Gaijin Entertainment have released a gameplay trailer discussing War Thunder‘s upcoming New Power update.
War Thunder is available on Windows PC, Linux, and Mac (all via Steam), PlayStation 4, and Xbox One; with next-gen versions releasing in mid-November. The New Power update will include a large number of changes to the game’s fleet battles and ship tech tree, including the introduction of battlecruisers and battleships from the pre-WWII era.
The ship tech tree will be divided into two sections: Coastal Fleets (which include smaller vessels like gunboats, torpedo boats, and frigates), and Blue Water Fleets (which include heavier ships like destroyers, and the new battlecruisers and battleships). You can read more about the update here, and find the new trailer below.
