Gaijin Entertainment has thrilled War Thunder enthusiasts with the announcement of the Firebirds update, slated for early November. This update is a treasure trove of new content, especially for aviation fans, bringing in some legendary military aircraft. Let's delve into the new additions and what they mean for your gameplay.
Which Are the New Aircraft in War Thunder?
The update introduces a stellar lineup of aircraft, including the American F-117 stealth attack aircraft, the Russian Su-34 fighter-bomber, and the formidable F-15E Strike Eagle. Alongside these aerial powerhouses, the update also rolls out new ground vehicles and warships, such as the British FV107 Scimitar light tank and the French battleship Dunkerque.
F-117A Nighthawk
The F-117A Nighthawk marks a historic addition to War Thunder as the first aircraft to feature stealth technology. Its design is a marvel of military engineering, with hard edges and sharp angles that deflect radar waves, complemented by radar-absorbing materials and ferromagnetic paint. The engines are ingeniously shielded to minimize detection. In real-world scenarios, like Operation Desert Storm, the F-117 proved its mettle, completing over 1,200 combat sorties without a single loss, truly embodying the ghost in the sky.
F-15E Strike Eagle
For those who crave raw power, the F-15E Strike Eagle is a game-changer. An evolution of the iconic F-15, this aircraft boasts a 50% larger payload and is equipped with advanced ground target detection radar. You'll have an arsenal at your fingertips, from AGM-65 Maverick missiles to laser-guided and JDAM navigation-guided bombs, not to mention the capability to deploy up to 20 GBU-39 satellite-guided bombs in a single sortie. It's no wonder the F-15E is a cornerstone of the U.S. Air Force's strike capabilities.
The Firebirds update isn't just about the skies; it also enhances the ground and naval battles with additions like the agile British FV107 Scimitar and the imposing French battleship Dunkerque.
