News Summary:
Gaijin Entertainment's War Thunder team is developing the Chinese PLZ45 tank for an upcoming major update, providing a development progress update on August 10, 2026, detailing its characteristics and the rationale behind its inclusion. Previously, on July 10, the company announced the third round of closed beta testing for infantry battles in War Thunder, with applications open, seven months after the initial announcement of the feature. Earlier, on July 2, Founder Anton Yudintsev emphasized the need for games to comply with various legal frameworks globally while providing a consistent player experience, noting that "simply making a good game is not enough" given competition from other entertainment forms. This followed the June 24 release of the "Heavy Cavalry" update for War Thunder, which introduced dozens of new ground, air, and naval vehicles, including anti-radiation missiles and electronic support measures, and highlighted additions like the Indonesian Leopard 2RI, Argentinian IA 58A Pucará, and Serbian J-22M1A Orao. Details for this update were initially unveiled on June 8, revealing plans for visual overhauls and new main battle tanks, such as the American M1A2C.
