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 Great French Revolution shook the entire world, and one of the first and most important events of that time was the storming of the Bastille prison-fortress on July 14th, 1789. This date was not celebrated for almost a hundred years until 1880, when July 14th became a National Holiday. For this day, a large military parade on the Champs Elysees was established one hundred years later in 1980.
In honor of Bastille Day, weve created a Moments of Valor video dedicated to France, and there are discounts on rare vehicles and packs in the store, and a themed decal!

About each of these vehicles
The Milan is a solid multi-role fighter. Thanks to its large payload and impressive performance characteristics, its usually best used for ground attack. Its no slouch against air targets either, thanks to its good performance and ability to use AIM-9B Sidewinder missiles.

The S.O.4050 Vautour IIN features AA-20 Nord air-to-air missiles, which can be tricky to hit air targets with. Therefore, its best to use this aircraft to destroy enemy bases and ground vehicles, since it can carry up to 4,400 kg of ordnance.
