War Thunder is Dropping Its Firebirds Update With New Aircraft Soon!

Gaijin Entertainment has exciting news! War Thunder's "Firebirds" update, arriving in early November, is packed with new aircraft and features. This update introduces some major players in military aviation.

New Aircraft in War Thunder

Get ready for iconic additions like the American F-117 stealth attack aircraft, Russia's Su-34 fighter-bomber, and the F-15E Strike Eagle—and that's just the beginning! New ground vehicles and warships are also included, such as the British FV107 Scimitar light tank and the French battleship Dunkerque.

Let's delve into some highlights. The F-117A Nighthawk marks War Thunder's first stealth aircraft. Its unique design, employing hard edges and radar-absorbing materials, allows it to evade radar and infrared detection. This design proved incredibly effective; in real-life Operation Desert Storm, it completed over 1,200 combat sorties without a single loss.

The F-15E Strike Eagle, an upgraded F-15 variant, focuses on sheer firepower. Boasting a 50% larger payload than its predecessor, it features a ground target detection radar and an impressive arsenal. Expect to utilize everything from AGM-65 Maverick missiles and laser-guided bombs to JDAMs and even the GBU-39 satellite-guided bombs (20 at a time!). Its inclusion speaks volumes about its importance in the U.S. Air Force's strike capabilities.

More Than Just Aircraft

Beyond the exciting new aircraft, the "Firebirds" update brings significant ground and naval reinforcements. This includes tanks like the agile British FV107 Scimitar and the powerful French battleship Dunkerque.

The new "Aces High" season is also underway, offering unique vehicles to unlock and numerous rewards for completing the season and Battle Pass. These rewards include aircraft such as the Bf 109 G-14, F2G-1, and La-11, along with formidable platoons like the T54E2 and G6, and ships like the HMS Orion and USS Billfish.
