War Thunder 1.73 Dev Server: What to expect

Good day everyone, for those unaware the 1.73 dev server has been opened and it has brought us some surprises to look over. For this I will go over each nation and give basic information for all additions as others may change due to it being a dev server and when more information is out I will go more in depth for all vehicles. For those who play America and Britain, there are no new additions for these nations.

War Thunder 1.73 Dev Server: What to expect

        As mentioned by Shadow_CZ, both console and PC players login on the same server and will be together in the same matches. Currently, those that play on Playstation accounts has an asterisk next to their username. For example: *Von_Richthofen

        And it doesn’t mean they only play Arcade mode. There’s even some decent-good players that play the Simulator Battles mode on Playstation, even PC players using the Xbox controller in both Realistic/Simulator mode.

    Is it possible to mention you are talking about War Thunder in future posts? I thought it was a special WOT dev server untill i saw the planes and your username.

    1. Billywarren007 says:

      All updated, sorry about that wrote it late at night and set it for a scheduled release and didn’t even notice, simply put it in the WT category.

  2. Gal_Ardent says:

    Great news… finally! Quite surprised that the second fighter line has no many american planes… But the type of planes confirmed shows that a lot of other planes might be considered such as VG 36 or 39, SE 100 etc.. And a lot of light bombers and heavy bombers are possible also as a second line (Amiot, LeO, MB, Potez)… I may finally install back WT with such addition…
