Some images of the new planes currently in the dev server build:
The Germans get an early bomber in Tier I, the Dornier Do 17 E-1.
The Germans and the Soviets each get a light tank, the Soviets with a T-26-4 sitting right below the T-26 reserve and the Germans get a Pz.Kpfw 35(t), bringing their reserve tanks up to two and in line with the other nations.
The Japanese army aviation gets an early Ki-44-I, while the Navy line gets the J2M5 which has slightly better performance than the current J2M4. A premium J2M5 is also available which swaps the 4 20mm cannons for a pair of 30mm cannons.
Each of the 3 ground forces nations gets an end game tank as well, the Soviets get the T-10M heavy tank, while US gets the M60 Patton and the Germans get the Leopard 1, belonging to the medium tank classification.
On top of what we've covered for the Super Hellcat and Nb.Fz, which have been confirmed as premiums, the Soviets get new premium tanks in the SU-100Y and the T-34-100, both with very menacing guns. These premium tanks were being put through their paces in the dev server preview as well.
The British naval aviation line gets the Firebrand. a naval fighter bomber in the mold of the Firefly, while the Hawker line gets the Hurricane Mk. IV armed with twin 40mm anti-tank cannons for ground attack.
The US gets some love for the early tiers as well, with the A-36 Apache fighter (no evidence of bombing capabilities at the moment despite the plane being in the bomber tree) and the SB2C Helldiver dive bomber.
There will typically be a few dev server releases with more details before the actual War Thunder update, and we will bring more information as they become available.
