War Thunder CDK

It is possible to enable Aurora Borealis for custom missions by manually editing the .blk file of your custom mission.

A new version of the War Thunder CDK was released today. War Thunder CDK is a set of tools for user content creation available to every player.

Starting from the Dance of Dragons update, tanks with camouflage nets are being switched to a new shader for texturing camouflage nets. In the Dance of Dragons update, the Vextra 105 and T-80U-E1 switched to the new system, and starting from the Firebirds update, all new vehicles with camouflage nets will be added with the new texturing system.

Since update 1.73 "Vive la France" the default sighting reticle for ground vehicles in War Thunder can be replaced with a custom one, for example if you want to recreate a historical representation of the sight. Custom sights will be created by changing settings in the reticle file rather than in any graphic editor.

Creating a multiplayer mission in the War Thunder CDK can be much more complex than creating a single player mission. But if you know all the steps and nuances, it will be less intimidating. Read more about them with examples in this article.

If you are bored with the look of your favorite vehicles and the available in-game camouflages are not quite right for your vehicle - a custom camouflage can be a good solution to creating a unique look for your vehicle.

Under the Live WT content creators support program, in every War Thunder major update, 40 user created camouflages are grouped in a special trophy.

With the introduction of update 1.59 "Flaming Arrows", players are able to change the hangar for a custom one.

Localization texts sometimes contain special characters, tags, and other technical elements. Most of them are well known to professional translators and coders, or intuitive, but there is something you need to know – we use the original plurals syntax, see below.
