The CM25 is a tank hunter modification of the CM21 - a Taiwanese APC based on the widespread American M113. Coming as part of the upcoming update, the CM25 will soon await all seasoned tank commanders as the new top tank destroyer of the Chinese ground forces tree!

In War Thunder, the CM25 will be the new top tank destroyer arriving to the Chinese ground forces tree with the next major update. Although very similar in both performance and appearance to the M113A1 TOW already familiar to some tankers, the CM25 distinguishes itself from its predecessor by carrying more powerful versions of the TOW anti-tank guided missile!

As already mentioned, the CM25 shares a great deal of similarity to the M113A1 TOW, already present at the top ranks of the Chinese ground forces tree. Visual differences aside, the CM25 is slightly heavier than its American counterpart thanks to its larger spaced armor elements on the sides of the hull. While offering an incremental improvement in protection as a result, the effect won’t really be felt by tankers in the heat of combat. In all other aspects, the CM25 is neigh identical to its American counterpart.





The CM25 will be arriving at the top ranks of the Chinese ground forces tree as part of the next major update to War Thunder and will become the crowning jewel of the Chinese tank destroyer line. In the meantime, make sure to stay tuned to the news to find out more about the upcoming major update. Until then, happy hunting tankers!

The SEPECAT Jaguar was the result of a joint Anglo-French development project to design a new supersonic attack aircraft during the 1960’s. Coming in hot with the War Thunder: Raining Fire update, the highly anticipated Jaguar will soon be joining the top ranks of the British and French aviation trees!

In War Thunder, the highly anticipated SEPECAT Jaguar is finally arriving to the top ranks of the French and British aviation trees with the release of the upcoming update Raining Fire. Thanks to its good handling characteristics, adequate speed and vast array of secondary weapons options, the Jaguar is set to become the crowning jewel of the French and British attacker family of aircraft upon its arrival to the game as part of the next War Thunder major update!

The Jaguar is powered by a pair of Rolls-Royce Turbomeca Adour turbofan engines, generating up to 3,348 kgf of force with the afterburners engaged. As a result, the aircraft can reach a top speed of up to Mach 1.4 (1,670 km/h). Although not exactly matching the flight performance of some other machines found at the top rank, it’s worth noting that the Jaguar is an attacker first and foremost with the ability to hold its own in a dogfight if necessary.





The SEPECAT Jaguar is coming in hot with the release of the War Thunder: Raining Fire update and will soon reinforce the top ranks of the British and French aviation trees with an excellent jet attacker that is sure to find many fans among War Thunder pilots! In the meantime, be sure to stay tuned to the news to be kept up to date with all the latest information surrounding the next major update coming to the game. Until then, clear skies pilots!

120mm naval guns on the chassis of Japanese Chi-Ha tanks were supposed to hit the landing American troops with direct fire. The mobile coastal artillery was to be the last-chance weapon to save Japan from the Allied invasion.

The Chi-Ha Long Gun will appear in our game with the release of the War Thunder: “Raining Fire” update, the self-propelled gun will join the ranks of rank I vehicles in the Japanese ground forces research tree. Vehicles of this class are widely represented in the game and have their fans. The advantages of such vehicles are huge firepower and acceptable mobility, the disadvantages are low protection and rather high visibility.

The Chi-Ha Long Gun is a classic of the "glass cannon". The absence of a turret and the high seating position of the gun operators makes the crew open to any damage, including machine gun fire, aviation and artillery strikes. However, the huge damage of the gun makes the risk to the crew justified to strategists - the 120mm naval gun fires only high-explosive fragmentation shells, each of which contains almost 2 kg of explosives in TNT equivalent! After each shot, you need to look for cover, it will take the crew some time to reload the giant cannon. The Chi-Ha Long Gun gets to the shelter quickly enough - even a heavy cannon does not prevent the Chi-Ha chassis from accelerating to a speed of just over 40 km / h.





The Chi-Ha Long Gun will be a good addition to the starting setups of Japanese vehicles. Each shot from this self-propelled gun inflicts critical damage to light protected targets, but every enemy shot threatens to immediately send the brave Japanese to the hangar. Put the Chi-Ha Long Gun to the test with the release of our big update, War Thunder: “Raining Fire” - it won't be long!

The Nanchang Q-5 is a Chinese supersonic jet attacker, developed during the 1960’s on the basis of the Soviet MiG-19 design. Arriving in the game as part of the next major update, the Nanchang Q-5 will expand the Chinese attacker line into the sixth rank and give pilots the chance to fly another unique and versatile top tier aircraft!

In War Thunder, the Nanchang Q-5 will be a new supersonic jet attacker, awaiting pilots at the top rank of the Chinese aviation tree in the upcoming update.

The upcoming War Thunder update will see three new modifications of the legendary Russian tank being added to the game – the 1989 T-72B build, the 2011 T-72B3 and the latest 2016 T-72B3 build!

War Thunder tank commanders should by now be well familiar with the Soviet T-72, which was the most-produced tank in the second half of the 20th century. The present modifications; the T-72A and the T-72B perform rather well in rank VI battles but struggle quite a bit against the top-tier Western tanks. This can be explained for a number of reasons: their average mobility, lack of modern ERA and fire control systems, and insufficient destructive power of the shells. Fans of the Soviet/Russian armoured vehicle tech tree had much to think about, mainly because of an incredibly wide range of available T-72 modifications, both developed domestically and abroad.





In the upcoming major update, three new modifications of the tank will be added to War Thunder, and this will promote the T-72 from its duties in the secondary offensive front to the hottest top-dog assault lines. Please welcome the 1989 T-72B model, the 2011 T-72B3 model and it is the 2016 T-72B3 researchable modification, that will put the T-72 on the closest-possible level to modern MBTs!
