Alexander Pokryshkin was born on March the 6th, 1913 (Gregorian calendar, March 19th, 1913) in Novonikolaevsk in the Urals. Since childhood, he dreamed of aviation and was ready to do everything to make this dream come true.

Against the wishes of his parents, young Alexander entered craftsman school as he could only enroll as a pilot if he acquired a profession, which Pokryshkin achieved after 4 years. During his studies, he completed a two-year flying course in just 17 days and passed his exams with the highest score.

Upon completion of flight school, Pokryshkin joined the 55th GIAP (Gvardeyskiy Istrebitelnyy Aviatsionyy Polk, Guards Fighter Aviation Regiment) at Balti airbase near the Soviet-Romanian border at that time. Alexander devoted all his spare time in self-study of various disciplines which was likely to have had significant influence in the mastery of his profession. Another special period in Pokryshkins life was physical training: to control the machine in combat, a pilot needed great physical strength and a developed situational awareness. During his time in the 55th, Pokryshkin flew the I-15, I-153 and the MiG-3.

In the fierce battles during his war against experienced opponents, Pokryshkin soon realized the need to streamline the ways of conducting air combat. One of his self penned journals that came out of this was "Fighter Tactics in Combat", pilot notes” that were later passed to the Central Armed Forces Museum.

During the war, Pokryshkin was entrusted with the training of young pilots, teaching them everything he had learned by example. At the end the war, Colonel Pokryshkin was ordered to take command of the 9th Guards Air Division. He flew 650 combat sorties, in which he achieved 59 individual and 6 shared kills.

A view above the Spree river and the Reichstag, Berlin, 1945. The main action will take place in this area of the new location.

The Berlin offensive, in the spring of 1945, resulted in the complete defeat of Nazi Germany and brought an end to World War II in Europe.

Our artists are re-creating Berlin, destroyed by the fierce battles that took place there. Using historical authenticity they have reconstructed the houses, monuments, roads, bridges and other landmarks of this ancient city.

We already have our location “Berlin” in War Thunder, this is already appreciated by many virtual pilots with two airfields - one at Tempelhof and another in the north-western part of the outskirts of the German capital.

Players have already fought over Berlin and brought down hundreds of thousands of aircraft in this location and now, intense ground battles will erupt in the centre of the city - at the Reichstag.

Armoured vehicles historically played a significant role in the attack on the city and in the capturing of the Reichstag, while they were supported by infantry and artillery fire. Military Newsreel footage even preserved tank duels on the streets! Now our players will be able to touch history - to take part in this great battle, see Berlin as it was in the spring of 1945 - In the new location, "Reichstag".
http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=403129641
This will be the first true city ground forces location in our game. In the “Poland” and “Eastern Europe” maps you have open country and forests surrounding the town buildings. In this map, you have an open square, which is surrounded by the ruins of the city. One of the capture points will be positioned in the middle of the Reichstag battle, which will attract all the combat participants together, adding to the scale of the battle.

We will continue to inform you about a development process for this location. Keep up to date with our news!
