Gaijin Entertainment announced today that War Thunder Update 1.63 "Desert Hunters" is now live, bringing with it over 20 new vehicles, bringing the game's total vehicle count to over 700, and two new maps. The new set of vehicles includes the Blohm & Voss BV 238, the Ki-87, the Leopard 1A1A1, the M163 Vulcan, and more.

The new maps are described as follows.

The Desert Hunters 1.63 update will introduce the searing expanse of Egypt’s sparsely populated desert region of Sinai. This large and unforgiving terrain will challenge even the best tankers and pilots as they fight it out in combined battles amongst a myriad of sand dunes and in the ruins of an old village as they battle to capture an oil installation.

War Thunder’s second map is designed for aerial combat located in Greece, the labyrinth of rocky valleys with its twisting turns and obstacles will test the skills of any decent pilot. Players will need to navigate a multi-tiered landscape and be on the constant lookout for ‘boom and zoom’ fighter attacks looking to make a surprise kill.

You can find more information about Update 1.63 "Desert Hunters" on the official website. Additionally, Gaijin announced alongside the update that War Thunder now has a total of over 10 million players worldwide "across PS4, PC and VR platforms."
