War Thunder Adds 19 New Vehicles and Three Maps, Preps For PvE Assault Mode
The thunder of war keeps booming, and today War Thunder went live with Update 1.67, named "Assault!" That's with an exclamation point, so you know it's a really LOUD update.

Three new maps, one air and two combined forces, also make their way into the update.
