The War Thunder Tusk Force update, released on September 23, 2025, arrives as the third major update of 2025. The War Thunder Tusk Force update introduces new vehicles, revamps, mechanics, and enough adjustments to fill a battleship. Some of which have been a long time coming, and the War Thunder Tusk Force update finally delivers.

As mentioned, the release of the War Thunder Tusk Force update means another staggering list of additions to the game. And just like previous major updates, Gaijin does not disappoint when it comes to the amount of content added. Now, let’s get into what the War Thunder Tusk Force update brings so you can get out there onto the battlefield faster.

What Does The War Thunder Tusk Force Update Add?

The first additions of the War Thunder Tusk Force update include the brand-new vehicles added to the game. These new vehicles are for every nation and game mode, including the new Thailand subtree in the Japanese research tree. The Thai subtree consists of the M60A3 TTS M163, Stingray, and the famous Ukrainian-exported BM Oplot-T.

Following the previous update, several nations have also received their very own SAM (Surface-to-Air Missile) vehicles. These include the Russian Buk-M3, British Sky Sabre, and French SAMP/T, which finally provides them with SAM options. And don’t worry, these barely scratch the surface of the added vehicles; there are many more additions.

In addition to the staggering amount of new vehicles, the War Thunder Tusk Force update also revamps these machines. The War Thunder Tusk Force update has refined the models, damage models, characteristics, and weapons of hundreds of vehicles. These refinements provide players with an improved experience, and most importantly, a more immersive experience.

Alongside the updated vehicle models, several maps have also received some love from Gaijin. The most significant of which are the complete visual overhauls of the Poland and Eastern Europe maps. Both of these maps have received updates to their dated visuals, though these changes only affect their graphics rather than their design.

Not only that, but various other maps have also received adjustments to their looks and designs. These vary from minor flora changes for visibility or design changes to prevent those insolent spawn camp positions. For the standard player, these changes may not be noticeable, or they may help you in your journey to the top tier.

And lastly, the new game mechanics added in by the War Thunder Tusk Forces update. The first of these new mechanics is the updated aircraft UI that allows players to control their radar with just their mouse. The updated UI reduces the number of keybinds players need to remember to operate an aircraft.

Along with this, the War Thunder Tusk Force update expands the nuclear delivery aircraft roster. For the longest time, players had to use simple propeller aircraft or defenseless jet aircraft to deliver their game-changing nukes. These aircraft include:

  • The Su-24M for the USSR and China
  • The F-111F for the USA, Israel, and Japan
  • The Tornado IDS ASSTA1 for Germany, Great Britain, Italy, France, and Sweden.

These aircraft offer greater speed and survivability with their countermeasures, making them more suitable for modern environments. Thus, offering you a fairer fight against modern anti-aircraft weapons so that you may drop your devastating payload.
