Gaijin Entertainment is pleased to announce the start of the "Mech Thunder" event in War Thunder Mobile, adding historically accurate walking military vehicles to the game for the first time. Players can now test the first prototypes, with this type of weaponry soon becoming a key element on the game's battlefields.
According to recently declassified archives, in the late 1930s, the world's leading powers actively experimented with combat walkers capable of traversing trenches, minefields, and ruined roads with unprecedented ease. Several vehicles typical of that era are being tested in War Thunder Mobile, from the Soviet heavy ShT-1 to the German Wandernder Panzer and the American Bulldog reconnaissance walker.
Players will be able to experience this evolution of armored vehicles firsthand in the special "Mech Thunder" mode. Battles take place in a 10 vs 10 format, where alongside classic tanks, you can call in walkers, including light scouts and heavy vehicles with howitzers and experimental missile weapons. The mode features three unique locations: from a port cargo terminal to the Japanese "Copper Grove," where traditional architecture contrasts with airships in the sky.
Participation in the event will allow you to earn valuable rewards, including rare vehicles! For example, the legendary Object 279, as well as the Finnish battleship Väinämöinen and the experimental XF5U-1 aircraft. Players will also receive unique decorations and other themed prizes.
The "Mech Thunder" event has already begun and will run until April 15th.
