Gaijin Entertainment has just dropped some thrilling news for War Thunder fans. The Firebirds update, set to launch in early November, promises a feature-rich experience, introducing a slew of new aircraft and more to the game. Let's dive into the details of these exciting additions.
Which Are the New Aircraft in War Thunder?
The update brings iconic military aviation to the forefront, including the American F-117 stealth attack aircraft, Russia's Su-34 fighter bomber, and the formidable F-15E Strike Eagle. Alongside these aerial marvels, new ground vehicles and warships such as the British FV107 Scimitar light tank and the French battleship Dunkerque will also make their debut.
Let's break down these new additions one by one. The F-117A Nighthawk is a groundbreaking inclusion, marking the first time a stealth aircraft graces the skies of War Thunder. Its design is engineered for minimal radar and infrared detection, featuring hard edges and sharp angles to deflect radar waves, radar-absorbing materials, ferromagnetic paint, and engines shielded for stealth. In real-world scenarios, such as Operation Desert Storm, the F-117 proved its prowess, completing over 1,200 combat sorties without a single loss.
In contrast, the F-15E Strike Eagle emphasizes sheer power and destructive capability. As an enhanced version of the F-15, it boasts a payload 50% larger than its predecessor and is equipped with advanced ground target detection radar. Players can utilize a range of weaponry, from AGM-65 Maverick missiles and laser-guided bombs to JDAM navigation-guided and GBU-39 satellite-guided bombs, capable of dropping 20 at once. It's no wonder the F-15E is a cornerstone of the U.S. Air Force's strike capabilities.
There are quite a few new flying machines hitting the skies!
Beyond the new aircraft, the Firebirds update enriches War Thunder with additional ground and naval units. The agile British FV107 Scimitar light tank and the imposing French battleship Dunkerque are among the new additions that players can look forward to.
The new season, Aces High, is also in full swing, offering players the chance to unlock unique vehicles and earn various rewards by completing the season and Battle Pass. From aircraft like the Bf 109 G-14, F2G-1, and La-11 to formidable platoons such as the T54E2 and G6, and ships like the HMS Orion and USS Billfish, there's plenty to strive for.
