War Thunder 2.7 "Red Skies" now live with two new locations, rank VII aircraft, new ground vehicles, ships, and more

After a nearly three months since the release of update 2.5 "Ixwa Strike," War Thunder has finally received a new major update. Now pushed up to version 2.7 and known as "Red Skies," Gaijin's popular product sports rank VII aircraft with a top BR of 11.0, two new locations, and much more.

Those with slower connections should be aware that War Thunder 2.7 "Red Skies" comes inside a 4.5 GB package, so downloading it might take a while. Now, these are the highlights of this update:

• Rank VII for aviation, with new jets like the MiG-23M, J-7E, and a premium F-5C in the Red Menace camouflage.
• A new naval shell chase camera and 6 new ships, including the Dante Alighieri and USS Wyoming.
• New locations: "Red desert" for mixed battles and "Drowned city" for naval engagements.
• No less than 11 new ground vehicles, including modern Chinese SPAA and the Russian T-80BVM tank.
• Multiple location and mission updates, minor changes to models, weaponry, damage model, flight model, physics, visuals, and so on.
• Various ship names have been changed in the research tree, vehicle cards, and in battles.
