The British are coming! Rumbling over the ridge – but they are definitely not dressed in red, olive drab is the duty colour for the incoming 1.55 “Royal Armour” update. The new major update introduces armoured vehicles to Great Britain. More than 30 machines of the finest British steel, 9 new aircraft, 2 amazing North African locations and many more features have been added to the game.

We can’t wait to put British armour into the hands of our players! Some vehicles will be available to play right from the start.. The rest of them will be first tested and then introduced step by step. Follow our news to learn how to join the beta-test, that also grants access to all of the initial machines. Don’t miss it!

See the full list of changes in the Changelog section.

Thirty British tanks including variants of Valentine’s, Matildas, Cromwells and Churchills will be introduced over the coming weeks with five regular and four premium tanks initially for the Brits. Over the next few weeks the British ranks will steadily grow and encompass self-propelled guns and the very first armoured cars in War Thunder in the form of the T17E2 and Mk II AA.
