Today we’re excited to present a familiar face among French tank designs: the SOMUA S.35 medium tank.
The SOMUA S.35, considered by many to be one of the best medium tank designs of the 1930s, heads to War Thunder as part of the new French ground forces research tree, coming in War Thunder update 1.75!

The SAu 40 is a prototype French SPG, constructed at the dawn of the Second World War with the intent to equip light mechanized divisions of the French army. War Thunder tankers will see the SAu 40 on the battlefields of War Thunder in the upcoming 1.75 update!

The French M4A1 added a unique turret design to the classic Sherman tank in the form of the oscillating turret, which was designed by the French and also used in the French AMX-13.
Oscillating turrets consist of an upper and lower part and enabled the cannon to elevate by tilting the entire top of the turret, whereas the lower part connected to the turret ring and enabled horizontal movement. This design provided multiple advantages, including high gun placement, smaller turret size, and a simpler, more reliable autoloader mechanism.

The Char B1 remains one of France’s most iconic WW2 era tanks not just due to its instantly recognizable visual appearance, but also due to its widespread use during the Invasion of France in 1940. Coming with update 1.75 “La Résistance”, aspiring French tank commanders will have the chance to try out the final and most advanced modification of the vehicle’s series, namely the Char B1ter.

The AMX-13 SS.11 is a modernized version of the well-known AMX-13 light tank developed in the late 1940s. This Cold War version of the tank was retrofitted with ATGMs to complement its 75mm cannon, in an effort to boost the vehicle’s effectiveness against hostile armour. Be on the lookout for this small, but very deadly French predator, coming soon with War Thunder’s update 1.75 “La Résistance”!

Update 1.75 “La Résistance” is coming and we are pleased to announce that the research tree for French ground forces will be added in this update! Every vehicle is impressive in its own way: early ranks machines have promising armour, middle ranks are equipped with auto loaders, while oscillating turrets on modern vehicles provide awesome vertical elevation angles.

— Do you plan on introducing the Fw 191 bomber to the German tech tree? It was an all-metal aircraft!
Not in our upcoming plans (the next 2-3 major releases).
— Will there be more “flying wing” style aircraft?
A quick look at our upcoming plans shows nothing. Perhaps there will be something, but it isn’t coming to mind right now.
