...And now for the TANKS! 

In addition to the new tanks added to war thunder they have also given the terrain an update so that each surface affects the tanks movability and speed.. so don't expect your tank to be clean after travelling through mud, grass and everything else!

USA have two brilliant additions to their tank tree which includes M26E1 Perching and the M42 Duster.
