= [Development] - S.25 Sunderland Mk.III =

4 engines, 8 crew members, sleeping quarters for a relief crew, three turrets, bombs, even spare propeller blades – all this easily fits on board the British S.25 Sunderland flying boat.

= [Development] - Tunisia = 

We continue to discuss the new North African locations. We present to you, “Tunisia”, another map centred around the heat of North Africa.

The war in North Africa identified serious problems with the efficient supply of fighting troops, this was why any battling for ports was crucial for both sides.

= [Development] - "The Second Battle of El Alamein" =

Prepare to get sand between your toes, North Africa makes its much anticipated appearance in War Thunder, we hope you enjoy battling it out in the new maps as much as we did in designing them for you - and don’t forget, keep your hat on, only mad dogs and Englishmen go out in the midday sun!

= [Development] MiG-17 = 

The players have been asking us when the Mig-17 will be added to the game for several years. Now we can finally reveal this aircraft and tell you for sure that this plane will take its place as the top jet fighter of the USSR after the Mig-15bis. The Mig-17 became a truly legendary plane which was developed in the USSR and supplied to half the world. -  Kirill Vostretsov

= [Development] - Stirling Mk.I and Mk.III =

The British four-engine Stirling Mk I will be added to the game as a rank 3 bomber and will precede the Lancasters in the tech tree. We planned to add this aircraft to the game for a long time: although it didn’t serve for very long in the Royal Air Force, it started a fundamentally new era of British aircraft design and was a plane that should be very interesting to players because of its greatly increased lifting capacity and its durability. -  Kirill "Lassar" Vostretsov, Game Designer
