Stalingrad, the site of dramatic events around the Stalingrad Tractor Factory during the liberation of the city on the Volga during the Second World War, is a veteran location that came to the game nearly 10 years ago. Ever since, it has become a classic battleground for Ground Battles in War Thunder! However, time moves on and we’ve strived to give this location a fresh look while preserving all of the familiar gameplay features that make Stalingrad so beloved. So bundle up, as we’re heading into the brutal Russian winter!

To give Stalingrad an updated look, we focused on reworking every element of the map’s environment from scratch — from the remains of metal structures and lampposts, to the factory buildings and railway platforms.

Buildings, roofs, train cars, coal piles and numerous ruins now have a completely new level of detail, and all major objects in the wintery Stalingrad now feature snowdrifts and icicles.

Try not to slip over! The location has been updated with track markings in the mud on the well-worn roads, frozen puddles glimmer with ice here and there, and glimpses of last year’s grass peek out from under the snow.

We’ve also updated the aircraft areas of this location! The winter forest now looks more authentic, the frozen river has a realistic ice crust with different ice colors for different depths, and snowdrifts have been added too.

We’re aware of the importance of preserving recognizable routes and familiar cover, so we’ve aimed to preserve all game geometry as much as possible, meaning you’ll feel right at home in regards to combat when playing on the updated Stalingrad.

That’s it for this one! Everyone will be able to try the newly updated Stalingrad location very soon. Until then, have a good one!
