDAM 25 Mistral will come to War Thunder as part of the upcoming update 1.91 and will be the first SPAA vehicle fitted with SAMs available to Italian tankers in the game. Much like the 2S6 Tunguska, already familiar to players, the SIDAM 25 will offer tankers a mobile anti-air platform which combines both conventional gun armament with an effective missile system.





All in all, the new SIDAM 25 Mistral will offer fans of Italian ground vehicles an improved version of an already familiar SPAA platform that comes with its own unique set of advantages and disadvantages, which tankers will have to successfully master in order to get the most out of this vehicle.

This vehicle will be assigned to the top rank of the Italian ground forces tree.

The Supermarine Swift is a British jet fighter, developed in the early 1950s as a stopgap measure for the RAF’s lack of modern fighter aircraft at the time. In update 1.91, War Thunder pilots may look forward to the introduction of two modifications of the Swift, along with its final variant equipped with air-to-air missiles!

In the years following the end of WW2, Great Britain focused their efforts on rebuilding their nation from the devastation caused by the war as the British government didn’t consider a new war possible in the following ten years. Under these circumstances, developing new military technology wasn’t considered a priority in most cases.





The Supermarine Swift F.1 and F.7 are on their way to player hangars and will be available to all pilots at the fifth rank of the British aviation tree, with the release of the upcoming War Thunder update 1.91. Until then, stay tuned for further updates regarding the latest War Thunder developments. Clear skies, pilots!

The Re.2005 is a late war Italian fighter design, highly praised for its excellent performance and often considered as one of the best axis fighters of WWII. Despite only seeing limited production and service, the much anticipated Re.2005 Sagittario will soon become available to all pilots in War Thunder with the release of the upcoming update 1.91!

Development on the Re.2005 began in 1941, with the preliminary design work already being completed by the end of the year, despite the fact that the aircraft was a completely new design and independent of previous Reggiane projects. The Re.2005 was part of Italy’s Serie 5 fighter program, and like the competing G.55 and C.205, was meant to be fitted with the Daimler-Benz DB605 engine or its respective Italian licence-built version - the FIAT RA.1050 RC.58 Tifone.





Be sure to add the Re.2005 to your hangar as it becomes available to all pilots with the release of the upcoming update 1.91. In the meantime, make sure to stay tuned to the news to be kept in the loop about any further developments concerning the next major update coming to the game very soon. Until then, clear skies pilots!
