Hey everyone, on June 24th from 08:00 GMT, the War Thunder game servers may be unavailable due to the release of the Heavy Cavalry major update!
Please note that this update requires more data to be downloaded than usual. About 20 GB more for the standard client and 35 GB more for clients with ultra-high quality for ground vehicle textures. This is because we have changed the compression format of all ground vehicle textures, helping to improve their quality without virtually any increase in the total size of the textures.
So that players with login streaks don’t miss out, the resetting of the daily login counter after not logging in for some time has been been temporarily disabled. The counter will resume operating under normal rules after June 26th at 08:00 GMT.
Be sure to catch up on what content is coming in this update by looking at our dev blogs while you wait for your game to download. The major update announcement and full major changelog will be published when the update is released and ready to play.
Thank you for your understanding.
