The AMD 35 SA35 will be a new light vehicle coming to War Thunder as one of the main prizes of the upcoming spring crafting event. This nimble armored car will become available to participants of the event as a new rank I premium vehicle of the French ground forces tree. Keen to find out more about it? Then join us as we dive deeper into the details!

Being already familiar in its standard modification to tankers from the starting ranks of the French ground forces tree, the AMD 35 is highly regarded for its excellent mobility and compact size. However, being only equipped with a semi-automatic 25 mm cannon does mean that commanders of this vehicle often encountered issues dealing with more heavily armored opponents or fighting enemies at longer engagement distances. This experimental variant of the AMD 35 means to address these issues by offering tankers a much higher caliber weapon in the form of the also familiar 47 mm SA35 cannon. Trading rate of fire for a more powerful caliber results in the AMD 35 now being capable of posing a more serious threat to an expanded circle of potential enemies.



While the chassis of the vehicle remains the same, the turret of this AMD 35 is vastly different. For starters, its size has clearly increased compared to the familiar standard modification of the vehicle in order to facilitate the larger gun. The larger turret also increases the vehicle’s silhouette, making it easier for hostile forces to detect the vehicle.

The larger turret, however, doesn’t affect much on the vehicle’s weight. The vehicle retains its excellent top speed of up to 72 km/h, meaning it’s still more than capable of taking the enemy by surprise once it unexpectedly makes its appearance at a flank.



This exotic new variant of the AMD 35 armored car will soon appear in War Thunder ground battles and tankers will have the chance to add it to their collection by participating in the upcoming spring crafting event. Stay tuned to the news to find out what other exciting prizes the event has in store for its participants. Until then, happy hunting tankers!

Your crews have nothing to do between battles and your technicians just dawdle around and chatter in the hangar? Get them into the gym!

Soon, the crews and the hangar tech guys will be able to take care of their health, and at the same time achieve for you unique game content - click on the characters in the hangar and send any of them for training! With the time spent in working out, they will be able to get you special titles, decals, decorations and loading screens dedicated to sports, wrestling and a healthy lifestyle.

The training of crews and technicians is available when they are free from battles. The training progress will happen all the time while the game client is open and the crews are working out. If during training you decide to go into battle, to resume training you will need to send the crews back to the gym.

Who will be the real boss of the gym? We'll find out soon! Stay tuned for the announcement of your hangar personnel training program! Go hard!

Custom hangar functionality is temporarily disabled due to a bug that causes the game to crash when launching the client.

After the issue is fixed, the user hangar will be available again if it was installed previously. In some cases, it may be necessary to restart the game to fix this bug

The current provided changelog reflects the major changes within the game as part of this Update. Some updates, additions and fixes may not be listed in the provided notes. War Thunder is constantly improving and specific fixes may be implemented without the client being updated.

You have probably already heard about a top secret base built in the USSR in late 1950s and known as Facility 3826. They have found many uses - domestic and professional. But thanks to the “Atomic Heart” project, robots now have decent battle abilities and battle vehicles have a place in War Thunder, of course.



We are introducing a separate lineup of secret Soviet robots created in collaboration with Atomic Heart! Here you will find the most diverse vehicles. For example, MA-9 Belyash welding robot inspired by chimpanzees which can easily climb even on vertical surfaces and this makes it a perfect scout. Designed for repair and construction work, the NA-T256 Natasha is equipped with a jetpack that allows it to launch vertically and reach speeds of up to 95 km/h. It is also armed with anti-personnel mines, a rocket launcher and Katyusha 3.0 multiple rocket launcher, making it indispensable in support. Air attack equipment such as the MTU-7 Bumblebee truck with laser system or a small-sized mobile drone LUC-1 Owl with ShKAS automatic machine guns are also widely represented in the lineup.

Thanks to the detailed documentation received from Scientific and Industrial Facility 3826, battle robotics will be embodied into War Thunder with all certainty.

Wait for it on the battlefields!
