Update 2.11.0.92

  • A bug which would occur when activating “Target lock” or “Sight stabilization” on aircraft, which could then lead to the display of distant ground vehicles for a short period of time, has been fixed.
  • A bug which would cause naval AI gunners to potentially shoot at vehicle compartments which were already destroyed has been fixed.
  • A rare client crash which would occur in air Arcade battles when selecting a vehicle after the player's aircraft was lost has been fixed.
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.

Competition - Find the Differences

Soldiers! Intelligence needs you to find the differences between these pictures!
We do not know the exact number, but it's something between 1-10. Enemy spies have removed certain details from the bottom picture. We need your help to find them!

Spot the differences and list them in the comments below, like in this example:
  • 1 - D4
  • 2 - A11
  • 3 - E2

You have 24h! After that, we will check the comments and select 3 users at random that have posted the right answers and reward those people with 100GE each!
[h3]Terms[/h3]
  • You can comment only once.
  • Copy/pasted comments will be ignored.
  • List only existing differences. If you list too many or not enough, you will be disqualified.
  • Reward will be added to your game account within 3 working days.


Do you like the tank? It's a Jagdpanzer VI Jagdtiger (rank V, Germany) in the special 'Wutend' camouflage (camo available on the game market).

Mosquito first flight



On November 25th, 1940, the British de Havilland Mosquito multirole combat aircraft made its first flight. The Mosquito FB.Mk.VI and other modifications were versatile vehicles that perfectly suited the role of a bomber interceptor, and, thanks to various suspended weaponry, were capable of destroying enemy ground vehicles.
