When the next War Thunder update arrives, over thirty French aircraft will take flight including planes from the 1930s through today. Many of the planes in the French tree never were mass produced due to the constraints of occupation in WWII. The War Thunder team has spent over a year researching historic documents to ensure accuracy.
Fighter pilots will join the ranks of the French Air Force tree in the Dewoitine D.371, which was one of France’s first developments away from the old-fashioned biplanes to the faster but still maneuverable monoplanes. While the D.371 did not participate in the battles of World War II, it earned recognition during the Spanish Civil War, where it fought on the Republican side against the Nationalist forces, amongst them, future Luftwaffe aces. Three variations of this fighter with different machine gun armaments will be available immediately after release, as well as the premium D.371 H.S.9 with two 20mm cannons.
Preorder bundles are currently available for purchase, each containing various aircraft and other in-game items.
