Japan is actually slightly lacking in strike aircraft in War Thunder so having the D4Y does bring some good options to the tech tree.Īnother example of the breadth of War Thunder’s aircraft lineup offering a rare and unusual aircraft to the lineup. Increasing Allied fighter performance and sophistication made this fast bomber vulnerable. Used in the Marianas, Leyte Gulf and Okinawa battles, the D4Y replaced the D3A ‘Val’ dive bomber as weapon of choice for Japanese naval aviators. A large variety of new and exotic aircraft types D4Y ‘Suisei’ I’m focused on the aircraft in this blog update. Of course, as with any other War Thunder update, there are new maps and locations to battle it out in and a range of new tanks and aircraft.

Still, if they do manage to make it work in War Thunder it will be the first title in a very long time to represent Vietnam era aircraft in any sort of realistic (or thereabouts) fashion. They fear that missile combat and the slow turning rates of aircraft like the F-4 Phantom and other Vietnam era aircraft may not appeal to their crowd. The developers are more tight lipped and less certain on the aviation aspect. A new Tier 6 layer of modern armor is the first step towards that and we should expect to see some of the iconic armored vehicles of the early and middle parts of the Cold War represented. The developers at War Thunder have been slowly pushing into more modern aircraft and tanks in recent updates and it seems that the plan is to continue to do that. War Thunder holds the record for the most number of types of World War II and beyond aircraft in a video game ever and Gaijin shows no signs of slowing down. One thing War Thunder cannot be accused of is not having enough aircraft to fly.
