Let’s meet in the new location for naval battles from upcoming War Thunder update 1.95!

New Zealand is one of the most beautiful places on Earth. Blossoming meadows and green hills neighbour rocky valleys and steep mountains, while the coastline is equally varied with picturesque bays and fjords.





We have created a new location for War Thunder naval battles based on the terrain of the southern island. “New Zealand cape” will appear in the rotation of naval battles with the release of War Thunder update 1.95.

HMAS Tobruk is one of two late so-called “Australian Battle-class” destroyers, built in the immediate postwar years for the Royal Australian Navy. Despite seeing a relatively short service life, HMAS Tobruk is soon making its way into the game with update 1.95, boosting the strength of the British destroyer line in War Thunder!

In War Thunder, HMAS Tobruk will be a new destroyer coming to rank III of the British naval forces tree as part of the upcoming update 1.95. Compared to the existing Battle-class destroyer in game - HMS Armada - HMAS Tobruk offers its aspiring captains improved anti-air firepower and survivability, coming at the cost of slightly reduced mobility and a cut down primary armament suit.





HMAS Tobruk is coming to War Thunder as part of the upcoming update 1.95 and will become available to all captains at rank III of the British naval forces tree. In the meantime, be sure to let us know what you think of this new addition to the game in the comments below and stay tuned to the news for more sneak peaks at what’s coming with the next major update. Until then, calm seas captains!

As you may already know, a full Swedish aviation tech tree is coming with War Thunder major update 1.95. Swedish aircraft will gradually be added to the game during a beta test period, and players who have purchased early access packs will get the chance to research all the Swedish aircraft as soon as the update is released.

The J6B is a good in-game starter aircraft for players of Sweden. It’s a good choice for playing in lower ranked “sandbox” matches, allowing players to earn their first victories and Silver Lions for researching new starter-rank aircraft. The J6B’s level flight speed is relatively low, so it’s best to gain altitude away from major dogfights. It sports two guns in total, but the pilot has a wide choice of ammunition including incendiary, armour-piercing, and tracer rounds.





Players will find that Swedish aircraft will prove their worth as interesting and unique war machines. Stay tuned to our Developers’ Blog articles to find out more about the cool new additions coming to War Thunder in major update 1.95. See you there!

We invite you to take part in the naval forces Enduring Confrontation event, where we present to you a new mission in the location “New Guinea”.

Till the 25th of November 07:00 GMT — [Enduring Confrontation] New Guinea (RB).

The event end time may be subject to change. Costs for respawning, and awards, may also be changed over the event period.

In naval Enduring Confrontation, battles will be held around ports which are involved in the key objectives of the mission.

Teams will receive points for capturing and holding the ports, and also for completing other mission tasks. The team which reaches 150,000 points first wins.

• Required vehicles in setup: Fleet of BR 3.7 - 4.3
  
• Acceptable vehicles in setup: Fleet and aircraft of BR 1.0 - 5.7

The number of respawns is not limited and you can respawn with the same vehicle multiple times, but every respawn will cost Silver Lions depending on the repair cost of the vehicle. Aircraft fly outs require a fixed amount of available respawn points and depend on the class of the aircraft or the presence of suspended weaponry on a fighter. Respawns in ships with a BR of 4.7 and higher require respawn points depending on the BR.

Changes from the previous launch:

• Coastal artillery defending ports has received new modeling.
  
• Hydroplanes/float planes are now able to repair and reload at friendly ports.
  
• The repair algorithm for coastal artillery has been fixed, artillery repairs correctly now.
  
• In naval Confrontation, aircraft missions now appear later in order to let players gather the correct number of points to select an aircraft.
  
• If a team hasn’t completed port capture and it has reverted to neutral, respawns will not be active at this location for both teams.

Naval convoys
New scenario for Enduring Confrontation: naval convoys. On the map border, naval convoys will appear which will move towards the sea ports of their respective team. Whilst the convoy is active, the allied team has additional respawn points close to it. The enemy team will also have respawn points at a distance from the convoy. The number of ships in the convoy depends on the number of players in the game session and on the port size where the convoy is attempting to reach.

Port attack
New scenario for Enduring Confrontation: port attack. Each team will have 3 ports at the start of the mission. Each port has several AI ships which will defend the base. Each port is immediately available for players to capture and there are no additional tasks for capturing the ports. If the convoy from the “naval convoy” scenario reaches its port it is very likely that the AI ships from this port will attack one of the enemy ports and the players will receive additional points for helping them to capture enemy port.

Naval bombers
In case there is an active naval convoy on the map the enemy team may have a bomber which will attack and destroy the convoy. The entire logic of the scenario is working in the same way as for ordinary bombers attacking ground bases, but now their targets are convoy ships.

Greetings, soldiers! We’re pleased to inform you that we have finally setup Easy Anti Cheat into major gaming modes for all players, we’re now ready to roll it out in one of the upcoming updates. It is an important step to integrate the Easy Anti Cheat system in our game.

The setup process will be done sequentially, and as for this current stage, we will start with EAC implementation in modes which have no markers, as well as tournaments, both being areas where EAC’s help is needed most. The statistics collected afterwards will help us to further improve EAC in future integrations, allowing us to progress to other game modes where prohibited modifications provide fewer advantages.



We have provided Easy Anti-Cheat for ‘no marker’ modes and tournaments , exactly where it’s help matters more. EAC asks your permission to run when you are entering such battles for the first time.

To avoid re-loading the War Thunder game client, make sure to check the box in the game launcher, you are free to do it any time. That’s all, EAC is on, and you are allowed to play all battle modes!



The proven heuristic analysis mechanism continues its active duty in War Thunder. It allows us to effectively spot players with forbidden modifications. Also, you are free to address a direct complaint on any suspicious players via our Replay system.

We will continue to master the EAC algorithms in War Thunder to guarantee safe and enjoyable gameplay for you. Thank you for your support!



Does EAC affect a platform’s performance?
No, EAC requires minimal load of your system’s performance abilities, and you won’t notice any changes in performance.

I’m afraid EAC will ban me for sound mods, or team voice chat overlay.
Don’t worry, EAC protects only the core data of the game and doesn’t deal with sound mods. Also, all popular team communication applications are whitelisted in the EAC algorithms.

If you have any issues, please contact the EAC support service.

Are there any issues with EAC and anti-virus software?
Nope, EAC works well with the majority of antiviruses.

EAC is not effective, it can’t protect against anything! Dozens of super popular gaming projects trust in EAC’s capabilities, so does the War Thunder team. Interestingly, most of these games do not have their own protection system, unlike War Thunder. Also, we continue to use EAC in other games, like Crossout and Cuisine Royale - everything is currently okay!

EAC reports an issue.
Try these solutions:

1. Add EAC to the anti-malware exceptions;
   
2. Re-check the EAC checkbox in War Thunder, reload the client,and run EAC again.
   
3. Please report any problems to us.
