Pre-order: Packs for the USA, USSR and Great Britain!
34.99
Headlining the American pack is one of the most versatile tanks of the war, the Sherman 76 Easy Eight! This variant features a camo netting, constructed by weaving fabric through barbed wire. Under this netting is an array of jerry cans and sandbags, both offering a very small amount of extra protection.
One of Americas most capable light vehicles, the Hellcat will be joining the pack! This variant contains some light camo netting and is covered in satchels and canisters, along with an additional light machinegun on the turret. This M18 was inspired by late-war Hellcats, which often carried many storage elements on the exterior. A small sign is also included on the turret, this was attached to an M18 when the tank was delivered to the front, in order to quickly get crews accustomed to this new vehicle.
Rounding off the lineup is the ever capable Skink wielding four fast-firing 20 mm guns! Complete with additional track armor and wooden planks on the sides, often applied to Shermans. Featuring a totally enclosed turret, the Skink excels in the anti-air role as it can avoid being strafed by the vast majority of aircraft. To get to the Gaijin Store through Steam, go to the in-game hangar > Shop > Online Store!
34.99
Kicking off the USSR pack is the T-34-85, in very unique attire. This T-34 is protected by light anti-HEAT shields salvaged from German tanks. While these field modifications were rare, several examples of T-34s fielding skirt armor from destroyed StuGs and similar tank destroyers could be seen in the latter stages of the war.
This IS-1 comes complete with extra track armor on the sides of the turret as well as the lower plate often a common weak spot. One of the main highlights of this tank is a camo netting fitted on the front of the hull and sides, plus on the gun barrel. There is also a Soviet army helmet ontop of the headlight at the front!
Supporting the lineup is a captured Sd.Kfz 251/21. This trophy vehicle is new to the game, swapping out the standard 15 mm guns with three 20 mm cannons instead. These trade off some velocity and penetration power with significantly higher damage for the HE round to aircraft, making it a fairly special edition for the USSR. To get to the Gaijin Store through Steam, go to the in-game hangar > Shop > Online Store!
34.99
The spearhead of the British lineup is the classic Sherman VC Firefly. This variant features additional track armor, including tracks from the destroyed German tanks, on the hull along with many extra cosmetic elements, complete with two-tone camo netting covering the hull and turret, perfect for concealed sniping and defensive positions. One of the crew members has left his glasses on the gun mantlet, hopefully it wasnt the gunner!
Supporting the Firefly is the versatile Avenger, which also includes a similar type of camo netting. This variant has many additional cosmetic features inspired by several photos of British tanks. And guess what, theres even a kettle all the more reason to play this tank!
The anti-air vehicle of the group is the Crusader AA Mk.II, very mobile and reactive and fairly well protected from most aircraft as well thanks to its enclosed turret. This variant is also nicely camouflaged and customized, and was inspired by the many Crusader SPAA units operational in Normandy. [hr][/hr] Thats all for today, thank you very much for reading! These packs can be pre-ordered starting today from the Gaijin store. Stay tuned for even more news, and well see you very soon!

Today we have three new premium packs to show you, each containing three vehicles.
These packs offer a versatile selection of ground vehicles, all similar to existing tech tree vehicles but with some interesting cosmetic variations. They dont intend to represent one single vehicle and are instead more of a collective inspiration drawn from elements of several historical photos. Lets start!

War Thunder is a free-to-play, cross-platform MMO combat game for Windows, Linux, Mac and PlayStation®4 dedicated to military vehicles used in and around World War II and the Korean War. In War Thunder, you can take part in major battles on land, in the air, and at sea, fighting with real players from all over the world in a continuously developing environment.
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.
War Thunder has something for everyone. Play cooperative games with your friends on Windows PC, Linux, Mac or PlayStation 4 against AI, or squad up for a PvP battle in a difficulty setting matching your play style, ranging from Arcade to Simulator using Mouse and Keyboard, Gamepad or Joystick.
