The first units for the French naval tree, new and updated graphical effects and data structure optimization along with ejection seats for selected modern jets. Amongst the 43 new as well as updated vehicle models, one can't help but mention the real behemoth - the Char 2C, the agile AH-6M "Little Bird" helicopter or the first French light cruiser; Duguay-Trouin! In addition to all this, the winter version of the location "Seversk", a new location for fans of avionics - Pyrenees, and as always, many improvements and fixes! Let's welcome the "Sky Guardians" update!

Please feel free to leave your feedback on this Major update in the feedback thread by clicking here

Ground vehicles Each nation will be enriched with a new machine! Among them, the iconic in some circles "little tank", the Sd.Kfz.222 (in versions for Germany and China!), heavy tanks like T1E1, Char 2C or Churchill NA75 and the long-awaited Italian Ariete AMV PT1!




Aviation 18 new and updated aircraft, among them the unique Yak-141, refreshed models of the huge Lancasters and the long-awaited MiG-29 for the German tree and a special version of the F-16 for Japan!




Helicopters Don't let the AH-6M "Little Bird"'s apparel fool you! In the right hands, this bird will be a terror on the battlefields!



Naval Fleet 10 new naval vessels are coming, among them the mighty USS Nevada and the heralded long-awaited French ships MN Aigle and Duguay-Trouin!




New mechanics and graphical updates Pilots should be delighted! Ejection seats, an updated steam cone effect, new contrail and flow separation effects and updated damage effects are already waiting for you.


The new file structure will speed up the installation of updates on your computers and consoles, as well as reduce the size of download files! To switch to the new file structure, you will need to re-download about 16 GB of data. More details
