| 35s | Hello, friends! Miss us? |
|---|---|
| 38s | Well, here we are, and we’re ready to present the first 2023 update |
| 42s | called “Sky Guardians”! |
| 45s | It brings reworked mechanics, improved visual effects, |
| 49s | a new research tree, and, of course, some long requested vehicles! |
| 54s | Let’s get started! |
| 56s | The open seas of War Thunder are ready to welcome the French navy! |
| 60s | The first premium vessels are already available for purchase: |
| 64s | the Aigle destroyer and the Duguay Trouin cruiser. |
| 68s | With one of the next updates, they will give their owners |
| 70s | a chance to take part in a closed beta-test of the full French navy tree. |
| 76s | And since we’re already far from shore, |
| 78s | let’s start the parade of the new vehicles right on the deck! |
| 82s | Ever since we introduced the first VTOL aircraft, |
| 85s | you’ve been reminding us about one particular |
| 88s | machine that you really wanted to see. |
| 90s | Well, what choice do we have? |
| 92s | Please welcome an all-weather supersonic multirole fighter |
| 96s | made by the Yakovlev bureau: |
| 98s | the Yak-141! |
| 100s | Its lift-cruise engine is equipped with an afterburner and a thrust-vectoring nozzle |
| 105s | providing an impressive level of acceleration, |
| 107s | while its on-board radar system will never miss a single target. |
| 112s | The aircraft has four hardpoints capable of carrying conventional bombs and rockets, |
| 116s | gun pods, and guided air-to-air missiles, |
| 119s | including up to four R-27 of various modifications. |
| 124s | The Tornado family welcomes a new interceptor modification, the ADV F3. |
| 130s | It can carry up to eight close and medium-range missiles for air combat. |
| 135s | Coupled with an advanced radar system, this set might become a very dangerous weapon! |
| 140s | We’ve prepared some older vehicles as well. |
| 143s | The Italian research tree is now reinforced with a prop biplane with floats. |
| 148s | It’s armed with a couple of large-caliber machine guns— |
| 151s | a heavy puncher for low ranks! |
| 154s | This tiny rotorcraft is the American AH-6M Little Bird. |
| 159s | You think it’s cute? |
| 160s | Well, what if we told you it’s a real ninja, |
| 163s | all in black and with six blades swishing through the air? |
| 167s | It’s packing a heavy arsenal against ground targets as well as machine guns! |
| 172s | The Czechoslovakian Lizard is ready to protect the skies. |
| 176s | Its wheeled base provides a good level of mobility, |
| 179s | while its twin 30-mm cannons will leave no chance for the pilots. |
| 184s | The Lizard is certainly amazing, |
| 186s | but it can’t compare to the new self-propelled |
| 188s | anti-aircraft missile complex, |
| 191s | the Pantsir-S1. |
| 192s | Its combat compartment houses two twin 30-mm cannons |
| 197s | as well as twelve anti-aircraft missiles. |
| 199s | This machine is eager to ground any airspace violator! |
| 203s | Its name means “carapace” in English, and we think it’s truly suitable here. |
| 209s | Chinese armored vehicles are now reinforced with a deeply modernized amphibious tank, |
| 214s | the ZTS63. |
| 216s | The focus of the upgrade is the new 85-mm cannon with an advanced fire control system |
| 222s | capable of firing finned DS rounds. |
| 227s | Big tank fans are in for a special treat: |
| 229s | a new modification of the French landship! |
| 232s | Unlike its premium sibling, this 70-ton beast with 12 crew members |
| 237s | is armed with a 75-mm cannon and capped rounds. |
| 243s | That’s far from all the new things we’ve added. |
| 246s | The combat UI now shows what type of rounds were used to destroy the player’s vehicle. |
| 251s | It’ll help you better understand the capabilities |
| 253s | of each ammo type in air combat |
| 255s | and get ready for the next battle. |
| 257s | And of course, we improved the visual part of the game, too! |
| 261s | New contrails and vapor cones, |
| 263s | dynamic effects of burning and tarnishing for aircraft, |
| 267s | new effects for small-caliber HE round hits... |
| 270s | Even the grass blowing in the wind is now more realistic! |
| 273s | Remember when pilots of modern jets had to use a parachute like it was still WW2? |
| 279s | Well, not anymore! |
| 281s | Leaving a top aircraft will now be accompanied |
| 283s | with a beautiful ejection seat animation! |
| 287s | Navy captains can now purchase camos for all large vessels. |
| 291s | It’s a smaller change, but still nice, isn’t it? |
| 294s | Vehicle models are getting some updates, too. |
| 297s | Moreover, it’s true both for older vehicles like the Lancasters or Beaufighters, |
| 302s | and newer ones like the F-16 ADF. |
| 305s | On top of that, we’ve added unique cockpits |
| 308s | to all members of the Fighting Falcon family, |
| 311s | including the new Japanese F-16AJ. |
| 315s | And of course, there’s the Italian Caio Duilio battleship! |
| 320s | As usual, the full changelog is available on our official website. |
| 325s | Please subscribe to our channel, enjoy the new vehicles, |
| 328s | and don’t forget to share your impressions in the comments! |
| 332s | Bye! |
