00:00.
00:06Hello everyone, welcome to Update 1.53 Firestorm.
00:10Several new vehicles with multiple rocket launcher systems have been added to the game all at once.
00:15The first batch of British tanks has arrived.
00:18The developers have updated the game engine, added two new maps and added much more besides.
00:23But all in good time.
00:25War Thunder is moving up to the latest version of its game engine, Dagor 4.0.
00:30Which brings new graphical capabilities and technologies to the game.
00:33This includes physics-based rendering, realistic water visualization and large building destruction physics.
00:38Vehicles and background objects now look more natural.
00:42Be sure to check out the water.
00:44The NVIDIA Waveworks technology provides means to create any water surface.
00:48From a weak ripple on a lake to giant ocean waves.
00:51Foamy white caps, sunflex, surf, the water can look entirely different depending on its type, the weather, the lightning and
00:57other features of the map.
01:00The destructible environment feature is also having an update.
01:03The combat on urban maps will change noticeably.
01:06Now it's easy to destroy a house and make yourself a new path.
01:10The first three locations this new feature will be available on are the already well-known Berlin and the absolutely
01:16new advance to the Rhine and Stalingrad.
01:21Oh yeah! Welcome to the new maps!
01:24Our pilots have already fought in the winter skies of Stalingrad, now tankers too will fight for the city, or
01:29more precisely for the Stalingrad Tractor Factory.
01:31The entire factory complex will be their battleground, there will be plenty of room to spread out your forces.
01:37A giant winter map created using authentic photographs, new objects such as highly detailed tractors that the factory produced before
01:43the war and trains with rolling stocks still standing on the tracks awaiting dispatch.
01:47The developers carefully recreated everything to the last detail.
01:53Another stunning urban location.
01:55In the advance to the Rhine, history bustles the familiar details.
01:59After all, it was the site of the famous tank duel at Cologne Cathedral that inspired the developers to create
02:04this in-game map.
02:05The new destruction system used with the new map will make it even better to play, crush, smash and destroy
02:11entire blocks in this already mauled city to flank your opponent or get to where you need to go faster.
02:17Dynamic sniper battles in urban conditions are the best way to train your mastery of the game.
02:24Now let's see what's new in the hangar.
02:26The British development tree has received the new tab Army.
02:29The first to honor the crown on the new front will do battle in unique vehicles with names, renowned in
02:34history.
02:35Let's meet them.
02:36The A13 Mark II with oblique armor.
02:39The vehicle that began the entire line of British cruiser tanks.
02:42It has an excellent rate of fire, wonderful mobility and this tank was the first to use the Christie suspension
02:48system.
02:49The same that was used on the Soviet BT tanks and even the T-34.
02:53The A43 Black Prince.
02:55Its enemies will have to learn the imperial measurement system to realize that 17 pounds is no joke.
03:01The Prince is one of the most modern Churchill modifications as excellently armored,
03:05armed and simply brutal.
03:07Perfection has no limit.
03:08Why not install a 17-pounder in a turret of a proven warrior?
03:12Consider it done.
03:13The Sherman Firefly Trusinitz of the 2nd Tank Division Warsaw.
03:17This vehicle turned out to be so successful that it remained a dangerous opponent to the German tanks until the
03:22very end of the war.
03:24Haven't learned what 17 pounds means yet?
03:27Then let's nail it and find out.
03:28The M10 Achilles of the British 7 Armored Division has all the pluses of a fast and mobile SPG in
03:34combination with what is now your favorite weapon.
03:37Happy hunting!
03:40Impressed?
03:41Well, the USA, Germany and the USSR don't plan to let Britain get away with all this power.
03:46The M26 Persian with an unguided rocket launcher system.
03:5044 rocket shells in combination with the M3 cannon allow this vehicle to overwhelm its enemy with a rain of
03:56fire,
03:56and the clever design of the launcher doesn't expose the tank either.
04:01Do you rely more on tactics?
04:03Then your choice is the T92 in the US light tank branch.
04:06Low dimensions, low profile and a very impressive mobility.
04:09For the first time light tanks would take their place in high rank battles.
04:13With even just one such vehicle, the team will quickly occupy key points on the battleground.
04:21For connoisseurs of powerful weapons, the experimental T25 medium tank has become available.
04:27It has the now familiar 90mm M3 cannon and decent armor for rank 3.
04:32Germany's tank hangars are also set to expand.
04:34The Panzer Warfare 42 will bring its rocket volley to the table as the first multiple rocket launcher system in
04:40Germany's ground vehicle tree.
04:41A vehicle for those who know the value of a direct hit, it can launch 10 158mm rockets in a
04:48single volley.
04:50The Jagdpanzer IV-5 or the Kannon Jagdpanzer.
04:54The Germans always loved giving their tanks difficult to pronounce names.
04:58While you're trying to say its name, this new German SPG will already be at your rear.
05:01It has maximum speed of 70 km an hour and its weapon, stuck with post-war ammunition, will make even
05:07the most heavily armored opponents sweat.
05:10The number of explosions on War Thunder's battlefields will grow even bigger.
05:14The USSR isn't about to lag behind the competition either.
05:17The Soviet's first and yet another rocket tank, the BM-824.
05:22The legendary Katusha self-propelled rocket launcher system, not another compact T60 chassis, carrying 24 82mm rockets.
05:30And players will have to deal with a swarby response to autocannons at as early as rank 1.
05:38Another new vehicle in the Soviet tank line is the PT-76.
05:42This is the first amphibious tank in the game.
05:44The PT-76's powerful heat shell can send any opponent back to the hangar.
05:49Now, on to the aircraft.
05:52USSR-3 got its own flying fortress, PE-8, has great defensive armament and up to 5 tons of bomb
05:58load.
05:59Another new aircraft in the Soviet tree is Yak-9B, also capable of carrying bombs.
06:03Fans of Japanese Imperial Navy aircraft will be happy to see a new naval fighter, Mitsubishi A7M-1.
06:12Germany got two Dornia 17Z modifications and BF-109Es.
06:21U.S. Air Force received two new naval bombers, SB-2C-4 and TBD Devastator.
06:29And those who are fond of two-engine lighting fighters should be happy with four new modifications of this legendary
06:34aircraft.
06:36Fans of British vehicles got a new jet fighter, Hawker Hunter.
06:40It joined the tree so that Royal Air Force in the game may be on par with such titans as
06:44the MiG or the Sabre.
06:47Now, let's return to the hangar. The first thing worth noting is the redeveloped cool skill window.
06:53Distributing experience points has never been easier.
06:58There are many more changes we have included in this update. Try out the new Firestorm update to see it
07:03all for yourself.
