War Thunder Unveils Firebirds Update with Aircraft Additions

Gaijin Entertainment has unveiled exciting news for War Thunder players: the Firebirds update, arriving in early November, introduces a host of new aircraft and other military hardware. This substantial update boasts iconic additions to the game's roster.

New Aircraft Additions to War Thunder

Prepare for the arrival of legendary aircraft, including the stealthy American F-117 Nighthawk, the Russian Su-34 fighter-bomber, and the powerful F-15E Strike Eagle. These are just a few of the exciting additions. The update also features new ground vehicles and warships, such as the British FV107 Scimitar light tank and the French battleship Dunkerque.

Let's delve into some key additions. The F-117A Nighthawk marks War Thunder's first stealth aircraft, boasting radar-evading design features. Its unique shape, radar-absorbing materials, and intricate engine shielding made it a near-invisible force during Operation Desert Storm, completing over 1,200 combat sorties without a single loss.

In contrast, the F-15E Strike Eagle emphasizes sheer firepower. This upgraded F-15 variant boasts a 50% larger payload capacity and a ground target detection radar, enabling devastating attacks with weaponry ranging from AGM-65 Maverick missiles to laser-guided and JDAM bombs, including the ability to deploy 20 GBU-39 satellite-guided bombs simultaneously.

More Than Just Aircraft

The Firebirds update extends beyond aircraft, incorporating new ground and naval reinforcements. These include the agile British FV107 Scimitar tank and the formidable French Dunkerque battleship.

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