War Thunder has been updated with v1.71 "New E.r.a." that opens a new Rank VI for modern ground vehicles. Nearly forty new tanks and aircraft have been added as well as new locations and brand new features. Most notably, players will be able to take the gunner position in aircraft and play in first person mode.
Modern Ground Forces on Rank VI
The new Rank VI for ground vehicles will feature combat vehicles from the 1960’s to 1970’s and introduce technologies typical for modern-day tank construction. New generations of armour - composite and explosive reactive armor (ERA) - will offer vehicles with increased protection against projectiles and missiles. Stabilized cannons allow for more precision based-firing while on the move. Smokescreen launchers, hydraulic suspension systems, and modern Anti-tank guided missile launchers will add new tactical opportunities, making the gameplay on high-ranked vehicles even more dynamic and diverse.
