War Thunder Unveils "Firebirds" Update with Exciting Aircraft Additions

Gaijin Entertainment has revealed exciting news: War Thunder's "Firebirds" update, featuring a host of new aircraft, is slated for early November. This major update boasts significant additions to the game's military aviation roster.

New Aircraft Additions to War Thunder

The update introduces iconic aircraft such as the American F-117 stealth attack aircraft, Russia's Su-34 fighter-bomber, and the F-15E Strike Eagle, among others. Ground vehicles and warships also receive reinforcements, including the British FV107 Scimitar light tank and the French battleship Dunkerque.

Let's examine some key additions. The F-117A Nighthawk marks War Thunder's first stealth aircraft. Its unique design, incorporating radar-absorbing materials and strategically angled surfaces, minimizes radar and infrared detection. This aircraft's real-world performance, notably its success in Operation Desert Storm with over 1,200 sorties without a single loss, is legendary.

The F-15E Strike Eagle, an enhanced version of the classic F-15, delivers unparalleled firepower. Its significantly increased payload capacity, coupled with advanced ground target detection radar, makes it a formidable force. The arsenal includes AGM-65 Maverick missiles, laser-guided bombs, JDAMs, and even the GBU-39 satellite-guided bombs (delivering 20 in a single pass). Its status as a primary U.S. Air Force strike aircraft speaks volumes.

Beyond the Skies: Ground and Naval Forces

The "Firebirds" update expands beyond aircraft. Ground forces are bolstered by additions like the British FV107 Scimitar and the French Dunkerque battleship.

The current "Aces High" season offers further incentives, featuring unlockable vehicles, trophies, and rewards through Battle Pass completion. This includes aircraft such as the Bf 109 G-14, F2G-1, and La-11, along with powerful ground units like the T54E2 and G6, and ships like the HMS Orion and USS Billfish.
