▶️Book of Records: Seaplanes

When it comes to War Thunder aviation, there’s a special class of aircraft that bridges two elements: seaplanes. Their unique capabilities allow them to take on missions that regular land‑based planes simply can’t handle. Today, we’re opening a new chapter in our virtual Book of Records, and showing you the most outstanding representatives of this class!

😄Thunder Show: ON ALL SIDES

Welcome to Thunder Show and the most amazing moments of the past week!

▶️M103: An Old-School Heavyweight

Some vehicles have become part of War Thunder history over the years. The American M103 is definitely one of them. It arrived in the game back in 2014 together with the entire US ground forces tree, and at the time it sat right at the top. A huge gun, some of the most powerful HEAT rounds around, and an intimidating silhouette made it a dream tank for many players. Years have passed since then. New vehicles, new mechanics, and entire new generations of military hardware have entered the game. But can this veteran still surprise us today? Let’s find out.

While the Wehrmacht swept rapidly across the continent, capturing one country after another, the situation at sea was very different. The British Royal Navy held a decisive numerical advantage over the Kriegsmarine in major warships, so Germany placed greater emphasis on commerce raiding. These operations targeted enemy merchant shipping, above all the Atlantic convoys on which Britain depended for supplies.

👋Hello, camo creators! The submission period for our Summer Contest is now officially closed.

We received a massive amount of amazing skins — you guys completely exceeded our expectations! Because there are so many entries, our jury needs a little extra time to carefully review every single submission, score them, and fairly choose the winners. We’ll publish the results on September 4th — sorry for the delay!

We also have some great news: while the results are being calculated, we are already preparing a new lineup of vehicles for the upcoming Autumn Contest. It will start some time after the summer results are published!

Thank you for your patience and your incredible work. Stay tuned, the results are coming soon!
