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.

The Assault mode is a new PvE mode coming soon to War Thunder, which tasks tankers with defending a location against waves of enemies or challenges pilots to maintain air superiority over enemy bombers. Both modes are still in development, though expected to debut "soon"(TM).
