War Thunder already offers a highly detailed experience in military aviation and ground forces combat, giving players access to a Guinness World Record breaking number of aircraft, as well as an abundance of tanks and other combat vehicles - and the number is constantly rising.
You can feel the unmatched intensity of aerial dogfights in a fighter, the decisive power of commanding a heavy strategic bomber or the heat of battle in a ground attacker, delivering precision strikes against your enemies. Alternatively, you can join the spearhead of armoured vehicles, fighting for dominance over the battlefield on the ground: Man a heavy tank with impressive armour and firepower, use the maneuverability of a medium or light tank to your advantage, or support your team by screening the skies with your anti aircraft vehicle - the choice is yours!
In the future, the game will also allow players to ‘set sail’ by commanding a variety of warships in the fight over the control of the world’s oceans, giving the game a truly epic scale.
Master your vehicles through both upgrades and personal experience in an environment that is constantly expanding and rewarding the personal skill of the player. Organise your efforts in one of the countless player squadrons and become an ace pilot or tanker - or both! Our thriving and welcoming community of millions of players is also actively participating in the game’s ongoing development, offering custom content through War Thunder Live, such as skins, missions and even vehicles.

The M1A2 is among the latest and most capable modifications of the American Abrams MBT, featuring notable improvements in protection as well as other areas. Soon, the highly anticipated M1A2 will also make its way to War Thunder as part of update 1.93, becoming the new crowning jewel of the American ground forces tree!
In War Thunder, the M1A2 will be the new top performer of the American ground forces tree, following its introduction to the game as part of the upcoming update 1.93. While its outside appearance doesnt stray far from its direct predecessor, the M1A2 nonetheless holds some notable upgrades underneath all that steel plating that very much differentiates it from the M1A1.
For starters, the most notable improvement lies within the M1A2s armor protection. Unlike the M1A1, the M1A2 features composite armor with second generation depleted uranium components which substantially bolsters resistance against all ammunition types. In other words, or numbers rather, this improved protection will be most noticeable at the M1A2s turret cheeks, which can absorb around 600mm to 900mm of penetration from kinetic and chemical munition types respectively.
However, while this upgrade certainly makes the M1A2 a tougher nut to crack, it also makes it quite a bit heavier and thus negatively impacts its overall mobility as a result. Due to the fact that the M1A2 retains its 1,500 hp gas turbine engine from previous modifications while its mass increases to nearly 62 metric tons, the end result is a slightly lower power-to-weight ratio which translates into slower acceleration. Despite the weight increase however, the top speed remains identical to that of the M1A1 - 42.25 mph (68 km/h).
