| 33s | Hello, friends! Welcome to our first major update of 2024: Alpha Strike! It brings reworked |
|---|---|
| 40s | mechanics, new visual effects, and all kinds of new vehicles! Let’s dive into them right away! |
| 47s | We’ve begun implementing the changes from our 2024 roadmap, and today we’re excited to |
| 51s | introduce our first batch of improvements! One of the most requested reworks was the |
| 56s | aircraft fuel system. You can now use a handy slider to fuel the internal tanks |
| 60s | of your planes and helicopters! No need to pick between minimum load and a full tank, just drag |
| 66s | the slider around and pick just the right amount for your next battle. If you feel like the old |
| 71s | system worked just fine, you can still use the old presets − they’re not going anywhere. |
| 76s | Another useful new feature is adjustable vehicle destruction messages. You can now make them |
| 81s | minimalistic and short or add more detail, like showing the squadron or weapon type. |
| 86s | Back in our winter update, we added some tutorial missions for advanced weapon systems. We only |
| 90s | covered two types of ordnance, but now this list has been significantly expanded! New tutorials |
| 95s | cover air-to-air missiles with active radar-homing devices as well as all air-to-surface munitions, |
| 101s | including bombs and missiles with laser, TV, and thermal guidance. |
| 106s | Another gameplay feature we’re adding is Sensor View for replays. It visualizes the |
| 111s | internal workings of all sophisticated systems, like sensors or guided munitions. Sensor View |
| 116s | adds special markers to all objects in the mission, showing extra data like distance, |
| 120s | speed, trajectory, and some others. We hope this will help you get more data about your battles, |
| 125s | which will be extra useful in high-rank sessions full of complicated devices and weapons. |
| 130s | We’re planning to further develop our auxiliary tools to make the game easier to master. |
| 135s | Aircraft modification windows have new animations showing the effect of each researchable module. |
| 140s | Naval battle gameplay gets a change, too. Large vessels now have a new user interface |
| 145s | for their fire control systems, which will impact the way these steel giants fight. |
| 150s | This spring update brings a new aircraft nation to the game! |
| 154s | The Italian tech tree now gets a branch of Hungarian aircraft. The backbone |
| 157s | of the new line is composed of familiar Soviet fighters, attackers, and bombers, |
| 162s | while the pinnacle of the branch is their own modification of the Swedish Gripen! |
| 166s | Also joining on the aviation front is the Alpha Jet, a combat-training aircraft co-manufactured |
| 171s | by the French Dassault and the German Dornier. It’s a small, lightweight plane |
| 176s | with comfortable handling and decent combat capabilities enhanced by a ballistic computer. |
| 181s | Another new aircraft is the Northrop F-20 Tigershark. It’s a deeply upgraded |
| 185s | version of the familiar F-5 fighter jet with a new wing and, more importantly, |
| 190s | a stronger power plant. Compared to its predecessors, the F-20 can boast improved |
| 195s | flight performance and combat capabilities, both in aerial battles and for close air support. |
| 200s | Helicopter enthusiasts will be happy to see a new modification of the Super Cobra, |
| 204s | the AH-1W. This chopper can be found before the true War Thunder vet, the famous Viper. |
| 211s | It’s armed with classic American rockets, gun pods, and guided air-to-surface missiles. |
| 216s | We’re also adding new ground vehicles, like this unusual modification of the American M60 that |
| 221s | uses a turret from the M1A1 Abrams. This hybrid is armed with a 120-mm cannon shooting powerful |
| 228s | subcaliber rounds, while a thermal vision device helps it find the enemies in no time. |
| 233s | Another new addition is the FV721 Fox, a British reconnaissance vehicle. It has a 30-mm autocannon |
| 240s | to fend off hostiles, but the main feature of this wheeler is its high speed and compact size. |
| 246s | The skies are now protected by a new cannon and missile anti-air system, the ZSU-23-4 M4. |
| 253s | Thanks to extra 9M39 Igla missiles, it can boast a higher efficiency than the classic Shilka. |
| 260s | The seas of War Thunder welcome a new top Japanese battleship, the Mutsu. |
| 265s | It brings record-setting 410-mm cannons as well as two dozen auxiliary and anti-air guns. |
| 273s | That’s far from all the new things we’re adding! There’s many more tanks, aircraft, |
| 277s | and vessels waiting for you. As usual, the full changelog is available on our official website! |
