War Thunder's Firebirds Update: Stealth, Power, and Naval Might Arrive in Early November
Gaijin Entertainment has announced the upcoming Firebirds update for War Thunder, launching in early November. This major update boasts a significant addition of new aircraft, ground vehicles, and warships, promising a thrilling expansion of gameplay.
New Aircraft Soaring into War Thunder
The Firebirds update introduces a selection of iconic military aircraft, including:
-
F-117A Nighthawk: War Thunder's first stealth aircraft. Its unique design, incorporating radar-absorbing materials and clever angles to deflect radar waves, made it a legendary ghost in the skies during Operation Desert Storm. Its impressive combat record of over 1,200 sorties without a single loss speaks volumes.
-
Su-34 Fullback: Russia's powerful fighter-bomber joins the fray, adding another formidable option to the air combat roster.
-
F-15E Strike Eagle: An enhanced variant of the classic F-15, the Strike Eagle boasts a 50% larger payload capacity. Players will have access to a diverse arsenal, including AGM-65 Maverick missiles, laser-guided bombs, JDAMs, and the devastating GBU-39 satellite-guided bombs (20 at a time!). Its inclusion underscores its real-world status as a cornerstone of the U.S. Air Force's strike capabilities.
Ground and Naval Reinforcements
Beyond the impressive aerial additions, the Firebirds update also brings significant ground and naval reinforcements:
-
FV107 Scimitar (British): A light tank known for its agility and maneuverability.
-
Dunkerque (French): A powerful battleship that will undoubtedly reshape naval engagements.
Aces High Season Continues
The Aces High season continues alongside the Firebirds update, offering players the chance to unlock unique vehicles, trophies, and rewards through season completion and Battle Pass progression. Expect a range of aircraft (Bf 109 G-14, F2G-1, La-11), formidable platoons (T54E2, G6), and ships (HMS Orion, USS Billfish).
