Last week, we released several exciting videos for War Thunder enthusiasts. We delve into the Mi-35P “Phoenix” helicopter, which stirred curiosity with its enigmatic name. Experience the “Aerial Ballet” and learn how to effectively utilize tanks with active protection systems. Additionally, we discuss the updated respawn mechanics and reconnaissance drones.
Don't forget, you can now use video subtitles!
Mi-35P: Not What It Seems
Among the highlights of the latest update are squadron vehicles: machines that any active community member can research and unlock. This time the prize is the Russian Mi-35P “Phoenix”, and its designation raises plenty of questions.
Thunder Show: AERIAL BALLET
Welcome to Thunder Show and the most magical moments of the past week! The kind of magic we’re talking about involves large calibers and huge amounts of explosives.

Changes to Spawn Points and Scouting
A recent update has overhauled the mechanics of reconnaissance drones and the way spawn points are calculated for aircraft. Today, we’d like to break down all the changes in detail.
