War Thunder's 'Sky Odyssey' Update Adds Greek, Indian, and Indonesian Vehicles

The Sky Odyssey major update for War Thunder arrived on September 16, 2026, bringing a broad set of additions across vehicles, maps, and mechanics.

What changed

New ground vehicles:

• M7 (USA) — described as combining Sherman firepower with Stuart armor and mobility
• Leopard 2HEL (Greece, added to Israel) — one of three new Greek vehicles joining that tree
• Arjun Mk 1 (India, added to Britain) — a domestically produced MBT with a rifled 120 mm cannon
• Harimau (Indonesia, added to Japan) — a light tank armed with a 105 mm gun
• An unnamed MBT for Germany and France mating a Leclerc turret to a Leopard chassis

New aircraft:

• The CA-27 joins the roster (nation and tree unspecified in the announcement)

New map:

• Darwin Hill, set in the Falkland Islands, added for Ground Battles

Mechanical and UI changes:

• Reward mechanics updated for situations where enemy players abandon a tank or vessel
• Bomber aircraft receive improved overall survivability
• Hangar UI refined, including changes to preset functionality and submode display
• Nuclear Escalation, Naval Confrontation, and Bullet Hell are now permanent modes under the "To Battle!" button
• Active Premium accounts and the completion window for the "Mark of Distinction for Pilots 7" achievement extended by 12 hours

For players invested in Britain, Japan, or Israel in particular, the new national vehicle additions meaningfully expand high-rank lineup options.
