Gaijin Entertainment’s world of War Thunder continues to expand with the introduction of four British tanks into the battle later this year.
First up, one of Britain’s main heavy tanks in World War II, the Churchill III, which saw action on the beaches of Normandy, will be available. This powerhouse armoured unit will be joined by the Centurion III (post-war British tank) and the A34 Comet, reported to be one of the best British tanks of the Second World War. The tanks are expected to be available before the end of the year. More information about the British tanks can be found on the War Thunder blog.
“We think British Tanks will be a welcome addition to the growing ranks of available vehicles”, said Kirill Yudintsev, creative director of Gaijin Entertainment. “With the addition of US tanks earlier this year we have an incredible number of tanks in War Thunder, and now with British tanks joining the action we’ll increase that number to around 200 historically accurate armored ground vehicles playable in the game by the end of the year”.
Gaijin says it spends months scouring historical information about its vehicles, even scanning blue-prints to ensure that each one is designed with accuracy that reflects its real-world counterparts. These British Tanks will join a huge roster of vehicles in the free-to-play multiplayer online game for PS4, which also includes aircraft from the likes of real-world Soviet, German and American fleets.
