Stalin’s Organ is making it’s way to War Thunder to help bring some music to accompany the destruction.

Officially the BM-13N launcher, and mounted on a series of trucks, with a long line of variants, the Katyusha as it was called by the Soviet troops that used her, was a very easy to produce mobile artillery piece. With a very impressive sound when fired in groups, and being easily movable to any position, fired and moved to the rear for what was a long reload.

The Katyusha is the first non-tank “No Line of Sight” launcher put into War Thunder, and having used vehicles such as the German Brummbär and even the US T34 Calliope (MRLS on top of a M4 Sherman) I can tell you it’s going to be a very difficult vehicle to master, but with the RS-132 rockets, can easily take out low tier vehicles, or light tanks.

To get your Katyusha for free, there is a challenge, head on over to the official dev blog for the tutorial on how to get it for free, and good luck, a bit of help though, the minimum range for the launcher on the BM-8 is around 200m, but the tank has very thin armour, so don’t leave yourself exposed too long.
