War Thunder moves out of open beta and launches main game

Gaijin Entertainment today announced that update 1.65 marks an end to open beta and the launch of War Thunder with all current in-game nations featuring their own aircraft and tank trees. The introduction of ships also means that War Thunder now takes the fight to land, air, and sea. Gaijin Entertainment will continue its commitment to improving the game through regular updates, as they progress toward the research trees of War Thunder Ships, which currently reside in pre-beta testing.

"After reaching this important development milestone, which marks the end of Open Beta, the goals set out for War Thunder in 2012 are now complete. We will focus on adding new features and improvements, to let virtual pilots, tankers and navy captains enjoy one of the most realistic, extensive and accessible war simulations of all time", as voiced by Kirill Yudintsev, Creative Director of Gaijin Entertainment.

There are a whole load of features in update 1.65, including integration of cockpit interiors, new maps, adding armoured vehicles, and much more. In 2017 Gaijin plans to "focus on two major game mode" as well as more new content. Are you pleased the main game has launched?
