75 years ago representatives of the German Supreme Command signed the unconditional surrender in Berlin. Victory celebrations were held in all the countries and one of the most important events of that days was the Berlin Victory Parade of Allied forces.

Thousands of soldiers and officers from the US, Soviet, British and French armies marched in one formation and solemn speeches were made by Marshal Georgy Zhukov, General George Patton, Major-General Brian Robertson and General Marie-Pierre Koenig. It was one of those few moments in history when almost the whole of humanity felt like one.

In honor of the Victory in Europe anniversary, we created a virtual reenactment of that Berlin Victory Parade.

The parade of troops and ground vehicles in the War Thunder recreation will also be joined by the air forces of the Allied nations. This is a tribute to the “Mustang”, Spitfire”, “Yak” and other aircraft piloted by those that fought and won in World War II.

Happy Victory Day!

The HSTV-L, standing for High Survivability Test Vehicle Lightweight, is an American experimental tank, developed and built in the late 1970’s for the purpose of testing new concepts in tank design. The futuristic-looking HSTV-L will soon make its way onto the battlefields of War Thunder, arriving in the game with the upcoming major update!

In War Thunder, the HSTV-L will be a new light tank coming to the American ground forces tree with the release of the upcoming update. Combining excellent mobility, a small profile and a powerful, fast firing medium caliber smoothbore cannon, the HSTV-L should, unlike its opposition, easily catch the attention of tankers who enjoy the excellent dynamics offered by light and mobile vehicles!





The HSTV-L is coming to War Thunder as a new high tier American light tank with the release of the upcoming update. In the meantime, stay sharp and keep a wary eye on the news for more information regarding the next major update coming to the game very soon. Until then, happy hunting tankers!

The Char D2 is a French interwar medium tank, developed by Renault as a cheaper alternative to the heavier and more expensive Char B1. After having seen fierce action during the Invasion of France in 1940, the Char D2 will soon fight under the flag of the republic once more on the virtual battlefields of War Thunder in the upcoming major update!

In War Thunder, the Char D2 will be a new medium tank arriving at the lower ranks of the French ground forces tree, with the release of the upcoming update. Featuring characteristics similar to that of some other French tanks at its rank, the Char D2, with its thick armor and punchy 47mm gun, is the perfect vehicle for attacking enemy-held objectives and supporting allies on the battlefield!





As already mentioned, the Char D2 is primarily armed with the 47mm SA-35 cannon - a widespread weapon, commonly found on many French low tier ground vehicles. Known for its relatively high rate of fire of 15 rounds/min and good ballistic properties, the SA-35 cannon can comfortably deal with most opposition it may face on the battlefield. Furthermore, the Char D2 is also fitted with two 7.5mm MAC machine guns.
